Al Horford (1)

Id honestly say Horford or Korver, gonna go with Korver. Hit 2 BIG back to back 3s that really got us back in the game

[NeZoRiL]

Going Teague here. Hit a few big shots, dished, rebounded...

Shout-out to sweet Lou, though.

DISGUSTING.

Josh's passing and key rebounding was critical for the comeback, but i have to give it up to Teague. Teague was the player of the game and he is becoming one of the leagues' better five tool players, defense, shooting, dunks, creating, and IQ.

Falcons win, Hawks win, Morehouse wins big, Obama wins, Tech wins, unemployment keeps going down in Fulton County, it just has been a great week for Fulton County.

Teague

I can't say Korver because they wouldn't have been down if he and Harris weren't leaving shooters open.

If I see a guy not get out to his guy and just stop and throw up his hands instead of closing again(and again, Harris and Korver did this MULTIPLE times) they should be pulled out the game immediately.

Teague or Smith here for me. Smith just played plain hard and Teague was clutch.

Are we beginning to believe in Horford's ability to play the PF position at a high level?

Can we start the movement (again) to obtain a starting caliber Center to play next to AL in the front court?

Did you not see West eating Horford's lunch on the defensive end? Al has to work on lateral speed to become a good PF. I know West is one of the best in the east when he is aggressive, but that just wasn't a good showing on Horford's part going up against West.

Keep Horford at the 5 and make him develop his post moves and get stronger/tougher. He isn't a dominant 4 to just force the organization to have to find a 5, so he can play the 4. If we just so happen find a decent 5, then by all means, move him over. Mozgov anyone?! We seem to not like Fesenko I guess.

Is Josh Smith a dominant 4?

Do we really blieve Horford can still develop his post game much further than it already is?

Zaza, Horford and Smoove > Horford, Smoove and Korver (or Morrow, or Tolliver.)

How many swift, scoring PFs are out there that can score that way against big strong Horford?

Dirk, West, LaMarcus, Bosh? Anybody else, including Josh Smith, Horford can handle with sheer strength and size.

It's not really a thing of defense simply because Josh is undersized against certain guys as well. My thing is, who will Horford really take advantage of offensively? Horford definitely gives us more size, and Josh provides weakside shotblocking, but moving Horford just because he wants to play the 4 isn't a must do imo. His spacing at the 5 helps bring other teams 5 out of the paint for guys like Teague and Lou, which is better for the team. If we could get maybe Mozgov or Koufos from Denver, then sliding Horford wouldn't be a problem. Everyone else is holding onto their bigs this season..
