The Spurs were outrebounded in 11 of their final 12 playoff games.
I didn't realize the rebounding versus the Mavericks was so pitiful. I knew it was bad but I didn't know how bad.
The Spurs were outrebounded in each of the seven games. For the series, the Mavs averaged more than 5 more rebounds per game. You just can't win like that. You can have the three of the best four players in the series but if you don't rebound, you don't win.
The Kings beat up on the Spurs too. The Spurs were outrebounded in 11 of their final 12 playoff games.
That's just sick.
Reggie Evans is the medicine.

Even Brad Miller is scared of Evans
On the subject of the Spurs front office personal leaving like crazy....
I think thats pretty much unavoidable when you're a winning team like the Spurs have been. You're the first place other teams look for coaching/front office talent and its not like you can keep people from moving up in their careers. Its the price of success.
spend all taht money on Reggie
no money left over for a Bobby Jackson or a Speedy Claxton.
Nor Scola
damn, 11 out of 12.......ouch....
I agree.
But they can't lose Presti.
He holds all the secrets.
resign Sam Presti to a big contract too Spurs.
Losing him would be the end of the dynasty IMO.
lol me and Kori on the same wavelength
I gots dis beech.
Yeah, you can't win with that BS. 11 out of the final 12 games you get outrebounded?
Spurs deserve to be fishing.
when your at the top for so long, and its been a while now (aren't we lucky) i think you need to keep topping up your list not just with new people but players which add something different.
we added a few guys this year which really do things we already had covered. adding a monster on the boards would be good.
new people mean practicing against different talents, it helps to keep them sharp and avoid complacency
D'Antoni
Avery
Mario
Prunty
Doc Rivers
Danny Ferry
Mike Brown
Lance Blanks
Paul Pressey
Monty Williams
That is all since 99. I disagree. Pop's just grooming them to go somewhere else. It's a revolving door.
Yeah, Reggie would be good..he needs a little work but, he'd be good.
In the final 12 playoff games, the Spurs were outrebounded 483 to 432. The Spurs couldn't win a WNBA championship if they were owned on the boards that hardcore.
thats a huge number, 51 boards in 12 games
It's time to fight fire with fire. Or flopper with flopper, if you will.On the occasion of the Academy Awards, Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy gave his NBA Best Actor Award.
" Reggie Evans would definitely get best actor in the league," Van Gundy said of the Denver power forward, just days after the Rockets played the Nuggets. "I am so sick of watching that guy flop I can't stand it. It is an absolute disgrace what he does. Those two fouls he supposedly drew on Yao (Ming) the other night were a joke — jumping into the front row. The NBA's got to do something about it.
"He's taken flopping to a new level. The (officials) who look at him, you could eliminate it in one or two games, if you look at him and call a foul every time. He throws himself into the air with minimal contact. And because he does it on every possession, sometimes he does get hit, but you would never know when. It's too hard a game to referee.
"And he's too good a player to be jumping around."
Van Gundy had praised the rest of Evans' play before Friday's game and again Sunday.
"I love his compe ive spirit, I love his intensity and I hate the way the game has grown to where you can act your way to calls," Van Gundy said. "In hockey, I like (that) they fine, they fine for dives. And every time the guy exaggerates the contact, the foul would be on him."
lol thats a laugh. Evans came into denver and averaged 8.7 RPG as a reserve. Rasho had 3.9 and Nazr 5.2 in only 5 mpg less than Evans
We all have seen the Nuts.
If someone would have tugged on Dirk's junk I'd take it as long as it meant more rebounds.
I wonder if Evans plays poker?
I got the nuts!
I don't like Evans, this guy is a great rebounder but is an average defender and a poor offensive player.
If the price for Evans is a full MLE deal ($30M/5years), I rather go for a player like Harrington for $50M/6years.
Let's not forget what happened the two times the Spurs played Detroit this season. First game, Spurs were outrebounded 57-30. Second game the Spurs were outrebounded 56-32.
I think it's safe to say rebounding is a place that needs improvement.
Reggie Evans kick
Rebounding isn't enough.
Nazr is a great rebounder (9th in rebounds/48min) and I don't think a shorter version of Nazr will help us. I don't find that Evans will do e better job on defense than Nazr or that he can defend Dirk.
And the main reason why Spurs aren't a good rebounding team is because we played with a SG/SF at the SF spot and not a SF/PF at the SF spot.
