Sorry, don't even know what your reputation bit there means.

I said it's an anomaly that Dirk outrebounded each individual player on the opposing team. You say that my saying that is "crap".

Pretty sure that, by and large, the high rebounder in a game on any given night in the NBA is usually ~10 (most times higher).

Yet Dirk averages UNDER 7 rebounds a game. Pretty sure that means that the dude does NOT outrebound the other team night-in and night-out.

Dirk ranks 53rd in rebounding.

So, uhh, yeah... don't really see how I'm wrong here. I guess that makes me a knucklehead for stating the obvious.

To be fair; Dirk does have some really good rebounders around him so he doesn't have to bang as much if we were a really small team. Anything he can do preserve himself is fine with me.

You can't look at raw rebound numbers you mental midget! Yes, Dirk's rebounds are down because of age/injuries/minutes. But he is still a good defensive rebounder. He has never, and will never be a big offensive rebounder because that's not what we need him to do. Defensive rebounding is what Dirk does, and he still does it pretty well. Higher DRR% than Amare, Pau, Aldridge, etc.

Why can't you ever make your point without doing this? Honestly. People would like 500x better and listen to you more often.

Because he's an idiot troll so he got an idiot troll retort.

Because I simply say that Dirk doesn't TRY to rebound like he should - that makes me an "idiot troll"?

Would I "fit in" better if I got hysterical when people mistakenly start threads about a topic which may have been slightly broached in any one of a dozen 30+ page threads? Or mercilessly derided the (actually stellar as of late) play of JJB for no reason while lustfully riding Dirk's sack no matter how he plays?

If so, just let me know, and I'll try to get on that.

(Heaven forbid anybody even remotely make a less than complimentary observation about our beloved Dirk! Oh, the humanity!)

To get back on track - uh, Dirk's cartoon drawing is the best cartoon drawing of a professional athlete in the world, ever.
