I like what Barkley said....

[Covert Rain]

he's averaging less rebounds in more minutes. How is that not getting worse? Again, KG's numbers looked like they went down because his minutes went down, thus he didn't get as many opportunities but his rebounding rate was pretty much the same. Amare is now getting MORE minutes, which means more opportunities and his numbers are worse. What's the argument that he's not doing a worse job this year on the boards than he did last year?



oy ve.

In Amare's defense on the subject, Amare is going to get a lot less opportunities to rebound with Shaq on the floor. Shaq dominates that paint on the defensive end. So just looking at Amare's rebounding stat's doesn't paint the entire picture just like looking KG's doesn't either.

I would be curious to see a break down of Amare's rebounding per with and without Shaq on the floor.

I don't know. Shaq's not exactly dominating on the boards and the team itself is barely breaking even. In fewer minutes, Haslem was able to board at a better pace than Amare and that was when Shaq was actually averaging double figure rebounds.

I think the point is it seems like NO ONE is flourishing under Porters' system. You have to wonder how many of these guys even beleive it will work at this point. This team still has offensive weapons and we shouldn't be struggling to score. Right now it doesn't appear to be the hybrid offense that we were sold by Kerr, it looks like boring ass Detroit syle half court and we look lost alot of times. God help this board if the Knicks end up winning more games than the Suns!

because the team is split into two camps with no reconcilation in sight. it's a team sport so it certainly will doom everybody on the same boat.

Ouch. I get that feeling also; this doesn't look like it will end well (ie, miss the playoffs and/or disgruntled players).
