Abhishek, when Amare doesn’t rebound I think it has to do with a lack of aggressiveness. Take tonight’s game, when he pulled down 11 boards. He was focused and aggressive from the tip. When you’re a 6-foot-10 freak of nature, you should get more than one board by chance, so his porous boarding game can only be blamed on effort. Maybe Gentry’s benching lit a fire under him??

@Tyler Lockman: Which begs the question: HOW???? I mean, we all know Amare's a below average rebounder, but 1 rebound in 27 minutes is pushing it… even for him.

Like I said, I didn't watch the game; so how DID Amare end up with just one rebound? Did the ball just not bounce in his direction throughout the game? Was it because both teams shot a high percentage? Was he more lackadaisical than usual rebounding the ball? Or was it a combination of all those factors?
