Perception is a wierd thing. Pierce, Ewill, Blount, Battie have all accomplished it this season alone, with some doing it more than once. Even Baker did once, and maybe some others. I'm being lazy about details because I haven't fed all the boxscores into my database (I can give you more specifics in a day or so if you really want them) Pierce leads the team in double digit rebound games with at least 5 this season - I keep saying that for all his other faults that drive me crazy, he is a very underrated rebounder. That and his ballhandling weaknesses are why IMO he really is a SF not a SG.

Mihm - fairly mobile but otherwise offensively very limited although one HUGE virtue: understands the idea of taking advantage of his size to power dunk whenever possible, something I wish he would get through to our other big men. No pitty pat open hoops for Chris. Don't forget the foul problems though, which weren't totally unexpected and will continue to be an issue with more minutes. That being said, I agree he should start at 4/5 and suspect that he will for a bit. He and Blount as a starting tandem up front to some degree offset each other's limitations, since Blount has a jump shot on offense and Mihm adds toughness.

Mihm 11 board in 23 minutes. I can't remember the last time we had double
digit boards from a player in a complete game!. This guy needs to start at
the 5. How does he look offensively? 11/11 and 2 blocks. I can live with
that in 23 minutes
