What the heck happened to Brook Lopez's rebounding?

    I didn't catch the game, but I wonder if that 1 rebound came off his own miss. I can't believe somebody that spends so much time with the ball, can't rebound.

    Not meaning to pile on, but last season I asked how would Brook Lopez produce on a good team with high expectations. The point is I'm skeptical because the guy puts up numbers on a sorry team that never has anything to play for.

    He went 12/17 tonight while the Nets got the stuffing beat out of them by the Pacers 124-92. Completely worthless performance. May as well have been D-League (I exaggerate slightly).

    The entire rest of the season for the Nets will be garbage time unless they trade for Melo.

    What changed from last year to this? The coaching staff.

    Eeeeeeeekk :eek: mancrush on Courtney Lee and Twill .........
    They left and he lost all desire ...

    Seeing Lee going up for a rebound with rockets in his shoes :grin:

    Brook Lopez needs to come to Htown to get his rebounding mojo back ...

    This might be the time to try to steal Lopez from the Nets. Despite of his rebounding problems this guy is still the best center prospect for the forseeable future. The talent is definitely there.

    A night where Cousins utterly wrecked Andrew Bynum and Lopez put up that rebounding performance is not exactly the best night to make that claim. Lopez is interesting, and of course I'd like him, but I suspect New Jersey would demand way too much for him.

    :confused:

    Though the stats are interesting and legit, thats the kind of statistician example basketball fans don't take to.

    Guy is just overrated here. He put up decent numbers when the Nets were probably the worst team in the league. Although they're still awful, they've gotten just slightly better and he's putting up worst numbers. I know his injury may have some part, but he should be progressing as the season goes on, not digressing.

    Yao Ming can afford to be slow because he's 7'6. With Lopez, he was so unathletic prior to the draft a lot of analysts said there's a good chance he won't cut it in the NBA.

    I don't think he's the type of center you can build around since he's not a defensive or rebounding presence. I guess he's a lot like Landry in that respect.
