    I feel that Horford’s body condition is alright. He runs and jumps like he’s 5 years younger than his actual age. However, he can’t find his shooting back anymore. I noticed that he might change his release speed a little bit which might be the reason his shots not falling.

      I’m withholding judgment for now. We’ve seen Horford do this before.

      Here’s his 3P% for the first 10 games of 2021 vs the first 9 games of this season:

      2021-22 2023-24
      0% from deep in 4 games. 0% from deep in 4 games.
      16.7% from deep in 2 games. 16.7% from deep in 1 game.
      28.6% from deep in 1 game. 25.0% in 1 game.
      23.9% average over all 10 games. 23.1% average over all 9 games.

      It’s almost a mirror performance. He just needs to go 1/6 (16.7%) in this next game.

      People were talking about him being washed, but he turned out fine. As you’ve said, he’s still moving pretty well out there.
