I’m speaking in general - comparing him to other max guys
It worked for Boston because they have big contributors/future picks on rookie deals

Breh I'm a Celtics fan, and I always talked negatively about Horford cause of shyt like this
I don't like moral victories of where we are now. Can't just lean on "we gotta Game 7 though". We shoulda been in the Finals last night if this dude scored at least 15 points. Dude was non-existent on both ends of the floor

Ain't no moral victories, he's doing what he was signed to do
He had one bad game and you tryna act like he ain't been balling this year earning that contract.

The C's have been trash every road game. But they're here in large part because of his play this postseason. Other than LeBron, no other "star" has gotten this far without another "star" to compliment them* and Horford lost his complimenting "stars."
You nikkas is clowns. You shyt on the contract yet can't offer up what they should've done instead. Foh.

The rest of the Celtics been trash on the road cause they're role players or rookies. Horford is 32, a multiple time all star and has playoff experience, whats his excuse? Out of all the people to cape for, you're caping for Al Horford?

If they stood pat and did nothing that off-season (as you think they should've), those role players and rookies would be in Cancun.

So 16, 8 and 3 this postseason is worthy of a max deal?
Or is this "an intangibles & leadership" conversation?
I understand the principle behind what you're saying, but those non-stars have actually been more productive and impactful in a # of road games than Horford the "star" has been. You can't use that argument as if he's holding up his end of the bargain, because he's clearly not - him being a "star" in this context is simply a label and nothing more. His performance yesterday was inexcusable for someone who's supposed to be the leader of this team.

Yes, his performance is more than 3 statistical categories.

Ehh, yes I can because he's been doing exactly what's been expected of him. Nobody expects him to put up monster numbers, that's not his game.
Since others keep avoiding the question, I'll ask you two: since y'all think the Horford signing was such a bad one, who should they have signed?
Except he hasn't - unless, of course, you don't think too highly of him, to begin with.
It's not about him putting up "monster numbers", it's about putting his team in the best possible position of winning (not zoning out in the paint when he needs to crash the glass, not being passive on the offensive end when he needs to be a reliable frontcourt scoring option etc) and I don't see the sense in mentioning this when he can't even put up average numbers on the road.
I don't think it was a "bad" signing per se, I just believe he needs to play A LOT better - anyone trying to argue against that clearly hasn't been watching the games.

Yes he has, as evident by you nikkas being quiet as church mice up until this series. Now you're tryna act like he ain't been balling this post season. Posting his playoff averages as if those defined his impact in any round.
A couple bad games gave y'all confidence.....'Hot Take' season on the coli is so real
I'm out.
