Amir Johnson is blossoming at the right time...

Dice is fine. Earlier in the year we were complaining about the team's rebounding. Now he's stepping up and boarding like crazy, and this is evidence of a second half decline? Nope. The extra effort may affect his offensive numbers some, but he's delivering what we need.

IF he didn't shoot something stupid like 35% in the playoffs last year I'd feel much better about it...

Mcdyess should be given his due. The guy is really working the boards. If we didnt have him, I cant imagine how many offensive boards the other team will get on us. If Dice continues to struggle offensively, I dont really care, as long as he is putting up that kind of effort.

Talking about rebounding makes me start thinking about sheeds 7 pathetic rebounds each game. :noway:

Lets stop now before I get too depressed.

With 44 in hand he'd need to block 26 more shots over the last 27 games. He should be able to get that with no problem as long as he keeps getting 10-15 mpg (which he should have been getting all season).

Amir with 2 in Phoenix for 46 blks, only 24 more to go.
