I am not worried about the rebounding in November, except for the clutch-time defensive rebounds.
That is bullshit. Do you know that throughout his career, Gibson came off of the bench? He still does. But his rebounds per 36 minutes is the same as Gasol's over his career. Gasol has played about 36 minutes per game, and Gibson has averaged about 25 per game. Gibson has sacrificed stats in order to basically lead the 2nd unit. %age fallen over a cliff, eh? Gibson has been the best player on the Bulls thus far in this season.
No, the best player on the Bulls thus far this season has been between Gasol/Butler.
I hope not.Pretty close. Gasol and Butler have played well but so has Gibson. It'd be interesting what would happen if they flip-flopped Gibson and Gasol in the line-ups.

Gibson's rebounding has been sub-par and the guy is more of a black hole than Kobe Bryant. He acts like every time he touches the ball he needs to shoot. Butler and Gasol have out played him by a good margin.

This may be the first time I've ever heard someone who's shooting 58% referred to as a "black hole" with the ball.
You know what ... I'm pretty sure that I'm perfectly fine with every player on the team being a "black hole", if they'll shoot 58% when they get it.
As for the rebounding concerns, it seems to be just a few minor things.
Our Defensive rebounds have been fine, but we've been giving up several more Offensive boards a game than usual.
Joakim is still a little off ... our perimeter players need to keep their perimeter players off the offensive glass a little better, etc.
Nothing I'm really too concerned about. I think as the season moves along and guys get back into the swing of things, our rebounding will likely pick back up.
Kobe Bryant is a career 46% shooter which is not bad given the position he plays. He's often referred to as that. Taj rarely ever passes once he touches the ball, it's a jumper or he tries a post move. His FG% will likely dip as the season progresses. Jimmy and Pau have both outplayed taj and it's pretty clear...he'll both of them may end up starting in the asg this year.
