Game 64: Dallas Mavericks (35-28) vs. Detroit Pistons (10-52)

[Smitty]

I mean...I BELIEVE you, but I sure feel like I'm seeing him miss out on a ton of important and gettable defensive rebounds when he's out there. For me, the numbers don't persuade me (yet).

I'd also point to the fact that the team has undeniably performed better with Lively, not Gafford, as a sign that maybe rebounding just ain't all that in general. For me, if you have to concede in any area, that's the one to let go.

With all of those stats I still take Lively overall 10 times out of 10. It just seems to me the board is doing this Lively VS Gafford thing instead of just appreciating both for who they are is all. Not a shot at you or anyone in general.
