Al was great last night, no doubt, perhaps his best game as a Celtic against a top center.I don't mean to mince words, but this is what I expected. He is not better than expected, not sure why anyone would have expected less for $115m.
Horford would benefit greatly from playing next to a legit big man. I really like him at PF. If only we could find a bad team with a stud center to make a trade...
Simply a dominant performance by Horford. He made Cousins extremely inefficient 10-26 shooting. And he stuffed him when the game was on the line. BTW Horford is averaging 2.9 blocks per game which would lead the NBA once he has enough games under his belt to qualify.And don't forget his 4 three pointers. How do you guard a Big who can score on you both inside and outside?"According to basketball-reference.com, he became the first NBA player on record to tally at least 26 points, four 3-pointers, six blocks and two steals in one game."Al Horford has been the signing of the offseason for the Celtics! If he stays healthy, we can really win a lot of tough ball games.PS Seeing the way Cousins freelanced and got stuffed in the 4th, do we really want to give up the farm for this guy? Seems a bit of a knucklehead. Very talented, but not a natural winner like our own Horford. Is it worth it to give up some pieces to put this guy at the 5 next to Al?
