Jaynes calls out Blazers rebounding

[Ed O]

While rebounding is important, it is worth noting that of the Top 10 teams in rebounding rate, only 6 of them are/will be in the playoffs.

4) Minnesota
5) LA Clippers
7) Sacramento
7) Charlotte

won't be in the playoffs.

Portland is tied at 19th with Atlanta and Boston.

It is an interesting point... rebounding seems important for any given game, but over time rebounding doesn't seem too strongly correlated with success.

Bad teams miss more shots.

I wouldnt say it has correlation to success. But I still think it cant hurt you like overdribbling, overpassing, or shooting too much can.

wow the game of basketball is really evolving....i didnt know rebounds were more important that actual points now? as long as we have more points at the end of the game than our opponent thats okay with me. Jaynes bitches because he is a journalist and hes supposed to....MIXUM....who knows

Rebounding alone won't make a bad team good. OTOH, getting outrebounded is like having more turnovers than the other team. You are giving away possesions, and making life harder for yourself. You can't score if the other team has the ball, and you create needless pressure on your defense.

I'm late to this fascinating thread but in my opinion any thread that starts off with -

wtf is going on here? 2 threads deleted in 1 day? natebishop now is just targeting me for no reason. bias.

isn't going to end well and the majority of discussions aren't going to be about basketball.


And just so you know Mixum I closed one thread yesterday because S2 members and mods only wanted to argue about things that had nothing to do with basketball. I issued a fair warning and when the arguing wouldn't end I close it.

He re-edited it. I had edited the post to say that he could not post an article in its entirety and without proper citation.

Thanks for the information. Like I said I'm late to the party.

Bad teams miss more shots.

Rebound rate accounts for that, though. It's total percentage of available rebounds for a team vs. their opponent.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

First off, I can't believe I'm making a seriousish post in a Mixum thread, but....

Rebounding IS Important, and the Blazers need to improve. However, looking at the Orlando game for evidence is kinda silly. The point of rebounding is to give your team more scoring opportunities than your opponent. In the Orlando game, that was accomplished - we have 10 more FGs and 3 more FTs (11.5 net possessions). The problem in that game wasn't rebounding - it was shooting. We shot 43.2%.

I would be curious at the difference between those teams and the teams they play in rebounds and if they were neg or pos as well as how many O rebounds per game. That is what seems to hurt the Blazers a lot is O rebounds.

I'm really surprise LA gets off so easy when it comes to rebounds. Howard wasn't playing so you think LA would get more than 3 rebounds.

Looking at the mins last nite Wallace played as many mins as anyone except for LA so I don't know what the problem is.

The problem is Wallace feels betrayed . . . it's right there in the article.
