Horford made 5 of 7 3-pointers right after his “elite shooter” line and is 5 for 26 since.

I think tomorrow night they need to put White back into the starting lineup, with Grant and Rob coming off the bench. The double big lineup was not it yesterday. Get more shooting in the lineup and let Al focus more on defense.
Small sample gotcha games are dumb
Horford’s shooting struggles hasn’t nearly been brought up enough but he is absolutely killing us. Man is missing wide open look after wide-open look. If Al doesn’t have his 3 we are in serious trouble. Ever since that fucking awful 3 he took vs the Hawks that looked so bad, you could tell he just doesn’t have his rhythm anymore.
10 for 33, slightly below his standards. Sheesh I bet he figures it out and returns to close to average
Rob and al were together for a total of 9 minutes iirc. Hard to really say it was a fail
Start with rob close with grant is the adjustment needed
Need more grant. He can hit shots
Someone call him a bad shooter to erase all the bad juju
He’s so frustrating. His screens are some of the softest I’ve ever seen from any big, he’s bricking threes badly, he gets offensive rebounds and instead of going straight back up and taking the easy 2 points he kicks it out to someone that is smothered. He’s been food defensively too, game 7 aside, which just makes it even more annoying cause we know he’s capable of being great at that end.
He really should be taking it to the hoop. Especially when he’s got guys like Strus switched on to him. He’s gotten too used to being a spot up shooter that he ignores the paint.
People make a big fuss about Joe’s timeouts and the star’s struggles. But everything comes down to role players hitting their open shots. There is nothing more deflating than making the right play, missing and open shot, then seeing the other team hit their shots.
We seem to lose every game Horford flexes on the opponent 😓

That line wasn’t the problem is was the post dunk shimmy that fucked his game.
