I'm not going to be too hard on Horford - he has been a stabilizing force for our young team - but it's unfortunate that he (along with everybody but Tatum) wilted under the pressure of Lebron once again. The dude only went 1-5 in the 2nd half and that was on a dunk. We needed more from him, we needed a coach on the floor, and he came up empty when we needed him most.
It will be interesting to see this team fully healthy. I've always thought Hayward could take over the Horford role pretty seamlessly. Of course I'd like to see everyone on this roster return next year for a real shot at a championship, but I'd rather Horford's huge contract not prevent us from re-signing players to fair contracts in the future.
