Love those 12/8/9 stat lines from Horford. Need more of that.

Once Hayward is back to form, I would love to see Horford and him run the offense as much as possible.

No reason Kyrie, Hayward, AND Horford can’t average 5 APG. Just need the others (specifically Tatum and Brown) to move without the ball. No reason they need the ball to work, the playmakers will find them and they will get easy looks. They iso and create more difficult shots than they need to take.

Three facilitators would be very tough to gameplan against. And the more shots we make, the better our defense is.

Games like yesterday show we really miss Horford. Things as a whole ran smoothly with him on the court (even on defense) but now it's just a mess. And with Baynes out too, ugh.

Hopefully he gets healthy though. To me health is the most important thing and hopefully we're as healthy as can be from March onwards.

It's not as long as baseball obviously but basketball is also a marathon, not just a sprint.

He's definitely the hardest to replace gear in the Celtics machine.

Was just about to make a thread like this. If not Kyrie, Horford is the most important player on this squad. He fills every hole, sometimes even scoring, and his play has a halo effect on the rest of the team.

Horford is the straw that stirs the drink on both offense and defense. He stretches out the offense and closes down the defense. He's a very valuable player.

Horford is our KG without the aggressive attitude.

yeah , he is the anchor to the team for guarding the paint and making huge plays from the 5 spot when it really counts . 

Baynes really struggles on offense and is abused by the quick 5 's . 

we look bad without Al for sure .

Baynes is still very solid off the bench and is capable of defending well (like he did on Embiid last year's playoffs). Problem is, we can get by without one of the two, but without BOTH Horford/Baynes... yeah that's a huge struggle. Our depth in the bigs department was never that great to begin with.

24 points and 7 rebounds tonight. He made some huge shots in the 2nd half when we really needed it. Kyrie is key in the closing moments but when Horford plays well it has an overall trickle down effect.
