I don't mind the Avery bashing at all, because I think most of it is well deserved, but in the video he says he "dreams of our center grabbing 10 rebounds", not "averaging 10 rebounds". I don't think he means it as a knock on Brook, my interpretation of it is that he's merely saying he's dreaming about the little things the Nets need to do in order to win basketball games. Now I'm not saying that it isn't his fault that Brook Lopez has regressed noticeably, just saying that I don't think Avery is bashing him in that video.
