Jeff Green has brought in a grand total of 1 rebound in the last 2 games, averaging 21 mins/game.
If Conley isn't hitting his shots, he seems useless.
Why does he even stand under the basket on the defensive end if he isn't going to fight for a rebound.
Only way it happens is by moving Joe and Dante (contractually). But it’s a very interesting point, even if everyone hates the idea. We can talk about boxing out, but everyone not named Gobert is poor rebounding, not just in general but for their position, for their entire careers. Nobody even rebounds well compared to SFs. If Gobert contests a shot, there’s nobody there for a rebound. Talk about boxing out all you want, you’re either a rebounder or you’re not. As much as people act like Love would be a defensive sieve, it’s important to look at what not securing defensive boards costs.
If Joe continues to contribute as little as he has, it’s a valid question (for us fans, FO ain’t making that move).
Mitchell got plenty of calls, but they stopped calling the fouls for him the last 3 plays and they kept calling fouls for Leonard. Even if we learn how to rebound the ball, what's stopping the refs from calling bs fouls for Leonard and George down the stretch?Stop. DM got plenty of calls in the 4th. We didn't rebound, plain and simple, and until we figure that out we'll be a 6-8 seed at best.
Effort can help, but rebounding is about size and strength. The Jazz decided to put rebounding low on their priority list by trading Favors and trading for a tiny 34million dollar point guard. Now that's fine if you can win your games through offensive excellence, but currently at 23rd in the league in offense, the plan is off to a bad start.
watch him, he’s just standing around not doing anything...he’s not rebounding, he’s not playing defense and just waiting around to jack up a few outside shots...even worse, he’s up off the bench, right beside Snyder, telling Donovan what to do like he’s some wily vet ...not a fan right now (so Shirley he’ll score 30 next game since I’m writing all this)...Jeff Green has brought in a grand total of 1 rebound in the last 2 games, averaging 21 mins/game.
And then parks himself in the corner on offense?
Rebounding is for sure our bigger problem but outside Mitchell we haven't had a consistent scorer and I think the offensive sets are the real problem. Discombobulated mess most times down. I'm hoping with a little practice time we can get things figured out. We've only given up over 100 points this one time. That should be good enough to win games with even a semblance of organized offense and more than one weapon.
