Then we can at least incorporate some pick and rolls in our gameplan.

I don't think Horford has been the factor that has kept us from incorporating pick and rolls in our gameplan.

Well when Al has had the chance to shoot a midrange jumper it is usually very off target. Usually hitting the side of the rim and not the inside of the cylinder.

Lies and damned lies.

via 82games.com:

FG% on 2 point jumpshots

Joe Johnson: 41.2

Al Horford: 41.0

Glen Davis: 36.5

And just for fun

Josh Smith: 32.2

If Big Baby can develop a consistent mid range shot then Al can too. This offseason he needs to do nothing but learn how to hit that shot.

Then we can at least incorporate some pick and rolls in our gameplan.

Technically, if the big man stays out to take a jumpshot after setting the screen, isn't it then called a "pick and pop"?

As long as Al doesn't also attend the Big Baby/Eddy Curry school of rebounding. What a waste of two big guys. They can score down low. Not much else.

Al Horford showed that he had a midrange game during the regular season. When he was open, he made it. I think the ankle thing has to be bothering him in the playoffs. As Wally Blase said, "if this was the regular season, all these players would be out for weeks."

Funny what an ankle injury and a few missed days can do to your timing and confidence.

Big Baby has vastly improved since the beginning of the season. If you have been watching the Celtics lately you would know he has been knocking that midrange shot down consistently.

Hell lets just sign Big Baby

We had Big Baby in the high second round - but we traded that pick to get AJ to try and keep our win total up to justify GM/Coaches being retained. I hope AJ does good next year...ooops...he's gone.

Not trying to be a smart @ss - but really...most of our recent moves have been to salvage GM/Coach paychecks. We seem to just want to keep the 13 - to - whatever thing going. Pretty easy when you start at 13...until now. It gets harder.
