Props to Horford

[tontoz]

I guess this thread proves that i am obsessed with showing Horford is the wrong pick, right High5?

I can certainly understand why you fall back on that though. it is because you are unable to make a coherent argument.

He shot 92% from the line this month. 24-26. Very impressive considering how he looked earlier in the year. I'd like to see him around 75%.

I noticed the improvement too. Josh Smith should ask Al what he's been doing because his consistency at the line has gone the other way it seems.

I love Horford's game. When you compare him to any rookies we've had in the last few years, he's a monster. He knows where to be and what to do to help the team. I got to get his jersey soon.

Horford is the real deal! What's amazing to me is he hasn't hit the rookie wall. In fact, as others have brought up here, he's GETTING BETTER! That's the sign of a stud. We got a real keeper here boys!

Props to Horford on becoming better on the offensive end of the floor. The team need it with Marvin struggling so badly now. When it come to Smoove free throw shooting. There is nothing wrong with his form that I can see. I always felt Smoove could be a 80% at worst. The problem is his concentration at the line. If he tries he can make just about every free throw he takes.

The obsession grows.

Wow, for all Horford has done this year you have given him props on making his FTs. You made this thread to try and get people off your back but you made sure not to give him props for anything more than FTs. What do I win?

Like i said you can't make a coherent argument.

I have given Horford credit for doing what i said he should do back in November (face guys up instead of backing them down, take his midrange shot, making drives against slower players, using his fadeaway). He hasn't done that as much as i would like but he has moved in that direction.

He is shooting 40% on his jumpers, isn't backing guys down as much and as a result his shooting percentage has gone up and his turnovers have gone down.

I can easily point to numerous posts where i pointed out things Horford has done well. you can't point to ANY posts where i said Horford was the wrong pick. You just have to fall back on that because you know you have no argument.

Feel free to go find every post you can where you said something positive about Horford. It'll only make your obession funnier. I'm not trying to prove anything other than how crazy you get over Horford and you're doing a fine job of doing that for me.

The only thing you are proving is your own stupidity. I have never said Horford was the wrong pick and you can't find any post where i did. I said before the draft the guy i was afraid of was Yi. Horford/Law was my second choice. I didn't criticize the picks at all after the draft.

You just have to make stuff up because you dont have sense.

It is no different than your pathetic attempt to defend Smith's rebounding because he is a shotblocker. Last night Smith had 4 rebounds in 33 minutes. I guess he was too busy getting his 1 block to hit the boards.

[High 5]

On nights when Smith isn't dogging it, is playing hard and doesn't come down with a lot of rebounds that's usually the case. So yeah. No need to get so upset.

So if i made something up and claimed you said it you wouldn't get upset?

Here is why you argument is stupid. I probably have at least 100 posts where i criticized the Shelden pick (or the Marvin or Childress picks). I have never said horford was the wrong pick.

My preference before the draft was for Conley/Stuckey but it wasn't a nobrainer like Roy over Shelden. I wasn't convinced that Horford/Law was a significantly worse draft.

if i was intent on showing that Horford was the wrong pick then that would mean i was trying to show Conley was the right pick. And if that was the case why would i be constantly defending Law? If i wanted to show Conley should have been the pick i would be dogging Law all the time.

Like i said i understand why you are making this crap up.

You have been hating on Horford since long before he even played an NBA game. Tell yourself whatever you want to make yourself feel better, but the truth is obvious.

You are right the truth is obvious. You can't make a coherent argument so you have to make stuff up.

I don't like Horford as a full time center and i don't like his offensive game, although he has improved. But neither of those opinions have anything to do with the draft.

[High 5]

Go dig up all our previous agruments on Horford and read them again if you want to see my "coherent arguments." I said I wasn't going to try to talk sense into you anymore because you just ignore any valid points.

You havent made any points, valid or otherwise. That is why you have to make stuff up. You can't make valid points.

I don't need to dig up arguments about Horford. My position about Horford hasn't changed.

1) he isn't big enough to be a full time center. Nothing i have seen so far has changed that opinion. I am ok with him playing 15 minutes a game there long term since it appears unavoidable.

2)on offense he won't have success as a back to the basket player. he needs to face up, take the midrange shot, and use his quickness to get around bigger players.

That's it.

You'd think you would eventually take a hint when you have most of the forum saying the same thing about you. You are terrible at making arugments because you go off your often twisted logic (driven by bias) and you aren't willing to hear the other side. If I didn't find it humorous I wouldn't waste any time replying to you when it comes to certain subjects.

You still haven't found a quote where i said Horford was the wrong pick but you will go on repeating it as if it is a fact. yet i am the one with twisted arguments.



You have yet to respond to any comment i have actually made about Horfords game. I wonder why.

See previous arguments if you want to read them that bad. Like I said, I'm not going to bother with you anymore when it comes to Horford. There's nothing that can help blind hatred. I'm out for a bit, let's see what Horford does tonight to send you into a whirlwind.
