Horford is everything the Celtics lacked last season, a true post scorer

 

[Lurker]

He can do things but one thing he can't do is score in the post. He's a great passing big man and good at perimeter defense for a big. Perimeter defense matters more for the Hawks than Boston, as the perimeter defense is needed to cover up Kyle while Bradley and Crowder are great defenders and don't need as much help.

Selltics fans after he drops one of his patented 12pt, 4reb performances ...

"Sully, thought dis guy was Wilt Jabbar? Wh' happ'nd?"

[MaceCase]

SI also posted an article today stating that Bud "has a strong aversion to low-post play".  I guess none of us knew anything,  Bud has stifled a low post star all these years in favor of promoting his "system".

 

"coach, I can get us 20 and 10 tonight, that's BBQ pollo in the post!"

"NO!  We need to get Thabo and Pero 8 each! Pace and Space!  PACE AND SPACE!"

That sounds correct.  He doesn't like the post and avoids it (i.e., he has a strong aversion to low-post play).

[Sothron]

That's the article I was referring to in the "Horford is a star" that called Horford a post scorer. It sounds sillier the more times I type it.

Sigh!!! This again? - low post and Al Horford should never be in the same sentence.

The previous article was about Al in the low post creating double teams to create open shots for the perimeter guys.

One idiot mentions Al as a post player and the rest follow like sheep off a cliff.Smdh.

I'd rather see Timmy jr. post up like the other night more than Karl Horford. Lol

[Gray Mule]

He's young.  He's great.  He can do all sorts of things, many of which we never saw in Atlanta!

Their coach says he's their younger Kevin Garret. 

He's perfect for what they needed and is expected to lead them to #2 in the east.  Cleveland is

known as the NBA gods but these green men are right behind them.

He was given the opportunity to stay in Hawk country.  He is quoted as saying, "We had some

good teams in Atlanta, but - - - - - "

Hint:  Fans were so superior for the Celtics, how could he resist?  And, with the addition of him,

that team is superior to all teams in the east, Cavs being the exception.

Except when they play Cleveland, any loss they suffer will have to be an upset.  He's that good!

Are you with me?  Are you ready to desert the lowly Hawks and jump on the mighty Boston band wagon?

Me neither !

GO ATLANTA !!

Or him getting rooted out by 2-guards?  Or his pivoting out of prime post position to jab-step his man into the Bolivian (#ThanksMikeTyson)?  Or witness his "post moovs" which consist of pounding the ball in, not backing down much and ending up getting muscled into a crap-hook off the wrong foot then whining for a foul.

Don't forget the one-clap at the end.

He is a perfect fit for Boston. He'll have the same impact for them like he did for ATL 2 seasons ago. 

Dude chased the money though. Nearly signed with WAS. If he was all about winning he would have followed KD to GS.

I take my hand off to you for the Tyson quote...

I still think we should of kept him. He's solid, hes a great mid range shooter, good passer, good rebounder, good defender, High BBIQ.  He's not Wilt Chamberlain or anything, but he is a good player. Everyone just wants to poo poo him now that he left.

Can't keep someone who doesn't want to be here.  

He is a good player, he's a perfect player to add to that Boston team - he'll help their offense and defense...but a post player he is NOT - there is no disputing that.

[Watchman]

Yeah, Horford has been rebounding a little better this preseason (last time I looked, something like 6 RPG in 16+MPG so far.)  We'll see if it carries over to the regular season.  If so, then that pretty much ought to signify to everyone that he has been dogging it trying to prevent injuries the last couple of seasons, and letting his team down in the process. Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.

I agree with all that including that I want to poo poo him.    I love the guy actually and I won't ever boo him.   But for such a solid guy and great player he didn't handle his leaving with very much grace.   I really don't have much against him though.  It's really the media fawning all over him and the Celtics when they rarely said much at all about him while he was a hawk.

Agreed.  He is still a very good player but he is the same guy he was here - an ideal fit as a #3 on a championship team.  But the narrative has changed to make it seem like he is this legit superstar #1 scorer now that he is in Boston.  That narrative both pisses people off here when we enjoyed his best work and he wasn't regarded like that and it is easy pickings for sniping.  Saying he is going to draw double teams in the post, that he will be one of the best rebounders in the league, that he is a true #1 scoring option for a contender, and that he is a true post scorer is just silly.  And everyone of those things have been said.
