That's the way you play Cliff! From now on, thats the way you rebound the basketball!

Amen. I just kept saying to my son while watching the game... WHERE has this aggressive Cliff been all year and why can't he rebound that aggressively every game?!?! Granted if it was an away game he prob. would've been whistled for one or tow over-the-backs which would have subdued him, but still. It was lovely to see. And that one play where he demanded the ball, turned and seemed to take out a season's worth of frustration on the rim was amazing!!!!! It was Shaq-esque, ha.
 
Bottom line... he played angry last night. Like how Pacheco runs. Wish he could play like that all the time, but I know it's prob. hard for him as it doesn't seem to be in his nature. If you've met him you know he's just a nice dude, always smiling, good-natured, etc. Not sure he has much of a mean streak, but granted, I've only briefly met him a few times so what do I know, ha.

Agreed. BTW, I love your Doobie Brothers lyric quote.
 
This mindset and aggressiveness is how Cliff can dominate. Make up for lack of of offensive skill by using your athleticism and explosiveness to go along with the desire. Cliff just wanted it more last night. That's how he needs to be playing game after game. The rest of the team feeds off it too
