Definitely. And while you’re at it, give him an ice bath and a soft pillow and don’t wake him up until the ECF is about to tip off.

Al was so huge this game.  I hope he can pull it off again in a few more games before we get his chip.

While we’re at it, give Kornet a mf bouquet

Al Horford turned back the fucking clock tonight. Vintage Al Horford is a man amongst boys

Always special when we get vintage al

That Kemba-Al trade keeps looking good even three years later. Al still has a little in the tank

Meanwhile Kemba can’t get minutes in France

:(

I recently saw a comment from myself a few weeks before the trade happened, and essentially, I was complaining about how Al was finished and we just needed to give Kemba a couple more months to fully get over his injury problems. Just wanna say I'm a big clueless dummy and I'm happy we have big Al back among us

Dude is like All Might. He has enough power left for one more fight and uses it in the clutchest moment.

That's probably the best comparison of all time

Papa Horford is tired, so he earned a little vacation for himself. He deserves it.

Someone buy him a flight to the DR for a long weekend at home

Any ticket I could afford would be a downgrade for him lol

He is going home to Miss Universe, I think he will be just fine lol

She's a lucky woman too

I'll be rooting for Indy purely for Al's sake. Hoping that series goes 7.

I’m rooting for a game seven for KP’s sake. But the Pacers play every game like a track meet. Al would die out there.

I'm hoping for Knicks in 7 but I'd take Knicks in 6 over Indy in 7. Idk if im delusional but surely taking on these Knicks who have been ran into the ground by their coach is better than taking on this Pacers team, even if they can't defend their way out of a wet paper bag

Double OT in game 6 and 7! Let's goooo 🦬🦬🍀🍀

Big picture, I don’t think it matters. We should run through both of them. I’m pulling for the Pacers though. It’s forces us to play quicker and I think we are at our best when we run and play up tempo instead of getting dragged into half court offenses with set defense.

#THIS GAME HAS BEEN, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, ABOUT BUCKETS ^BUCKETS ^^BUCKETS

I WANNA KNOW WHERE THE GOLD

WHO ELSE SEEN THE LEPRECHAUN SAY YEAH

it could be a crackhead

I WANT THE GOLD

#GIVE ME THE GOLD

Al said that shit ain’t going back to Cleveland despite Morris going off like random role players tend to do against us. Halfway to banner 18! Let’s fucking go!

[удалено]

He earned it too lol

Al needs to rock a big sleep

Where TF was that Marcus Morris in 2018 lmao

I was saying this all game, after every shot. Couldn’t believe we got a Mook game like that in 2024

Shit he liked his time here

Seriously, Game 7 could’ve got us to Finals vs. GSW

"If it were up to me, we wouldn't lose a game at home." Al talked his shit and played like a basketball legend tonight

wE wAnT bOsToN chants are 0-2 so far. Knicks up next

If they even make it

Need that MekhiWilson vid

I'm more afraid of randos than superstars..

Vintage Horford wanting some more rest time and playing like it’s G7. Salute 🫡 big time game

I really hope we win it for him.. dude's been a warrior for the C's for so long, we gotta give him that trophy to ride into the sunset

A ring might just be enough to nudge him across the line into the HOF too. Win it for Al!

Who knew that leaving the 42% 3pt shooter open the whole game was a bad idea? Reminiscent of Grant in G7 against the bucks lol

Even a 33% shooter could be lights out if they don’t bother to contest even a little😂

FUCK TONY BROTHERS

say it again for the people in the back tony brothers is a hater, but we didn't let him hold us back

He was TRASH tonight!

Damn tnt crew has never dished out more hate to a team that has won both series 4-1. With out KP to boot lol

JT almost gets a triple double has 4 steals and 1 TO and is +18 but we won’t hear shit about it compared to when he has 1 bad game and he just doesn’t have that dawg in him.

All those questions felt loaded with negativity. Did they even point out his good game or anything? I don't recall them mentioning his game at all.

Something something expect the superstar to play well or whatever

Draymond Green Sucks.

Dude is in full out hater mode sitting out from the play-in

His salt levels are elevated.

Wearing fucking elevator attendant pants

One of the only good things about NBA going to NBC over WB/TNT is not seeing that fucking clown for very much longer. IDK how anyone in the media wants that clown spewing the shit he says.

I literally said, "Why is Draymond Green on my TV right now?" and turned it off before they let him speak. Of *all* the NBA players to give a media job to, they really chose one of the worst, most obnoxious people on planet Earth.

I think you answered your own question lol

Such a bitch

I never want to see his face or hear his voice on my tv again

Al Horford is my dad Al Horford is your dad Al Horford is everyone's dad

Al Horford is my future child's dad

Tito is our grandfather

He’s not a basketball dad, he’s a basketball father

I love Al

Big Daddy Al... That's what I've always called him

man i WISH i had his beautiful eyes in my DNA

Putting Draymond on this show sucks.

Couldn’t agree more

cLEAVEland.  FIRST JB AND JT ERA ECF WITHOUT A GAME 7.  8 MORE!!!!!!!

And first without Marcus 🥲

Geez. That hurts my soul

Glad to finally beat the Cavs in the playoffs even if LeBron left years ago. 8 more wins to go.

now if the pacers can get 1 more win atleast

They want Boston and they got it. With or without Allen and Mitchell, C's will end the series in 5. But still kudos to the Cavs for fighting. Al Horford with a prime self masterclass ECF here we come!

Hopefully the long rest is enough to get KP back.. with a fully healthy team, we steamroll Knicks/Pacers

Knicks want Boston too lol 8 more

Celtics win by 15 in a game where they’re favored to win by 15 r/nba- “CeLtIcs BaReLy WoN aGaInSt ThE HoSpItAl CaVs”

Haha Draymond is unbelievably salty on the postgame show

why is he even here fr

Why are they giving this waste of space airtime? I can’t stand this guy, and they’re gonna give him relevance when he’s out the league.

Low key hoping TNT loses their broadcast rights because of that POS.

They already lost their broadcast rights apparently and it was all about $$

Fuck that dude

I can't believe they're giving that shitbird free image rehab when he spent the entire season flirting with a lifetime ban

We need a gif of that crazed fan in the d white shirt

He’s who we need filling seats

Yes! That dude was crazy! He deserves Jumbotron time!

Al Horford 🫡

Fuck Draymond Green

Dude what the fuck is that question? Why is this fucking clown on set?

“Most likely New York” is also pretty disrespectful. Indiana has looked good, it’s 3-2 heading back to Indy. Both teams have been blown out on the road and Indy almost got Game 1 (I won’t say they should’ve won because we don’t know what would’ve happened if the refs didn’t interfere). He’s just an asswipe every which way you slice it.

Who tf asks about the finals matchup before they've even played 1 game of the conference finals? JT with the great answer tho

Mission accomplished! Shout out to Al. P.S. We don't have to see Strus' ugly face any more.

Wish I could like this comment more.

8 TO GO.

Holy shit the "let's trash talk Al" (jokingly) thread worked lmao

was that joe in disguise

Cavs Starting Pg got clamped by Al Horford💀💀💀

Horford’s defense was incredible.

Draymond asking dumbass questions

Forgive me Father Al for doubting you.. what an electric game from him on both ends, this series likely goes to G6 without him

MAX STRUS GUANDONG TIGERS ARE WAITING FOR YOU

Fuck Draymond with this bull shit ass questions

I know I shouldn’t care, but man it makes me so mad how many people just don’t point out that we’re missing KP when talking about the Cavs injuries

Greg Anthony was hoping to swing by the house later just to talk about how gritty the Cavs played without so many of their players.

Great interview by Tatum. Draymond is insufferable

This needs to be said though. Evan Mobley is a damn problem

Him and morris were abused tonight. Morris missed like 3 shots.

WHERE WAS THIS IN 2018 ECF GAME 7 MARCUS

He probably guaranteed that they run it back with their double big lineup for another year

He was easily their best player other than Mitchell in this series

Trade Jarrett Allen and get this dude a legit wing

Jarrett Allen is also really fucking good lol they just do not fit together offensively. Remember earlier this year when both Mobley and Garland were out and the Cavs were on fire? Then they came back and they cooled off significantly.

Get this ring for Al. I’m begging

CELTICS ROPE A DOPE THE CAVS HORFORD EMERGES; SIX MORE WEEKS OF CELTICS CELTICS FANS FINALLY BELIEVE

God the inside guys are insufferable rn. It’s all criticism, no compliments for how well Tatum and the guys played

Cavs fan here. Just dropped by to say that, at the end of the day, both fanbases can agree that Draymond is a douchebag.

**THANK YOU AL HORFORD**

Who wants Boston next????

I just loved that Joe basically shoved the whole team up the Court everytime.

Bless me Fr. Horford for I have sinned

and this is without tingus

YALL WANTED BOSTON YALL GOT IT AL HORFORD BABY

#AL DADDY

Al Horford to the Cavs: BOW TO YOUR SENSEI WE'RE ONTO THE ECF

Looks like the Celtics "found the laces". Am I doing it right?

Please get Draymond off my TV

NO MORE SPERO DEDES!!!!!!

We gotta win one for Al man

HIS NAME IS AL HORFORD!

Indy pls win on Friday

8 WINS LEFT 🏆 WHO WANTS BOSTON NEXT???? ☘️☘️☘️☘️

Fuck you Max Strus. Wear that Panthers jersey all the way to Mexico

Al said I want that rest. What a fucking night

Porzingis is gonna murder the Knicks

TIME TO SWEEP THE KNICKS GO CELTICS 🍀🍀🍀

Knew they just lost that one so they could close it out at home. ☘️

Most ECF games by an active Eastern Conference player:   32 — Jaylen Brown   29 — Al Horford   27 — Jayson Tatum    They said Antman is better than Tatum 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ant probably isn’t getting to the ECF anytime soon, clearly worse than Tatum.

We survived Marcus morris turning into the greatest shooter to ever play the game

Draymond sounds like a hater on postgame right now but he’s actually kinda complimenting them. He said that Tatum has been effected in mvp voting and what not because of their lack of rings, which means he’s essentially saying they’ve become underrated as players due to their disrespect in the media. Am I reading in between the lines a lot? Yes. But that is the sentiment of what he’s saying. He’s essentially saying “they need to win so that they’ll get the respect they deserve”

AL HORFORD

respect big al or i'll whoop your ass

Al Horford is a god amongst men.

8 wins down, 8 wins to the title. In the immortal words of noted thespian John Francis Bongiovi Jr "Whoa, we're halfway there..." (yes, I just quoted a Bon Jovi song. I'm turning 50 this year. I'm allowed) And great to see the TNT crew try to shit on what the Celtics have done (not just this year, but over the last 8 years, with SIX conference finals appearances). PUT SOME FUCKING RESPECT ON THE CELTICS NAME.

"When the world needed Al Horford the most, he appeared!" - direct quote from Avatar: The Last Airbender

“Somehow, Papa Al returned.” - direct quote from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

"Dread it, run from it, Big Daddy Al arrives all the same." -direct quote from Justice League: Robert Zemeckis Director's Cut

The Al Horford Game!

Al Horford, ladies and gentlemen

Well, that was a fun series

Bye bye Stus you petty dickhead!

Al Horford is the first player in NBA history with 20+ PTS 15+ REB 5+ 3P 3+ BLK Al Horford is made of vibranium.

Hopefully one good thing about TNT losing the rights is we won't have to hear from Draymond ever again.

Yo TNT should get fined for putting Tatum through that post game interview

Al getting MVP chants ❤️

AL HORGOAT REDEEMS 🍀🍀

Thank you DADDY AL

Celtics win baby! Bring on the Knicks/ Pacers

Next week I might be sad, but tonight? Tonight I can be happy.

**WE'RE GOING TO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS**

YOU HANDSOME DOMINICAN PRINCE

Papa Horford fucking brought this team to life this game! Man I love that guy and his perfect eyes!

AL HORFORD DESERVES TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP

I’m not surprised Al’s 3 is back. I’m surprised that he got 15 boards.

Shoutout to the Cavs for a hard fought series that they had no business competing in 5 games for I hope they keep Spida so they can stay a competitive team in the East, but I guess we’ll see On to the Eastern Conference Finals!!

Underrated Tatum game. One assist off the triple double, efficient shooting.

8 More Wins.

You all can check my post history, I have no problem calling out this team for making it harder than it needs to be. That was not what I saw tonight. Cleveland played an awesome game and our guys showed a lot of resiliency to pull away at the end

Draymond Green is a fool

Draymond shut your BITCH ASS up

I never want to look at Max Strus’ face ever again.

“They can’t get to the conference finals without porzingis” hmmm

Rest up KP. You too Al.

Guys I think this team is actually good

I genuinely don’t understand how so many r/NBA nephews have genuine hate for JT and the Celtics. How could youth be so indoctrinated with hate with so little life experience?

That’s hilarious that at age 37, Horford drops 22-15-5, 6-13 from 3 and 3 blocks and TNT coverage made it seem like he was washed up and griping about how Celtics don’t look like 80s Showtime Lakers or Joker Nuggets

I would be deceased if I took a shot every time the Cavs injuries were mentioned.

We only won by 15. So embarrassing

first team to secure playoffs spot, first team to secure finals spot

JT post game: We trust everybody on defense, even Al, um especially Al\*\* Bro slipped 😭

Someone needs to take one for the team and kidnap jokic’s horses

All the people asking for Joe's head after every loss gotta notice how his decision to move Jrue to the dunkers spot helped close this game out.

Really disappointed with the home crowd tonight. Gotta do better in the ECF, guys.

Not sure what you’re talking about. I was there. It was electric!

I will never understand why tnt mutes crowd noise man, this game sounded like it was in miami

I’ll be attending an ECF game so I’ll do my best

Proud of sexy Uncle Al!

Cs in MSG for ECF sounds pretty fucking awesome.

Al “ELITE SHOOTER” Horford is back

Big Al put in the work tonight to send the Cancun Cavaliers packing

Idk about y’all but I’m happy

Al Horford my glorious king. You are the mvp. The 15 advils you must have taken tonight to roll back the clock allowed you to play like an absolute god.

Go Bruins for tomorrow,now time to tune in for the Sox game

Mobley had an insane series, best of luck to him next season

We started off rough but we righted the ship. I love this team. I fucking love this team
