rebound rate

[RickyPrior]

Are u even capable of talking about this team without insulting ET in some backhanded way?

Try, just try to discuss the rebounding issue without mentioning his name.

Think we could trade for a jordan hill type? Hes in the top 10 for reb rate

one cannot discuss rebounding with this squad without discussing Evan. he's a very effective rebounder... and maybe the best rebounding guard in the league.

lately his rebounding has fallen off a bit. bringing it to his attention will help the team.

thank you

Not really tho, what would help the team MORE than our guard crashing the boards would be our bigs doing the job that bigs are supposed to do.

Having no big man in the top 50 in reb rate is atrocious and an indicator of a much bigger problem than our guard whos shouldering a bigger offensive and defensive load ( covering the other teams best perimeter wing)

a real shame he's not doing better on that defensive assignment. very disappointing.

these bigs weren't expected to do anything more than they are doing. you may have for gotten our main big hasn't even put on a uniform yet. and so those capable need to do more. scoring is glamorous... but we need Evan to step up defensively and on the boards.

thank you

Its like talking to a potato....

[RickyPrior]

Or.

It's like talking to someone who knows basketball. Im just telling you things you don't want to hear.

it makes me unpopular... but that's okay. you'll thank me during the parade down Broad Street

[BChydro86]

No, ur talking about things that dont make sense.

These are big man issues. The issue is that our bigs arent getting their job done. Theyre not holding down the fort while bynum is on the shelf.

Youre making this about evan turner (big surprise) when he is the least of our rebounding/interior issues. Hes not even an interior player for crying out loud.

there is no excuse for twp 7 footers to not be at least half decent rebounders on a consistent basis. Too much inconsistency from the big guys, we shouldnt have to rely on ET to lead us in boards.

[RickyPrior]

they all need to do what they are capable of doing. regardless of their physical height.

Evan can and needs to do more.

[2-ONE-5]

but the rest of the team doesnt?

[RickyPrior]

but the rest of the team doesnt?

If they have previously demonstrated ability...yes, of course.

[BChydro86]

So evan has to be our leading rebounder, best perimeter defender, top 3 scorer, and 2nd pg....

Man u sure are asking a lot of a guy u continually claim to be a dissapointment.

How many other players in the league are asked to do so many things? Lebron james..... Who else fits that bill? Lol.

Didn't ask him to 'lead' the team in anything. Just to do better than he has lately. Try to follow along.

And he's not good perimeter defender. Watch him sometime...you'll be surprised.

[BChydro86]

Just because hes not as good of a defender as iggy doesnt make him not good.

Hes still the best perimeter defender on the team.

Also, if u want to talk about evan turner, make a "rickys *****ing about evan turner thread" because this thread is about the frontcourt, not your unusual obsession with evan turner.

[Philapsychosis]

Damn this dude is dumb. Shut up, no one takes you seriously.

no one cares what you asked or didnt ask him to lead the team in. Yet your not asking, criticizing, or even questioning our actual front court players?

shame on you.
