[Herky] Post Offense

[Sue Bailey]

Does anyone know our percentage of won opening jump balls? It seems to 
me Woody gets most of them, but I could be wrong because we all know he 
can't jump. Let's see 18 rebounds in the last game. Larry Bird rebounds? 
I think not.
His worth to the team is much more than scoring. Do I want him to score 
more? Sure I would like to see that. Watch his outlet passes, they are a 
thing of beauty for the most part.
Hang in there fans!
