The force is strong with Luke

Luke Harangody. The man is earning himself some minutes. He's been seeing more action of late, partially due to the absence of KG and Semih Erden. But I loved the way he was flying around around for rebounds. Obviously his scoring was great, but I already knew he could shoot. His shots were bound to start falling at some point. But what really gets me going is his offensive rebounding. It looks like he has that will power that you need to be a great rebounder.

When Kevin Love was in town the great Greg Dickerson asked him what it takes to be a great rebounder. He pretty much just said will power. You gotta want it more than the other guy. Luke has that, or appears to anyways. It looks like he has a great nose for the ball.

One thing I've always loved about Doc is he makes sure everyone knows their role. He keeps everyone in line and reminds them exactly what their responsibility is out there. Luke is an energy and rebounding guy, Rondo's job is to control the game, Paul is our go-to clutch scorer/closer, Ray is our three point specialist/ Mr. Smooth, KG is our KG, and so on and so forth. My point is it WORKS. And I like it.

Let's beat the Bulls tonight. And find out who the Pat's are gonna play. Great sports weekend.
