Al Horford has been mediocre. He doesnt deserve his salary

[Tr1boy]

“Average Al”, my butt.

Average Al in the regular season

Exceptional Al in the playoffs

I guess not so bad

Al making me eat my words. I'm glad, he is playing exceptional

Playoff Al is the guy I like watching

I’ve made my share of mistakes and failed predictions, although, respectfully, failing to appreciate Al Horford’s role in both our offense and defense after getting to watch him play for a couple of seasons is just bizarre to me.

Did I make a “trading Rondo would be a mistake” thread? That one doesn’t sound like me, although I didn’t like the return we got.  I’ve absolutely hated my share of trades, though:  Pierce/KG to Nets (very wrong), IT to the Cavs (wrong, although I think we overpaid, and I’d still trade Kyrie for value), Perk to the Thunder (100% right, and I’ll believe this to my dying day).

And, what makes it a HOF thread is that the player stepped up and proved you spectacularly wrong. I’ve got my own Terry Rozier thread that has aged pretty poorly. Own it with a sense of pride.  The farther we go, the more iconic the thread seems.  People will remember this thread years from now.

I have had my share of being on the "wrong end"   

I hated the Perk trade and still don't get it.  Team went from "tough" to "softer" with one trade

Maybe AL read this thread and said F#$% Y#$  Triboy16

And you know what. GOOD!

Scoring 7 points or going 3 for 10 ... does not match his style/capabilities

It doesn't matter to me if this on HOF list. As long as he has "awaken" and plays exceptional so the team can move past the Cavs/take off that smirk off Lebron..... thats all that matters to me

Triboy, in your defense your Mickey thread, one in which you said he would be a multiple time all-star, was more HOF worthy.

or "Jakob Poeltl is an excellent prospect" HOF thread.   Sabonis says hi

[Roy H.]

Don’t get snippy, guys. We all miss in our analysis. There’s nothing legendary about simply being wrong. Most of those threads die out in the first page or two.

To be epic, a thread needs staying power.

Probably not, but you know some of these guys read blogs / twitter / instagram.  Durant definitely does, haha.

Happy you are willing to admit your mistake, but Dedmon? Yikes.

You think Dedmon is horrid ?  He is actually a pretty good center

I guess you don't remember him playing well against the Celts this season

But Al is playing very well right now.  And without Kyrie.  Knowing that he will be the "point" forward and getting calls underneath the basket to make important buckets etc.  (instead of Kyrie getting most of the calls)  ... has energized his game

I agree. I actually like Dedmon, but I don't think they are in the same league of player. Dedmon has been, at his best, a productive backup on a playoff team. Even at his worst, Horford is a starter on a playoff team due to his IQ and the little things he does consistently.
