Dude, it's seriously weak to try to blame Duncan for poor rebounding when he rebounded better than he normally does. There's just no way to defend it. Just admit that it was a dumb thing to say and move on.
When Tolliver was harassing Sessions in the back court and Moute got the long pass in the paint, resulting in an intentional foul by Finley, I'm curious how two made free throws instead of a layup makes Tolliver's defense acceptible to you. It happened with 6:58 to go. Let me know when you go back and watch it instead of checking the box score. Also go back a few minutes earlier and watch when Tolliver got himself screened by his own man on the first jumper and failed to rotate on the second and try to figure how his great scouting ability played into it, particularly since Tolliver didn't leave him alone on the outside again in the game.

but it's true! Duncan of the past were average 20 rebounds against Gasol and Odom as bigs, i remember this series and i remember that Duncan give up rebounds that he was not used to give in the past.
First of all, Pau Gasol is a career 9 rebound per game guy, and Odom averaged 11 rebounds per game last year, so acting like they are somehow James Edwards and Brad Lohaus is almost as stupid as saying Duncan "only" pulled down 17 boards per game when playing against both of them. Second, 17 boards per game against those guys in a playoff series is a far far far far ing cry from pulling down 5 against Milwaukee, particularly when he'd been averaging 11.2 per game this regular season prior to that game.
If he pulls down 5 rebounds tonight, come back and . You'll still be wrong, but at least you'll have twice as much evidence as you have right now. If he pulls down 14 rebounds against Yao and Scola, I'm sure we won't hear anything about it.
I'm starting to think that Tolliver may have a little Robert Horry in him.
Okay, I'm waiting....![]()
Even though he only had five, it seemed like he got all the big rebounds tonight.
i dont have any intention to and it's hard to me to say this cause Duncan is my favorit player of all time and this somthing that worry me a lot but it's what i see - i see decline in Duncan rebounding and i dont have explanation why...
I just wanted to make sure you knew I put my chin out there...
Strangely, tonight didn't feel like a bad rebounding game for him. He gave up the really bad one to Brooks in the first quarter, He's kind of been out of position lately, but it could have something to do with the fact that he's working so much harder on defense. I have a feeling he'll be able to put it all together once everyone continues to improve as a team. They've gotten so much better the last four or five games that there's probably no reason to panic.
How nice would that Milwaukee game have been, NOW, though?
