In two games against the mighty Boston Celtics we have found out that rookie power forward Al Horford is great talent and a future perennial All-Star, but he doesn't have the chops to cut it as a magician. Horford scored nine points and grabbed nine rebounds, with three assists in a 19-point shellacking at the hands of the once again revitalized and powerful Shamrocks from Beantown. Horford, the only consistent player for the Atlanta Hawks, has carried much of the weight in Atlanta's first playoff series in nine years, but the Dominican-born player can only do so much for the Hawks. The series moves to Atlanta for game three on Saturday, where the Hawks will try to overcome the stifling defense of NBA Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnet and the Leprechauns from the Hub. From the looks of it Horford had better work on his magic skills to come up with a victory or expect to see him shortly at a beach near you.
