I think your perspective may be a little off if you are going to bash the dirkster for "getting destroyed on the boards" while giving wood a pass for his great rebounding effort.

I'm not saying Haywood was great, I just felt like it was weird to harp on him this game. I certainly didn't think he killed the Mavs, as the poster I responded to said he did. I DID also mention the terrible rebounding he turned in the two games before this one. Haywood also scored some very key buckets late in the game. Seven points in 17 minutes is VERY nice production from a center for us.
As for Dirk, I am reluctant to criticize him when he has to shoulder so much offensively, but rebounding was the major reason we lost and he was a big part of the problem.
