well Barnes just took a swan dive head first into the hardwood, that's another thing young guys have to learn, how to play without hurting themselves.

...good point! Young guys have a tendency to play "reckless" thus more often than not, miss guys due to injuries, some of them serious! Older guys with brains realize the need to protect themselves so as to play another day. Besides, you dive for a loose ball even if you save it....your dumb butt teammate is just going to launch another ill-advised shot that has no chance of going in anyway!

He was going for a rebound or a loss ball, so he was up in the air, took some contact on his legs, and came down face first from a considerable height.

Barnes and Jack looked good. I wouldn't mind having either of those guys on my team. Mark could have stretched this to 7 if he ran the o through Jack more in the 2nd half. Curry was trying to do too much by himself, playing with a tweaked ankle.

..yeah, I saw the play and the replay! I was never big on going for offensive rebounds. Too easy to get hurt and generally not that productive anyway. My boys generally didn't need offensive rebounds. We had such a precision offense that we would get off a very high percentage shot, thus no need for an offensive rebound!
