Coach Jordan said that during the last two practices prior to the Rockets game he focused a great deal on rebounding since that has been lacking during the last few games. He instructed his players to find a body when a shot goes up, rather than looking for the ball or looking to run down court. Coach Jordan quoted legendary Princeton and Sacramento coach Pete Carill when discussing rebounding. Coach Carill told him that rebounders come to the gym with towels because they come prepared to work hard; shooters come to the gym with pretty bags. The assumption being rebounds get down and dirty, shooters do no such thing. Coach Jordan is looking for his players to bring towels.

I think we need a lot more towels.
