The Philadelphia 76ers’ Al Horford experiment isn’t dead — yet.

The unfailing accuracy of hindsight is too often abused by the NBA media. Of course, the Philadelphia 76ers’ signing of Al Horford was an abject failure. And, in hindsight, it made very little sense on paper. It was doomed to fail from the very get.

And yet, despite no provocation or personal bias in Horford’s favor, I feel obligated to step up in defense of Horford, who has been the object of extensive criticism all season.
