Who knows if Horford’s spark would have reignited as a 36-year-old if he hadn’t made it back to Boston? When his former coach Brad Stevens took over the Celtics’ front office and traded Kemba Walker and the 16th pick in the draft to bring Horford back, it felt like the whole family was returning home. “We as a family were rejoicing because that was the best decision he made, coming back to the Celtics,” said Tito, who spent three seasons in the NBA. “We know that we love the people in the Boston area; we love everything about Boston. The way they receive him makes us even happier. So for him coming back to Boston, everybody in the family (was) excited and happy.” – via Jared Weiss @ The Athletic Brad Stevens, Draft, Social Media, Trade, Al Horford, Kemba Walker, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers

So when he returned to Boston and eventually became a vital cog in a finals-bound machine, the only people who weren’t surprised were the ones with him on the journey. “We expected it,” younger brother Josh Horford said. “We were watching all his games last year in OKC, and he was still the same Al. But I get it, OKC’s a smaller market; people weren’t watching as much. But he’s the same Al.” – via Jared Weiss @ The Athletic Al Horford, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder

The real reason is Green believes he is winning the mental game with the opposing fans fixated on him. “Because you’re in their head,” Draymond Green said. “It’s all how you look at it. They’re going to spend all their time focused on me, then clearly, you’re living rent-free in their head. It’s all in their head.” – via Marc J.

Green also said that he has dealt with worse than the Celtics fans in the past. Without offering details, Green said the crowd that was toughest on him were Cleveland Cavaliers fans in Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Warriors played against LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018. Cleveland fans also booed Green and Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry during the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. “I really don’t pay attention to what they say,” Green said. “But the loudness of it … I haven’t heard it louder than in Cleveland. … “Cleveland was way louder and [the fans] also say something. Cleveland people are more reckless and ruthless.” – via Marc J.
