Al Horford to miss the next 3-4 months with a torn pectoral

Ah, so it is possible for my sports fanhood to currently suck harder.

Who steps in to take his place?

[Rudi]

ZAZA

[Kuzzy Powers]

Vlad Rad gonna see some nice numbers in his absence.

Zaza, Ivan Johnson and Vlad Rad will probably use those minutes, unless we are playing Orlando in which case Jason Collins will start. This absolutely murders our team defense though.

Oh this will be fun.

Why is Zaza's head so big? Last year when he headbutt Jason Richardson in the playoffs I really felt bad for Richardson.

So far the team is playing much better than I expected in Al's absence. 7-2 without him, 14-6 overall.

I wasn't even sure if we'd make the playoffs when he went down, but at this rate I'm drinking the kool aid. The rest of the team is stepping up and expanding their roles, which will hopefully make us that much better when/if Horf rejoins us in April or May. This team could make a nice little run if he can come back healthy for round 1.
