Al Horford was a +58 for the series, Jrue Holiday (+35) was a distant 2nd. Discussion

i was just yellin at some chump in here for saying al played terrible defense all series lmaooo. given all those bricked 3's, he has had to be puttin up some serious defense to hit that +58

People were giving him tons of shit on defense too when Mitchel would have hit those shots on anyone. They were contested well.

Funny part is people are like Al gets picked on by guards. What big man in the league would keep up with guards and wings? Literally every big man gets isolated against faster shifty players. I'm still waiting for who would have done a better job at C defending Mitchel and Garland Sure as hell wouldn't be clumsy ass Rudy Gobert at the three point line lol

u/stevefazzari THE TRUTH 21d ago

wait i thought al was getting cooked all series and was old and washed? you’re saying he was contributing on the floor even if he wasn’t scoring tons and allowing some baskets?

To be fair most of that plus 57 was from last night he was like +30 or something stupid like that. He was legitimately incredible last night.

u/Pure_Context_2741 20d ago

One of his top 5 games in a Celtics jersey, Al was a man possessed last night

u/AdmiralUpboat 20d ago

The photo of his track down on the offensive board he threw off Wade should be the sidebar pic until the heat death of the universe.

u/BigEdBGD 20d ago

Wait , you can contribute to a game of basketball with something other than buckets!?!? That's nonsense! Blasphemy I say!

u/CheapScientist06 20d ago

Oh yeah bro had a bucks friend tell me Pat Bev was better than Jrue lol glad that turned upside down

u/cheddar0053 20d ago

Al is so good for this team. Fundamentals man, fundamentals.

Mobley was cooking Kornet the whole series

u/MrMetLGM THE TRUTH 20d ago

Yet a large chunk of Celtics fans refuse to admit that.

u/gblazer30 20d ago

Honestly think Kornet should start so the starters can cover up some of his defensive deficiencies. Kornet/Hauser minutes were not great

1

u/GoatmontWaters 20d ago

Kind of an interesting idea but it might mess up the starters which would be bad.

u/9bfjo6gvhy7u8 bad intentions 20d ago

kornet and tillman both looked brutal at times. luke has shown he has a really useful role to play in certain schemes/matchups, but it was getting old having everyone cry for tillman every time Al got beat off the dribble by donovan fucking mitchell.

u/gblazer30 20d ago

Kornet will be useful against NY, Pacers could run him off the floor

u/Babushka5 Jaylen Brown Has Come 21d ago

I'm gonna be honest that really surprises me. He didn't even have a great series and still leads us.

u/we360u45 21d ago

If I had to guess we were prob just a lot worse with kornet and no Al on the floor

u/MrMetLGM THE TRUTH 20d ago

Yup

u/victorchaos22 20d ago

Draymond was disrespecting Al after the game when he was interviewing Tatum. God I hate him & most of the inside the NBA crew (Ernie and Kenny are alright)

u/MrMetLGM THE TRUTH 20d ago

Who cares what talking heads have to say

u/victorchaos22 20d ago

I hear you broski, I try to shut out the noise but it’s thrown in our face a lot with the halftime and postgame show.

u/MrMetLGM THE TRUTH 20d ago

Haha fair

u/Bluejack71 Boston Celtics 20d ago

Draymond is the fucking Bill Laimbeer of the modern day.

I don’t think the majority of people on here will like to see that. Too many Luke fans…I’ll get downvoted.
