White and Porzingis are out so that means this may not be easy given how the last contest went. Stay winning.
He had an injury that stopped him from being able to shoot them, but I’d love to see him take one lol.Kornet hits his 1st 3 of the season today.
Was that why? I've assumed that it was a decision that he (or his trainers, or his teams) had made, that it was more valuable to have him in the dunkers spot for easy lobs and offensive rebounds than to have him sitting around the perimeter hitting 35% (at best) on wide open 3's.He had an injury that stopped him from being able to shoot them, but I’d love to see him take one lol.
I’m sure there was more to it than just the injury, but that was the short answer he gave Bobby Manning once.Was that why?

Our own Bobby Manning actually asked Luke directly about his early career. He spoke about some injuries he had earlier in his career and the impact that they had on what he’s focused on.
“The time in Chicago was definitely very difficult, especially because it seemed like all your abilities, it’s like, alright what’s going on? You didn’t even know what was happening, but I think that in a lot of ways was great because it helped me be able to accept a certain role that I had that was different than what I’d done a lot in a lot of my career and be able to improve in that, and I think that’s actually become useful here in Boston, helping as a screener, roller, offensive rebounder and all that stuff. If it wasn’t for my injuries, I never would’ve taken the time to actually improve and address those things. At the time I wasn’t grateful for it, but I think now I’m appreciative. It was definitely very difficult and hard and some dark days.”
I'm guessing he's not happy with how he's been playing lately, and is trying to shoot his way out of it. I'm fine with that, as long as he has tomorrow off.I am gonna be at the not in nova arena soon. mixed feelings on whether I want JT to continue to build his MVP case today. Or is there some other reason he should be playing?
Just getting warmed up.Every time I hear anyone talk about Horford "turning back the clock" after he hits a 3, I can't help but laugh. I absolutely get the sentiment, but Al didn't become a 3 point shooter until he was 29, his last year in Atlanta. He's shot better over the last 2 years (since the 2022 playoffs) than at any other point in his career. When exactly is he turning back the clock too?
Anna?There’s this woman behind me in the stands in a Horford jersey who has been screaming at the top of her lungs every time Al touches the ball and it’s honestly impressive at this point.
