dalamchops Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) He'll play game 3... he's the toughest player on the hawks team. Something he doesn't get enough credit for. Edited May 2, 2012 by dalamchops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how bad the sprain is, I think he could be back. ( i have a pretty good background on this being an exercise physiologist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful GM 3, probable GM 4 vs. BOS MC Being that the Hawks have some of the best specialist out there, Josh should easily be ready for Game 4, however I am not sure about game three.

Admin Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Interesting how people are acting like Horford has been medically cleared to play and recommended to play by the team and his trainers and putting this all on Al like it's completely his decision to play or not.

Admin Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I thought the gynecologist doctors cleared him for round one. Tacky cheap shot but whatever... Horford was cleared for contact but I have not seen any report where he's cleared to return to play. Horford said that he doesn't have his full range of motion and that he can't hold his arms up to defend for long because there's no strength. He's also been out 3 months so he has no conditioning, hasn't been able to practice with the team due to the shortened schedule and he hasn't been able to shoot the basketball for very long.
