Horford has been playing injured and will not play tonight.

I noticed that his defense was very slow the other night.

Looking forward to finally seeing Robert Williams get some real minutes. He can defend one through five.

Horford hasn't been playing injured. His knee has just been sore. I think there is a big difference. This is just a test game, that's all.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Williams to get big minutes or any minutes in this game. Most likely Baynes, Theis and Semi will split Horford's minutes.

Nice that Robert got to play and played well. I hope he gets more minutes going forward. I think Horford needs to rest that knee for a while.

I am expecting a flurry of threads that he was the problem all along, now.   I don't think that but on this forum it is nigh inevitable.

Get well, Big Guy.

Will need our Defensive Anchor back healthy and ready to go.

I agree.  Actually I  think he's been a little slow defensively for a while now so he may have been playing at something below 100%

I agree. Let him rest. We have plenty of young guys who can play.

So the guy that has 20 blocks in the last 8 games, blocking 2+ shots every game for the last 8 games has been slow on defense? The guy with the 29th lowest defensive rating of players playing 25+ mpg has been slow on defense? We're you mentioning this anytime before this report came out that Horford's knee has been sore?

He’s not on injury report today
Hayward’s out (ankle soreness)
Rozier questionable (left knee soreness)
