  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
Charles Barkley is not always right but he made a great point before the series that Horford needed to score 20 points a game for us to win. He did in the first two but not the two away games. I really think we need to get his O going to win the series. I am excited for game 5 to see if Big Al can score again.

Completely agree. Buck defense has really worked on doubling up on him, though.

20 is an arbitrary number but I get his point, the C's become more dangerous when Horford is more aggressive.

I don't fully agree with it, though. He only had 13 yesterday and it was a tie game with 30 seconds left, so Horford scoring big numbers isn't a necessity.

He did miss a dunk early in yesterday's game—combine that with the foolish ending sequence in the first quarter, and there's the ballgame right there.

Do you have any evidence for this? Because nothing supports this

Horford's only scored 20 once, he got 16 in Game 2.

Like a lot of things with Al, he doesn't need to put up numbers to be productively aggressive. I'd rather he rack up a bunch of hockey assists than a round number of points. We do need to run  the ball through him more often. I think Smart's return will help a lot with that.

If he doesn't blow those two alley-oops and a couple of those baby hook bunnies go down, we may be talking about a 30 point explosion from Al.

Obviously he does a lot of things outside of putting the ball in the hoop, but I am glad to see him coming up big when it matters.
