Yes but we already know he isn't a great rebounder. It's been discussed plenty on these boards. It would be like me posting a thread bashing Joel for only scoring 6 points in the same game. Aldridge's strength isn't rebounding, just like Joel's strength isn't scoring. But they both contribute in other ways.

If we had gotten out rebounded and that had been the primary culprit for the loss then you'd possibly have a point, but that wasn't the reason the blazers dropped one against the Rockets. Once again our bench got outscored by the opposition, our outside shooters couldn't hit ****, and perimeter defense was craptacular.

I'm not sure how LMA scoring 23 on 50% shooting 3 dimes, 2 steals and 4 rebounds, and the Rockets getting a measley 6 offensive boards equates to LMA failing.
