yes lopez did frustrate dHoward. dHoward even threw an elbow to lopez, if i remember correctly.
he did good even though it didnt show up on the box score.

I have to admit it turned my stomach to see that Lopez only got 1 rebound but he wasn't a total loss as he kept Howard off the offensive boards fairly well and defended him better than I expected him to.

I have to agree that Barbs offensive play has picked up - he's actually pulling up for mid range shots with increasing frequency. Once it even looked like thats what he planned to do!

Lopez has a hard enough time getting rebounds against anybody, getting 1 against the best rebounder of this generation is hardly something to be upset about.

Robin needs to work a lot on his rebounding, but if anyone expected him to miraculously have it fixed against Dwight freaking Howard, they're nuts.
