Horford: “You’re laughing? You don’t think I’m an elite shooter? My numbers don’t support it?”
Media member: Yes they do.
Horford said he’s gone through ups and downs shooting all season. Said it’s a part of being “an elite shooter.”
One media member laughed at that label.

What a moron. I wonder what reporter/media member it was.
The balls on that reporter to laugh at this
Big Al bout to make it rain
Al becomes the Splashfather tonight.
Shooters shoot
He’s going off tonight
Let’s do it Al.
He shot 44.6 percent from three this season for the second highest 3pt percentage in the league. I’d say that’s elite
Remember when Grant Williams career was over because he missed his first 25 threes? Or Hauser shot 30% for 2 months and was toast? Or Horford – a 38% three point shooter since he started hoisting them 8 years ago – was cooked 3 weeks after finishing a season where he made 45% of his threes?
So Al is shooting 15-15 from 3 tonight?
Al threes are enormous in this series – if he has a game where he knocks down a bunch, i don’t see how Philly beats us.
Boston Media is the absolute worst
Over/under it was Washburn?
In his first 7 seasons Al attempted 10 3s *total*. This year he had 325 attempted 3s and finished 2nd in 3%. Absolutely crazy. Makes Ben Simmons look like an absolute chump.
Would like to give a preemptive thanks to this reporter for the inspo, Al going off tonight
later tonight… “Celtics media member humiliated”
He took that personal
I do think he’s due to return to form. I also fear that he’s got tired legs. Looks like he’s been short rimming them, or trying to compensate and backrimming.
Hopefully just adjusting to playoff intensity and finding in the right rhythm.
They’re just giving him that shot so hopefully he can get back to himself.
I have faith that it’ll start pouring soon.
Horford’s the type to go 5-6 tonight lol
That laugh sounds like Karalis!
After his press conference, Al looked at the 3-point line and said two words, “I’m back.”
2/10 or 8/10 from 3 tonight for Al, book it.
And will still feel like he played a good game either way
Kick that motherfucker out I won’t hear disrespect for Mr Dad Al, especially when by the numbers he’s absolutely an elite shooter
New 3pt made record tonight thanks to this reporter
Al “that’s what I thought” Horford
I love the “how dare you disrespect me” celtics. Lets go!
I wonder what % JT or JB would be if they only took 3’s with the shot quality that Al gets.
Alright so hammer over Al Horford 3+ three pointers at +220… got it.
Lol. Al IS an elite 3pt shooter. We’re lucky to have him
The interview

He’s right I remember when ray allen would miss all of his 3’s in the playoffs for the Celtics…. 😂🤣
Name of the moron?
Keep shooting. Chomp-chomp
Time to talk to your kids about ELITE 3pt shooter Al Horford.
