Al Horford, 37 yrs old, came into game 4 and played a total of 33 minutes. He played 21 of the 24 second half minutes. That's a lot for manage minutes guy.
Now with Porzingis out for the remainder of this series and maybe the next one, his job falls on Horford, Kornet and Tillman.
IMO Horford can't handle the work load he had in game 4 again in game 5. He actually should rest. I am saying that not only did Porzingis get hurt but Horford managed minutes were impacted for future games.
Is Kornet and Tillman ready to step up and do the work while taking the minutes? For me that is the question. Kornet is off and on but he hasn't faxed the demand and Tillman has been very involved.
Joe M will get to add an additional workload for himself managing these three guys without burning out Horford.
It is about looking ahead to the next series.
