Atlanta Hawks All-Star center Al Horford will miss at least three months with a shoulder injury, a major blow to a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference.
This is too bad Al Hortford is a good young player. He kind of does everything, he can rebound, score, and he isn't bad on defense. It also too bad because this team is actually playing pretty well. They are 8-4 and 3 losses were a 2 point loss to the Bulls (who they have also beat), an overtime loss to the Heat, and two road losses to the Rockets/Pacers, which happen. I don't think they can make a serious run in the East, but you never know. I feel like the Hawks have just been one of the underachieving teams for so long now, that you just hope one day they figure it out, kind of like how the Mavericks did.
