Weedblazers may hate John Hollinger, but...
he has a pretty decent piece on the Daily Dime today about the Clips on the offensive boards. Quantifies in a simple way the importance of hitting the glass.
On another note, what does WB have in common in with Juwon Howard?

I did not know Mike had a six-year, $36.9 million contract with the Community Development Network.

yeah, Mike, get yourself some channels
It doesn't take a poindexter to figure out that the Clips won because of the glass - it was pretty d*mn obvious (enough so that I went to bed at halftime). BTW, I'm pretending that the Clippers are actually the T-Wolves and that KG is just wearing his Elton Brand suit. It makes the playoffs a lot more fun.

F-that! Hollinger is still trying hard to make the cut with Barnum and Bailey's. I agree with Me-Wolves that doing a 'stat' breakdown on the Clips board dominance did not exactly tell me anything I could not have noticed from a box score.
Further check this gem that eminated from Ronald McHollinger's PER nonsense: ESPN's All-Time Playoffs did the most piss poor job of reppin NBA history, mostly because they used the PER in their player evaluations. Hollinger, like many of the B-Ball journalists of today, grew up sniffing Jordan's jock. His PER system reflects the superficial greatness of Jordan: the scoring numbers, rebounds, assists.
What bozo's like Hollinger eschew is that GREATNESS is about will. What separated Jordan was his will. Same with Bird and Magic. Will is what creates dominance and Championships. Will is Bill. Bill Russell.
But according to Stat Clown, Russ has a PER of 19.5. Robert Parrish has a PER of 25.2. So does Artis Gilmore. Reggie 'Freakin' Theus has a 19.2.
i.e. The PER system is mindless stat masturbation.
Jordan won six rings, establishing an aura that when the game ends, MJ's team is the winner. Russ has 11 rings. . .more than fingers on which to wear them. Any system of player efficiency evaluation should have these cats at the top. But while Jordan shines, Russ seems like a spirited Bill Cartwright type.
I could go on about the entire sham that was the All Time NBA Playoffs, but I believe that a PER mentaility is the easiet way to understand why the Mickey Mouse Sports Network go history so twisted.
Sad, I tell ya.
p.s. Hopefully Juwan will learn as much fro his mis-step as I. . . I wonder if he tried to run and was tracked down by the floor waxer?

Hey, does this mean we should expect to see Jalen Rose driving a backhoe one of these days?
