Has anyone been noticing we force a lot of missed long range shots and those misses just falling to opponents hands for offensive rebounds?

I think something is wrong with our rebounding schemes.

It's not just a lack of height or whatever.

It could be bad luck too.

We have too many bigs with no physical strength and the one healthy big with strength is short and has a 7 inch verticle leap.

Because of our good defense, we sometimes force bad misses which cause weird bounces (or airballs).

But it seems like even if we have position on the rebounds, the opponent - regardless of their length - have their arms up and leaping while our bigs are stifflegged with their hands near their face.

I don't get it. Hopefully they are just in a daze and waiting for the regular season to end.

It really looks like they are just going through the motions. They are getting shellacked by hungrier teams, similar to last season. Let's see if they can turn it on again.


But culprit #1 is far and away Rondo. He can't get all the credit when we are going good and not escape the fact that we are the worst scoring team in the league the past month. Can't blame that on the trade, at least not on the court.
