There was an article I read today that was positing this.I mean, having a 2/3/4/5 of AB, Jaylen, Jae, and Amir might make a bit more sense defensively than having Al at the 4. Sure, we're small and that hurts, but it's not like Al's presence would've helped that much on the boards anyways.No, we are not. Al in that lineup instead of Amir is superior.Agreed. The problem isnt Al, it's that Amir and Al are a bad combo

The problem isnt Al, it's that Amir and Al are a bad comboAl and Amir are +7.7 per 100 possessions when on the court. No player has a better net rating when paired with Horford. There might be some noise in there, of course, but the data doesn't show that they are a bad combo.
AB should never attempt alley-oop passes.
Good take by Rozier. I still wonder why he never dunks, though. He's more than capable of it.
