That's the kind of thing Griffin needs to start getting used too.

We get rid of Lester Hudson, and then Manny Harris decides to dominate. Fuck this.

Well there goes the little hope that was the 6th seed. Knicks were outrebounded 52-32, just unacceptable.

Lebron's fault.

It really is. The Knicks don't attack the boards as a team at all.

There is really two ways to rebound. One is as a block out team, which requires players to get a body on the opponent whenever the shot goes up. Some coaches like to use some varietys of front and rear pivot to block out the opponent, others prefer the forearm and riding out on the perimeter. The other is gang rebounding, which is the opposite of blocking out, it requires no contact with the opponent, just attack the glass and try to rebound the ball.

The Knicks seem more of like a gang rebounding team to me, but they aren't very good at it. They don't "attack" the rim, the opponent just wants it more than they do. They ball watch alot. I mean Amare and Melo with 4 total rebounds combined? That won't cut it. Melo honestly has the tools to pull down 8+ a game as a SF. Tyson with only 1 offensive rebound? He should be pulling down 4 or 5 a game. And don't even get me started on Amare. He's always been a poor rebounder. There is no reason for a man his size, his strength, his athleticism to only pull down 8 rebounds a night. He should be getting easily double digits.

Not saying it wasn't, just saying its obvious opponents are tired of it and this sort of thing will just continue to happen.

 

[elcheato]

Which is why a suspension is needed, and probably some retaliation by another Clipper that warrants a suspension itself. Preferably by Reggie Evans.

Heat lose, and the Bulls will probably find a way to screw up.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Bulls are so fucking awful when playing with a lead.

So many 4th quarter chokes.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Uh oh, OT in Memphis?
