Horford's words at the end of Game 5

I'll never forget this from 2008 and probably why I hate Horford so much..

Shows why Florida was a winner. Horford and Noah both had heart from day 1. I respect the guys who taunt the top players instead of just taunting scrubs (unless the taunters are scrubs who are over-excited by the first good play of their career). I like the punch a bully in the face mentality.

Also makes it taste sweeter when we knock them out of the playoffs.

They won by 1 point and we failed to properly execute a couple late game plays.

We also failed to make capable free throws and they thought it was an easy game?

I think by "making the game easy", he was trying to suggest that they put effort in the game to make the little things in defense, or in rebounding, easier for themselves.

Agree 100%. Making the game of basketball easy is different from making a matchup easy.

Brandon needs to up his game.  I don't think he's at the level of either Horford or Smith, but in the next game he's got to show up stronger than he has so far.

Needs to start hitting those open jumpers like in the regular season.

Why is this a discussion of any kind, between any group of people in any location in the world?

People....

Not concerned with Horford's meaningless words, in the least.

After tomorrow night, ATL will be an afterthought. And Horford can get more time to heal - his body after his unfortunate injury - and his mind - after BOS takes care of business tomorrow.



ATL will join DAL and ORL on Charles Barkley's "Gone Fishing" skits. And I'm sure Horford and Co will enjoy their time on the water.

Does this topic offend your sensibilities more than most others around here?  If so, why?

It's not like KG hasn't said worse.  In fact, he probably said worse last night.  

I hate Horford as a Celtic fan, but objectively he didn't do what KG doesn't do (and what Larry Bird didn't do) on a nightly basis.

Meh... Worse is said in my old man rec league.
