    Only saw the last three minutes; what is the deal with the rebounds; we got beat bad there. I know rebounding is mostly an effort thing but is there something more here? What do the Spurs do differently?

    For me, tennis is one of the few other watchable sports other than basketball.

    Coached better, play harder and with more of a 'big' attitude. Our leading rebounder is really a 220 lb SF playing PF and our backup center is usually 26' from the hoop....tough to rebound from there. That leaves Plumlee, Voleh and Davis as bigs with bulk who can actually bang inside and are playing in the key who played a total of 47 minutes.

    Aminu has length but certainly not the size or toughness to be a major rebound. That he leads the team is pretty sad.

    I didn't get to watch the game. Why did Napier, take more shots than Crabbe, and Moe, when they were shooting high percentages? Was he just not looking for anyone else? Or did he have to take a bunch of late shot clock heaves or something?

    I've turned off or not watched as many games this year as I have in the last 8 years combined. At least the past years teams have been entertaining even in losses. This year they just seem so down in these losses, like they don't even care to give it 100%. Gone are the days when you felt like the team was never out of it, and could always amount a comeback. Now it seems that no matter how big their lead is, you expect them to get careless and give it away. Shameful to say the least...

    Because that is who Napier is. A volume shooter who isn't really a distributor. So more duplication.
