    Is deandre jordan not an elite rebounder? I must be missing something

    Yeah...I didn't want to nitpick that one part, but that definitely made me raise an eyebrow DJ is 4th all-time in TRB% behind Rodman, Reggie Evans, and Dwight.

    Why did you kill Kent Bazemore's career with your jinxing?

    That man's jinx-power is so strong, Ken Burns could make a 6 hour do entary about it.

    I'll bet $2000 straight up that Spurs do NOT beat GSW in a playoff series this year... if the Dubs win series, you pay me $2000, if Spurs win series, I pay you $2000 and post a video of me eating a sandwich... deal?

    You're right that he is, but for some reason, despite him playing 65 percent of the total minutes his team has played, the Clips are not a good rebounding team at all. And against the Warriors, he averaged only .315 rebounds per minute, which is the third-lowest rate against any opponent this season (The Spurs were first, interestingly, while SAC has been second). He hasn't been dominant rebounder versus the Warriors.

    But that's not the same as saying they don't have an elite rebounder. Anything to demonstrate his rebounding is significantly worse against the Warriors with a decent sample size?

    You're correct, but he doesn't play that way against GS, so I guess that's why I discounted him.

    Regardless of the money, why would you want to put yourself in a position where you must root against your professed team?

    Truth be told, I didn't really watch any of the LAC/GS games. But seeing as he's been so unsuccessful against that front line, I don't know.

    We are the only team that has a chance to beat them. We have 3 skilled bigs & the other one is a beast - super aggressive, showing huge improvement with his hands and finishing and extremely vocal and active defensively.

    Yes and why would you volunteer to eat a sandwich made out of sh*t on top of it all? Rooting against your purported team and having to do something very disgusting in case you lose. Being filmed as well. You might not want to consider being a professional gambler as a potential career move.

    Can't find specific numbers for this but against teams that shoot a lot of jump shots, and especially 3s, and don't rely on post scoring there are a lot of long rebounds which generally don't go to the rim protecting center. Also, the fact that GS have a very high FG% limits the total number of available defensive rebounds.

    But then that would be a general statement about all rebounders against GSW, not specifically Jordan

    I have been in your corner on this often... I do falter when the duo of Manu and Tony look their age or very close to done. Whether it is bc they have no legs, a B2B, a nag of some kind (Tony mostly) or simple facing young athletes in comparison to whom they look old. That's really the times I have been shaken. To be fair I don't watch GS so I don't get chances to get intimidated.

    It's called hedging. Always better to have a win-win on both sides of the coin as opposed to all or nothing?

    Durant's injury could change the momentum of the whole season. I'd never wish an injury on an athlete, just stating the obvious.

    I said at the beginning of the season that one of GSW's true weaknesses is their best 2 players Durant and Curry are injury prone. I wasn't hoping for an injury, but their past history shows it as real a weakness as being slow, or not being able to jump, or know your rotations. You take that good with the bad, and that's their bad.
