    What a monster rebounding effort! Are we starting to expect games like these?

    Dream's trying to be the team leader in rebounding. He's trying to make Francis look bad!

    Oh wait, he's the center.

    Achebe,

    Can you post a Dream Hater response every night, he only grabbed 20 boards tonight. I would really like to see him grab 30 or more next time.

    I love the fact that Dream is boarding like this. Now Steve and Cat need to realize that they, as guards, do not need to crash the boards as often anymore, and get out down the court and show us some fast-break action! With a backcourt as lively, quick, and skilled as we have, they should be flashing up and down that court, getting easy layups and alley oop slams.

    Found it! It was Olajuwon's highest rebound total since he had 20 on Feb. 16, 1998

    Actually, I think that defensive rebounding is a very overrated stat. Dream's blocks and steals last night were much more impressive. But Dream had one offensive rebound last night that was just tremendous. He looked 15 yrs younger.

    As for Rockets guards crashing the boards, they still have to do it. The Rockets give up way to many offensive rebounds, particulary when Hakeem is out of the game. Francis and Mobely (as well as shandon and Mo) have to keep going after rebounds.

    At least the guards now do not have to crash the boards on defence so they can concentrate on running the fast breaks more often. Dream should take catapult hurling classes now, so he can throw the rock full court during breaks.

    Can't get enough of Dream this last 4 games. I think we should savor every last bit of this moment because he'll be gone sooner than we think.

    A truly, remarkably gifted athlete. Way to go Dream, keep up the good work!!!!

    With Mobley and Richmond on the same court, I'm suprised everyone didn't have 20 rebounds.

    Hey Haven,

    Thanks for the English lesson. But really, though, my statement was no worse than achebe's. No malice. It was just an opinion. Lighten up, man. [​IMG]

    I'm not sure when the last time he got 20 rebounds, but the last time he snatched 15 defensive boards was in 1995.
