Can we pay him more? Like, right now? At least give the Dominican God some free beers or something!

Yep. It felt like he got lost in the middle quarters a little but he finished strong when the team needed his focus.

I am fully in the camp that Horford is an all star and a max player and I love having him on the Celtics.  He's been the best player for the Celtics in the playoffs.

But... Seeing him take 4 shots in 30 minutes in a blowout loss makes is frustrating to argue with those who say he's overrated and too passive. While I generally disagree with that assessment of his game, he does have to be more aggressive than he was in Game 3.

Big Al definitely needs to assert himself on the road in Cleveland. There is no more important time for him to be the aggressor then in this situation. 4 shots in the game is unreal. Stevens needs to get him involved from the get go. Al is not the only one to blame in that situation.

A team filled with young one's on the road in a hostile Lebron environment. Your veteran superstar needs to say hello in Big Al fashion tonight.

Agreed, but as he's not the primary ball handler, it would be nice to see someone pass him the ball. There was far too much isolation ball. The ball should touch Horford's hands on most if not all positions. Pull up threes and Morris going one on one will not win games.

Sure Horford needs to be more aggressive, but his team mates have to help him with that.
