I don't understand the need to make fun of people's optimism on a fan site to feel superior about people's hopes getting dashed, seems petty and douchy.
Its amazing how statistically similar Horford and Anderson are actually. Too bad Anderson is useless defensively or as an interior big. I actually think the Celtics overpaid more than the Rockets did, though. Horford is 30.
horford is not a blaring liability defensively at the end of close games, so you can still leave him on the floor. anderson's prior injuries look to be more likely to resurface compared to horford's, too.
Your post tastes exactly the same as someone that just got dumped by his GF and then went to her Facebook to leave some comments.
I am in no way saying Anderson is better than Horford it was more a comment on Horford generally. Just think he's a pretty overrated bleh player for $28 million a year. He strikes me as a an upgraded version of the bigs they have. Guys that don't really excel anywhere but do a little of everything well. If he can defend, and age gracefully, he'll surely be a solid signing for them. But they don't strike me as all that much better than the Hawks themselves were.
Horford should be thinking The road to the EC Finals is easier than the road to the WC with the Rockets team
Lol this. This has been one wacky off season where Al Horford and Mike Conley are the big fish. Why the hell would Durant leave playing with a top 5 player and All NBA 1st Teamer to go play with a 30 year old Al Horford and Thomas.
Houston didn't stand a chance. lol : <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Celtics fans, be proud of yourselves. You're one the of the reasons Al Horford chose Boston.

Tito Horford to Boston Globe: "There wasn’t as much motivation for him(Al) when he saw all the empty seats when they were winning" Jul 2, 2016, 9:23 PM
Let's not kid ourselves here, prior to his signing with the Celtics people on clutchfans are claiming Horford is a vastly underrated player and aa real difference maker
