You are right! Z is a wonderful Volleyball player and should be congratulated. His offensive rebounds are clearly a result of his hard work.
On November 25, 2006 the Cavs played the Philadelphia 76ers.
Z had 12 offensive rebounds that night! That statistic is very impressive, unless you actually know something about basketball.
Here are three play-by-play examples from that game that show why Z got so many offensive rebounds that night. Half of his 12 offensive rebounds were recorded during these three examples. They resulted in Z scoring ZERO points! Please stop being an ignorant "homer" and educate yourself!
7:12 Ilgauskas Jump Shot: Missed Block: Randolph (1 BLK)
7:10 Ilgauskas Rebound (Off:2 Def
7:07 Ilgauskas Layup Shot: Missed Block: Dalembert (1 BLK)
4:52 Ilgauskas Tip Shot: Missed
4:52 Ilgauskas Rebound (Off:3 Def:1)
4:51 Ilgauskas Tip Shot: Missed
4:51 Ilgauskas Rebound (Off:4 Def:1)
4:49 Ilgauskas Tip Shot: Missed
11:37 Ilgauskas Rebound (Off:6 Def:1)
11:35 Ilgauskas Layup Shot: Missed
11:33 Ilgauskas Tip Shot: Missed
11:33 Ilgauskas Rebound (Off:7 Def:1)
11:32 Ilgauskas Tip Shot: Missed
11:32 Ilgauskas Rebound (Off:8 Def:1)
Maximus put these ignorant posters to rest when you see this.
Firstly I better correct my original statement, Z passed John "Hot Rod" Williams, not Brad Daugherty. What makes this impressive is that Ilgauskas has played 150 less games.
But anyway the haters will hate no matter what facts are in front of them. You must have had a tough time having to put up with a top 5 center the best part of the last decade.

Ignorant means not admitting that Z misses a ton of bunnies? He makes up for a lot of those because he is able to grab his own miss and in addition he does grab a lot of other offensive boards but since his foot injuries he does get a lot of his offensive boards off his own misses. Certainly more then the average good rebounder in the league

I find this hilarious...........2 consecutive possesions he got the ball stolen away from him under the hoop by..................Brevin Knight!
10:33 Zydrunas Ilgauskas lost ball (Brevin Knight steals)
10:12 Zydrunas Ilgauskas lost ball (Brevin Knight steals)
10:33 Zydrunas Ilgauskas lost ball (Brevin Knight steals)
10:12 Zydrunas Ilgauskas lost ball (Brevin Knight steals)
It shall be interesting to see what happens when Z (currently 3rd) takes over as the Cavs all time leader in shots blocked. I guess it will be like this...
"Why is Z blocking shots? He should be allowing the guy to shoot and hopefully when he misses, he will get the rebound"
And for all the people all heiling our great center Brad Daugherty, he basically averaged a turnover more a game then Z. I love Daugherty, so I'm not knocking him at all. But lets keep it as objective as possible.
Z just broke a Cavalier record and still he is mocked. Truly people need to grow up.

Yao Ming got stuffed by Nate Robinson....It could be worse.
Z is a great player. I hope to the Good Lord that in game 7 of the NBA Finals LBJ misses the game winning 3, Z gets the rebound and dishes it back out, and he hits it.

While watching the Brad Daugherty highlights at the game yesterday, I thought about all the people who use to complain about Brad being "soft". If Brad was "soft", then Z is a Twinkie!

This is more realistic
Game 7 NBA Finals...
10 seconds to go, Cavs down by 1.
James right of the lane, drives and passes to a wide open Z.
Z misses the layup...
Z tips...Z tips...Z tips...Z tips...Z tips...BUZZZZZZZZZ
Z Fans - "Wow did you see Z get those 5 offensive rebounds! What a great offensive rebounder!"
Cavs Fans - "What in the hell was Z doing? Why didn't he grab the ball with two hands and dunk it?"

Why is being realistic and not looking at the team through Wine and Gold colored glasses a bad thing?

Z needs to keep getting those offensive rebounds. So far this season that usually about the only way he gets any touches in the offense.
I also don't understand why Z's ability to rebound offensively and keep the ball and possession alive is thought by some to be a negative.
Brad Daugherty easily could have played 7 more seasons if the back injury didn't force him to retire so early. It's amazing when you consider how many years he lost and what that injury may have cost the Cavs.
Daugherty also was regularly criticized by many fans. I think big men are just easy targets.
