What i don't understand is, they obviously had to know going into this series that the key to beating the Lakers was by stopping them from dominating the glass like they have been doing against all the other teams. So for the C's to come out and STILL get dominated on the glass, says a whole lot about their effort. When you know what you have to do and still don't do it, that's pretty sad.

They did out-hustle us and thats why they grabbed more boards. But there were a lot of balls that just bounced in the right direction for them. Not a whole lot you can do when the ball goes directly in the area of the Laker player. You can fight for boards all night, but you can't fight gravity and physics.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Great adjustments on the glass in game 2. Bigs sealed the paint and allowed Rondo to sneak in and grab every loose ball there was. Led to a TON of transition buckets and secondary breaks.

Gasol only had 8 boards, Bynum only 7.

I was very happy to see them control the glass last night! Props to Rondo, Sheed and Baby.  Rondo was amazing.
