My issue is not the rebounding. I know Dirk gets a ton. It's getting out hustled for caroms off the rim, which allows so many easy buckets for opponents that is frustrating. If we were disciplined about putting a body on these guys, we could cut out some of those easy baskets. I am talking in general, not only about last night's game.

Part of that problem is Dirk is not a great leaper. And he isn't quick off the floor. So jumping jack type guys like Smith give him trouble. Those jumping jack type of guys can literally tip the ball once or twice before Dirk can secure it.
(Some of it is effort, I agree.)
