^Wow. Bad timing to say that after what they've shown the last few games.
Totally disagree with most of what you just said, so I'll just deal with the "undersized" remark: they are big at SF and PF, which is where I want them.

My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.

Perspective, my friend. A hot stretch can't make up for 5 years of mediocre, inconsistent play.
We need a Center.

You're gonna LOVE JJ Hickson as your starting SF next season.
You won't even miss that Josh Smith guy...

Re: Why Al Horford isn't a Power Forward
Al is a Center. We're just not smart enough to give him the ball enough for him to dominate
Al Horford could be 1st or 2nd team all NBA center in this weak Center era if we had enough common sense to give him the ball more often.
He's finally touched the ball more recently and has had 9 straight games with 20 PPG. But he could average that over the course of a season easily if we had sense enough to do that all year long

Hickson as a SF? What am I missing?
Sure, Horford is a Center. Problem is, he gets beat up there, plus, many of us think he could dominate at PF.
