Al Horford has been mediocre. He doesnt deserve his salary

[gouki88]

Even when he has a terrible game, he comes through when it matters (miss FT aside).

Keep in mind that Embiid was 10-for-26. Horford did his job.

He almost always does. Such a reliable player

Not to knock Al after an incredible finish but a lot of that was Baynes.

The two have been great on Embiid in the post. When Philly kicks it into him, I feel like it's a win for that possession. He gets his, but it's inefficient.

Al should go to a Boston strip club, make it rain, and leave in like 3 seconds.

Have you seen his wife? If I'm Al, I'm not going anywhere near a strip club, even if it's for comedy.

Bring her along

Some of it, sure, but Baynes only played 23 minutes.  Al did his job on Embiid.  I have a hard time calling Al's game in any way sub-par, let alone terrible.

[bellerephon]

And he scored four big points at the end of OT and got the big steal. He was the definition of clutch tonight.

To add to that:

* 2 steals
* 3 blocks
* 4 "screen assists"
* 2 deflections
* 1 loose ball recovered
* 7 box outs
* 12 contested 2PT FGAs
* 5 contested 3PT FGAs

Horford's 17 contested shots were by far the best on the team; Baynes was second with 10.  Horford also led in screen assists, blocks, steals and box outs.

I think it's time to change the name of this thread to "Whoops, I [Messed] Up" and close it.

Al stole the ball, stole the thread and stole what little credibility the OP ever had.   

[PhoSita]

I came here to post a hysterical laughter gif at the people who ever thought Horford wasn't hugely valuable, but I decided that at this point it's so obvious that they're wrong and always have been, it just seems mean and small to keep piling on.

Horford has been HUGE...

He is holding his own against perhaps the best Center out there.

Where do you get those stats?

NBA.com box scores.  There's an option for the "hustle" box score.

Awesome. TP to you.
