He has really been uninspiring. Not only is his shot not falling, but he is perhaps even more passive this season, somehow, and his rebounding is awful. He also looks slower, which kills us defensively. 

Wait and trade for AD!

Well, given that he has been blowing wide open looks that he was nailing the last few years (similar to everyone else on the team), I'm still hoping this is just an aberration and not him slowing down.

I certainly think low team morale due to this slow start is contributing to this lack of energy and quality play.

He is the most frustrating out of the entire team. Constant bricks. When he gets open looks he passes them up. I’ve never seen somebody pass up so many open looks, he’s not passing for better shots ether he’s passing a wide open look for a semi closed out look. Brad needs to rip into his ass in film. Be aggressive shoot your freaking shot.

Not in the regular season as long as he keeps performing in the playoffs.

Never forget last year’s Horford is mediocre CB thread...  :)

Not just Al...

Im more worried about Hayward.... Averaging barely 10 ppg this season and just about 7 ppg in the road trip on just 10 attempts /game.....where on earth is the Hayward we all know.

OK im not expecting Hayward the all start, but atleast give us GH that can do better than 8ppg.

pathetic waste of a max contract..both him and Al are toast.

And whats worst is Kyrie will opt out if this team continues to spiral out of contention.

The problem is greater than Al.  Morris is the only player that hasn't disappointed this season.

First of all it's ALL-STAR not All-start.

Okay now, Hayward's numbers are similar to PG's when he came back from a similar injury. Anyone who is expecting anything better than right now is unrealistic. If he is going to show huge improvement, it will be by all-star break. All star form will probably come earliest by playoffs, most likely by next year. About his contract, it isn't anyone's fault that he got injured (except maybe Jae Crowder).

Horford is struggling right now, and is probably the reason why we are losing. We play better when he plays well, this is why even when guys got injured we were winning. With that said, this is Al's 3rd year with the team. Anyone who doesn't remember similar streaks of bad games from Horford every year he was with us might not be a real fan at all. And every time the playoffs came he stepped up.

Lopez scored a lot from the outside. Also, remember we got a Center like the one you wanted, who rebounds and score on the inside. He was unplayable in the playoffs. No thanks.

Joakim Noah... ?  He should be healthy.  Just as a backup.

Poor shooting and an attitude that we are better than what we are is the real problem....
