Hey Horford, Yi ROM

Horford just hasn't looked the same since the Ford thing. C'mon man, get over it.

Wasn't his fault, just the way it is in sport.

Get back to being Big Bad Al.

buks lost by 45pts and they have a losing record, hawks have a winning record and al is a big part of that. Who hands out these rewards.

oh well atleast I dont look like a fool (because I suggest that we draft Yi)
but I would rather have al than Yi.

Not second guessing the drafting, just like to see Horford play with the loose, energetic enthousiasme of pre-Toronto game.

The only difference in Horford I noticed since the Raptors game. His rebounding has went down. That is thanks in large part to Smoove improving his rebounding.

He does have to reassert himself in the paint.

Since the home loss to the Raps he's had just one double-digit effort on the boards (at Dallas) out of 9 games, compared to 13 times in the 21 games that included Toronto.

He has bageled on blocks with greater propensity (5 of the last 9 games, compared to 7 times in the 21 games, including Toronto, before Whack-gate).

I'd like to see him get more touches on offense with consistency (at least ten FG attempts per night? I'm biased since he's the sole ATLien on my fantasy squad). I hope we don't have to wait for the season to go totally south before he gets the Shelden Williams-in-April treatment on offense.
