Do you consider steve adams soft?
He only averages 7.7 rebounds. Last year was 6.7

He'd easily average over 10 if it wasnt for Russ , so no i dont consider Adams soft, the circumstances are different. Celtics actually need horfords rebounding

Kd and serge are gone too

lol the irony in your post
 
if you actually read what I said, rather than looking at a box score -- Horford is never put in a position for rebounding. Boston in general does not really focus that much on rebounding, because Brad rather has us limit transition defensively or fly on offense.
 
He's not "soft" (dumb terminology, anyways) because he puts up low rebounding numbers. His duties on the court are to focus on spreading the court offensively, and weakside help defensively. And its pretty fucking obvious too if you bothered to actually watch a game

 

[Paulius]

You can throw out any excuse you want about flying offensively , but someone still has to get the rebounds. 6.7 rebounds for a 7 foot center is pretty hilarious, thats all.

Wouldnt even call him a big man. More of a stretch four kinda guy who doesnt like to bang in the paint and just want to take those little jumpshots and threes.

 

[bosoxlover12]

He has the 4th best assist% among big men in the league (Draymond, Jokic, and Blake ahead of him) and has a block% on par with Whiteside and Porzingis

 

[bosoxlover12]

Is Kristaps soft? He puts up nearly the same advanced stats as Horford

 

[Paulius]

Kristaps is soft. A soft "big man" , yes

 

[Paulius]

Cousins isnt a soft big man. True big man

 

[Paulius]

Lamarcus aldridge is soft

 

[Mexi]

Kristaps isnt soft smh

bucks are literally a lock for the ECF

ive said some dumb shit about boston over the past few years, with you and cc calling me out on it when it happens

that has not happened once this season really. i have been hardly homeristic about this current celtics squad because i understand our limitations

but to be called out as the biggest homer by a guy who thinks Giannis is a Top 5 player in the league is really irony at its finest

 

[Pugz]

the pistons are terrible.

Buzzy said Justise Winslow was a good as LeBron before, i saw it.
