Can't believe the T'Wolves haven't beat us since 2005 :heh:

They must mean in Boston, cause we lost to them last year in Minnesota

Anyway, they announced during the game that Yabusele's season is over in China and he could play for the Red Claws for their last stretch of the season once his ankle heals. I wouldn't even be mad if he took Mickey's roster spot, but I'd imagine they want to keep that extra year of control

I've heard nothing but good things about him (I've only seen a few youtube vids). However, Mickey's expendable and if Yabusele can contribute more than him, then surely he's ready

I still really don't know what to make of the pick. I'm a lot more excited for Zizic to come over

Mickey just shrinks every time he gets the opportunity. Great in summer league, great in the D-League, great in garbage time. But when he has to play real minutes he never produces

Since January 25, the Celtics are 9-0 in contests in which Horford garners at least six assists. Horford opens up the Boston offense into a machine capable of forcing defenders to rotate constantly with consistent ball movement. More often than not, when Horford is on the floor, an open look is obtainable...Although he has not been as dominant of a rebounding option as Boston originally hoped with an underwhelming 11.3 total rebound percentage, when Horford becomes a threat on the boards, the Celtics are a different animal defensively. This allows positive defensive possessions to conclude with the opposition receiving just one shot attempt, keeping the legs of suffocating defenders such as Bradley and Marcus Smart fresh.

Al Horford Is A Consistent Triple-Double Threat

I still believe we have yet to see Horford at his best for us.

This is really true. I always think that he's about to be viable, then it never materializes in real action.
