Al Horford injury

David Aldridge: Just got a brief text from Al Horford, who says he's "probably not" going to be back for the playoffs this year. That truly stinks. Twitter @daldridgetnt -

that's because the Hawks won't be in the playoffs

thats an awfully big assumption considering how bad the rest of the east is

Have you seen Atlantas roster?

have you seen Toronto's??  theyre 4th in the east right now.  Charlotte is 5th

Have you forgotten that Horford missed practically all of the 2012 season with the same injury and Atlanta still made the playoffs, in a stronger Eastern Conf and weaker roster.

I don't see how they're stronger now than in 2011-2012. The east is certainly weaker though.

I agree, a core group including Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague is certainly better than the Millsap/Teague/Korver combo they're sporting right now.
