Anyone see Shelden Williams' line for his Nuggets debut!

28 minutes as a starter.

Hmmmmm

He's always been a plus rebounder, its the other parts of his game that were a problem. Good value pickup for the Nuggets, I'm glad he did well. I hope he keeps it up.

Wasn't this game in garbage time mode before the last quarter even started?

He got half of those in the first half, before garbage time.

He only got 3 rebounds in the 4th when it was garbage time officially.

I guess somebody should've paid the landlord!

Why is everyone so surprised by this?

Sheldon is a fantastic rebounder given his lack of lift.

It's important to identify the context:

Kenyon Martin didn't play
Nene didn't play so well
It was a blowout

No one ever said he couldn't rebound.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

The difference between a true contender and a joke team. When you got scrubs like Shelden putting up Dwight Howard like numbers for a game or two. At least he had his customary stats 4TO & 27% from the floor.

Do people realize this isn't his career high for rebounds in a single game?

Meh. I'm more impressed with KG's back to back 10 boards and then 15. I don't think that's happened in a long while.

Anyway, wasn't it Tony Delk that score like 54 points in a game once? I wouldn't get too excited about Shelden showing some signs of life.
