Actually last night he rebounded a lot. Also, as the 2nd option on offense, he has all the right to demand the ball more. More importantly, he didn't, saying it was all about winning, which is the right thing.
He has to get going on offense in order for us to be good. What happened last night can't keep happening. But above all, we need enough ball movement so everybody gets their share of the cake.
Right now this team looks like a body without a head, and that includes D'Antoni.
10 rebounds is not alot. That's what he should rebound everynight. getting 10 boards every 5 games isn't going to cut it.
For him, it is. You don't like it? Go cry a river, but that wont change who Amar'e is. He isn't as consistent defensively and rebounding as you'd hope, but we knew that before we got him. And actually, for us to play up to our expectations, he doesn't have to change a lot. He has to go back to who he was. I could care less if he has 5, 7, 10 rebounds as long as the team plays as one and starts winning. Right now we have bigger issues than this particular.

David Lee and Stephen Curry??? LOLx2. I won't even comment on this one for it is an absolute pipedream.
Kevin Martin and Luis Scola >>> could be done if Stat didn'T have an uninsured contract, maybe.
Pau Gasol >>> Yeah, right, and I'm sure they would accept to give us Bynum to sweeten the deal.
Out of curiosity, are you making fun of this board right now?
Im not.
Bogut and Jennings are starter quality at their positions but they are NOT super stars.
David Lee STILL doesnt play defense and Stephen Curry has ankle issues.
Kevin Martin STILL doesnt play defense and Scola is old.
All those teams have one thing in common. They are at BEST competing for the 7-8th seed in the playoffs and a first round exit.
So with that said Amare isn't much a downgrade if any.

That is why we get Brooks also in the deal, not to mention most feel Melo is the better player.
