horford plays smooth

[rollie mass]

i enjoy horford getting a board and taking off upcourt
this guy plays smart ,sophisticated basketball
brad is lucky to have his veteren presence with all the rookies coming
 his screens are textbook, strong wide wide base giving huge advantage for isaiah and avery
his outside shooting and pic and pop again favor isaiah
the first team is just starting to gel and horford going into the paint with a controlled physical presence sort of sublime like that little flip hook, it is not in excess as he clears space and his passing and timing on perimeter
it was a privilege watching him play and i.m re watching right now and it is even better-

I think the recent road trip out west helped a lot of fans appreciate the nuanced contributions to Horford's game and how the team suffers without them.  Having won some good money betting on Horford's first national championship at Flordia (a bet made in January) I've been a big fan of Horford for quite some time- if posts from the 2007 draft are searchable on this board, you can fact check that.  I still think he needs to be more aggressive in the playoffs for us, but I think he's gotten more flak than he deserves by people who haven't played D-1 caliber ball/opponents, like you Rollie.
