He had the lowest amount of rebounds in game seven out of all of our starters-He did not assert himself like I had hoped for-Good complimentary piece who will never carey his team in game sevens of finals or ecf vs Lebron or Embiid—-good complimentary piece-

Wait.... Horford isn't as good as Lebron?

I agree.  Missed two crucial shots late in the game and had a poor game 6 performance

Lebron is his worst nightmare

We won the rebounding battle 42-41. Al not getting a bunch of rebounds didn't lose this game. It was shooting the three that did us in and Horford only took one and missed. The rest of this team was 7 for 38. Horford was outstanding out there tonight.

He just needed to be better then Green and Thompson for this game to go down to wire- Didn't expect Blount with boards- who wants it more usually who gets the boards-

I'm not going to be too hard on Horford - he has been a stabilizing force for our young team - but it's unfortunate that he (along with everybody but Tatum) wilted under the pressure of Lebron once again. The dude only went 1-5 in the 2nd half and that was on a dunk. We needed more from him, we needed a coach on the floor, and he came up empty when we needed him most.

It will be interesting to see this team fully healthy. I've always thought Hayward could take over the Horford role pretty seamlessly. Of course I'd like to see everyone on this roster return next year for a real shot at a championship, but I'd rather Horford's huge contract not prevent us from re-signing players to fair contracts in the future.

Bottom line is Horford is a really god player. If he's the best player on your team like he had to be this playoff run then you arent winning it all. If he is your 4th or 5th best player like he might be next season then you are a contender.

They let the Cavs hammer him all night and no fouls called. He played really well tonight in spite of no respect.

Not good enough. Prob would need to include Brown

I gotta ask. Why do we want Towns? He is a great offensive player but he honestly couldn't play in the conference finals right now, he's that bad defensively. I'd rather have Brown. A 1-5 switchable defender is a arguably more valuable on a team with Tatum and Irving to do the heaving lifting offensively.
