A friend of mine was unable to watch last night's game, and asked me this morning about what happened past the box score. After ranting about a series of dicey calls by the refs, I began to discuss about the seemingly back breaking rebounds, mostly secured by Tristan Thompson.
Like anyone who got to watch the game, the rebounding discrepancy (8) wasn't really the issue, it was just how back breaking each of their offensive rebounds felt. I didn't want to rest on a gut feeling so I reviewed each of Tristan Thompson's 5 offensive rebounds - The results, somehow, were even worse than I recalled.
