Teams can kill you on the offensive boards usually if they're shooting crappy, but you're asking to get hurt if they shoot well and get offensive rebounds.
With Hollins, I think it's another part of the mantra of always be ready...just don't assume. The might've been a problem because Gasol is a pretty physical guy and I think this would've been a heavy foul per minute situation for Hollins.
I can say with more confidence JJ is playing better ball that Jet right now. Jet HAS to be shooting well or isn't doing much of anything. Both of them are rough on defense but JJ has been a little more efficient and hasn't been terrible in distribution, compared to Jet.

I agree with what you said about JET. He hasn't been himself. I don't know if its the lingering injury or what. He has been shooting poorly and his shot selection has been questionable. He relies too much on the 3 ball that it becomes a love hate relationship with me. If he makes it, I cheer him to death. But when he misses, I cringe and say "drive to the basket JET!!!" Furthermore, his passing and decision making have been terrible these past few games. I hope its just a funk and that he can get out of it soon. This team needs him badly.
