The one thing you can take away from Zaza Pachulia's insane rebounding night is this:
Brook Lopez just really, really sucks at rebounding.
That's all there is to it, really. Zaza can no longer jump or run, but he understands how to get rebounds, and his savvy positioning allowed him to retrieve rebounds that were, by all rights, not his to retrieve. This is because Brook Lopez can only rebound a ball if a.) it comes right to him and b.) there is nobody else nearby trying to get it.
Everybody should be circling April 10th on their calendars. That is when the Bucks next play the Knicks, and that is the day when we will see Zaza grab 30 rebounds while Andrea Bargnani stands in the corner and whines about not having enough Primo pasta and sauce. Or it will be the day when Zaza is his usual worthless self. Either way, you can't not watch.
