    A once considered “washed up” during his OKC stint 3 years ago and here we are holding the NBA MVP to an atrocious performance. He wants that ring soooooo bad.

    He completely held down the paint today. Hit extremely timely 3s in the first half too

    He deserves a ring. Get this man his ring. THIS YEAR

    Can’t believe Al owned Embiid so hard they give him a 100million contract, couldn’t use him, traded to OKC only for him to come back to Boston and continue owning Embiid. What an L franchise.

    Joel: “My Dad can beat up your Dad”

    Honestly Al should just cruise control next series. Rob needs to step up and match Bam’s energy (and illegal screens)

  7. Next series is going to be a fist fight so keep slugging daddy Al

    Sometimes I just pretend that Al Horford is my dad.

    Proud of you, pop.

    I saw Al’s dad at mothers day brunch this morning and knew it was a good omen

    Honest question, how would AL do against AD? AD Is soft as fuck but he can shoot from mid range. Has Al faced the hardest competition in Embid? If he stays at the level he’s on…we have a legitimate chance.

    Al has always done a great job of playoff defense on Embiid….I think you could make a case that’s why Philly signed him away in the first place…luckily he didn’t fit well next to Joel and worked his way back to Boston

    He never gave up even during a rough shooting slump and found other ways to contribute. We are lucky to have Al. His defense against the MVP was impressive

    If he can do this to Bam for the next series, we’ll have it in the bag

    Al Horford is Joel Embitch’s father

    Imagine having an entire 3 years to learn under Al Horford after he owned your ass for 2 straight years. Learning absolutely nothing in the first year and having your team trade his ass to OKC, only for him to go back to your rival and own your ass in the playoffs three years later as a 38 YO

    Visitor to this sub – if you guys beat the heat, do you prefer playing the nuggets or the lakers ?

    He won
