Robert Williams was totally indispensible to Boston against Golden State in last year’s Finals. This series against Philly he’s been toast. Sad trombones moment on the House eurostep: pic.twitter.com/wrn4yO0KHM – 10:20 PM

Rob Williams in now and the back line defensive positioning is messed up, lets Tucker get an open 3 and he actually hits it. This game looks like it’s over. – 9:47 PM

Situational basketball… Embiid got the stop on Derrick White drive
Tyrese Maxey should not be shooting the first corner 3 available. He misses, they put Brown on the free throw line immediately (where he misses yet another one…) – 9:41 PM

Rob Williams will play a great defensive possession then not put his hand up on the shot and get burned like 60% of the time. – 8:32 PM

Now Doc Rivers calls a quick timeout of his own after Boston starts to cut into Philly’s lead and gets it back to single-digits.
James Harden started this quarter off well, but just had a couple rough offensive possessions sandwiched around fouling Derrick White on a 3. – 8:12 PM

Newly minted All-Defense second-teamer Derrick White led all guards with 76 blocks this season. Five of those came against Philly
Only one block so far for White in East semis. @DKSportsbook set the over/under at 0.5 blocks in Game 5. #DKPartner pic.twitter.com/kuVcTMYKqE – 6:19 PM

Derrick White has been named second team All-Defense
Of all the stories I’ve written about his defense, this one about his love for NBA Paint is my favorite: https://t.co/NGKCY3FPCJ pic.twitter.com/1mLsXlxD9C – 2:08 PM

The #NBA will reveal its 2023 All-Defensive team with Derrick White standing among the favorites to make it.
White said it’d mean the most to his dad, who hasn’t texted him yet as he always does before games with advice.
