Rob Williams sets impressive Celtics single-season record originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

It took Robert Williams only 40 games to set a Boston Celtics single-season record.

The Celtics big man broke the franchise record for most dunks in a season during Saturday's game vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. He notched his 95th dunk of the campaign to top Brandon Bass' previous record set in 2014-15, per Taylor Snow of Celtics.com.

Rob Williams just set the Celtics’ single-season record for dunks (95) in less than half a season's worth of games (40)

1. R. Williams (21-22): 95
2. B. Bass (14-15): 94
3. R. Williams (20-21): 93
4. K. Garnett (07-08): 84
   A. Walker (97-98): 84

(Stathead db goes back to 96)


That isn't the only stat that illustrates Williams' dominance at the rim. The fourth-year center also extended his streak of games with seven or more rebounds to 28. He brought down 10 boards in the first half and entered Saturday averaging 9.2 rebounds per game. He's also averaged 2.1 blocks.

Williams has made the most of his opportity as a starter this season. He still has to prove he's put his nagging injuries behind him, but it's becoming more and more clear the Celtics might have something special.

MY NOTE: Wow. And we still have a lot of games left to play in this season.

Rob is so good he seems to play well with everybody but I notice Ime has been rotating him and Marcus in and out of games together.  It seems to be working.  With Marcus defending up top and Rob defending the paint  we have a dynamic pair that actually sets the tone for our defense.

I think we’ve found a Gem..

That's all Ime with the line ups, BTW...I'm just sayin'!!

dboss, tomorrow will once again show us a lot. Time to get the measuring stick out and see how we stack up against the best in the league.

The interior game lives!

There is hope for the NBA game after all.

Not until they start calling carries and walks. Until then, it’s an exhibition in low-skill/no skill 3 pt shooting. Yuck!

Robert Williams blocks by range with league rank: Rim: 23 (t-30th) 4-14 FT: 51 (1st) 14-3PT line: 5 (t-3rd) Corner 3: 1 (t-28th) ATB 3: 8 (t-2nd) Total: 88 (4th)

Here's his potentially game-saving block last night vs Charlotte.

We've also seen him recover and help out even though he's out on the perimeter.

If he ever develops a Robert Parish-like mid-range game...the first step is to get his fritos up above 75%.  Then work on elbow jumpers.

Do a frame by frame slow motion look at what he did.

Amazing!

Truly amazing. Huge! Leave it to Scal to undersell it with giggles and grins. Mikes one work “BLOCK” had more emphasis then Scal. Even in replay where Veal did all the talking. Still didn't give it justice,
