Don't laugh, but I think you can give Mihm some credit for inspiring 
Blount's most recent surge in rebounds. He was going after them at the 
beginning of the year, but gradually regressed to some of his old 
passiveness. But I've seen him being more aggressive again lately 
-particularly on the boards and with a few emphatic blocks- with the timing 
matching Mihm getting more minutes and applause from the home crowd. 
Presumably the key is that he has some real competition for minutes at 
center (vs Obie just playing guys like Walter out of position there) and 
for the starting position.
