The postgame media interviews are a bit of a conundrum for NBA players, most especially after a crushing defeat and in the playoffs at that.

Following his fantastic performance in Game 2’s 120-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in which he scored 23 […]

Al Horford is not what has been traditionally considered a star. He’s not a highlight machine who takes over games like Kyrie Irving or Damian Lillard. He’s not what you’d call quotable. But for an injury-depleted Boston Celtics, Horford has been everything. And while he isn’t a big talker, through the first two games of […]
