There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

C.S. Lewis

From the article:
Quote
Al Horford, who is aging like a banana and even in his prime was the sort of guy who mostly needed scheme and ball movement to create his looks for him.
Um... What the ****? Horford's numbers are right around where they've always been and he's maybe the best creator on the roster right now, given how well he passes and orchestrates the offense from the block. He creates for others, he doesn't need others to create for him.

I'm also not sure what the point of writing that many words was when it all amounts to "The Celtics need another scorer" and then gives no deeper insights whatsoever.

Of course, I am not surprised Deadspin doesn't know what it's talking about.

Yeah, if anything Horford's presence has GREATLY helped our offense and hurt our defense.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.
