Rebounding problem

[gameFACE]

How many PPG were the Spurs giving up with Rasho as a starter? I thought it was 86.5ppg.

So Ploto, what's the solution here. Just come out and say it.......................

Did you miss my point? Nazr is playing more and we are still getting outrebounded. Nazr started every game in March and we only outrebounded the opponent 4/12. I have shown before how even though Nazr gets more offensive rebounds for himself that the team gives up more offensive rebounds when he is in there, too. We are talking about rebounding differential here.

Even touting the Wizards game- Nazr only had 5 rebounds in over 22 minutes. Etan Thomas had 6 rebounds. Nazr was NOT the reason for the good rebounding differential numbers. We got outrebounded by the Lakers all 3 games Nazr started and NOT the one Rasho started. Interesting.

Nazr is averaging 5.3 rebounds per game. If you extrapolate his minutes to equal Rasho's, he would be averaging 5.8 rebounds per game- or exactly 2 more rebounds per game than Rasho. That isn't what people said we would be getting from Nazr. Per 48 minutes don't really matter to me because you don't play 48 minutes. We know that Tim and Horry will be playing even more minutes in the play-offs, not fewer. You really want to cut their minutes to play Nazr more??

hmmm....maybe the team still getting out rebounded with Nazr in March has to do with it being the hardest stretch the Spurs have had in the scheduling?

Ya know, tired legs lead to less rebounds.

Seriously, give Pop a call and tell him that you have analyzed their problem in depth, and I'm sure his ears will perk right up as he anxiously awaits your recommendations on how to remedy the situation
