RE: Hopfully Dampier starts to become a double double guy soon..

Okay, lets calm down just a little bit. The only one of our guards/SF's who's enough above average as a rebounder to be worth commenting on is Josh, and while Dirk's a fine defensive rebounder, he certainly leaves plenty of room for other guys to rack up plenty of offensive rebounds. Damp has not rebounded like he's capable of or like we need him to thus far, and partly as a result of that the Mavs have not done well on the boards in their first two games (though he's far from being the only culprit). If the team's going to get up to snuff on the boards, and it needs to if the winning streak is to continue, it will probably require that he get his rebounding totals up close to double digits if he stays in the 30+ mpg range.

My point with the guards is someone's always going to be getting rebound. And his rebounding isn't nearly important as his defense. Dampier doesn't need to step up on rebounding, the team does.
