I um... may have seen some videos that start like this...

I do hope that somebody in Jazz management sees this thread because I think it's a valid point of emphasis that needs to be addressed. And it's not just this team either - last year in team rebounding we were #9 and the year before that we were #20.
 
While there is plenty of blame to go around start by telling Jeff Green he needs to start rebounding or we're going to start chipping away at his minutes and give them to someone who will.

1.5 RPG at 20mpg for a 4/5 is an embarrassment.
 
May need to unleash Brantley... get some reps now so he's possibly ready to help later.
 
Overall this is the team they built, and the trade-off they thought would yield the best results. I don't think anyone thought that anyone outside of Davis was much of a rebounder, but even Davis wouldn't really have helped us last night. It was our normal closing squad getting absolutely schooled on the boards. Bojan, Ingles, even Mitchell and Conley as much as they can need to crash the ****ing boards. They did look lazy and flat-footed. We need way more effort from them if we expect to maintain and even be average. Gobert cannot do it all and I think he is starting to get frustrated by the whole thing. We need to be the team flying in from the top of the key to corral the ball, not the team standing there watching the ball get away. It's embarrassing. They should be forced to watch video of them standing flat footed as whoever that was in Sacramento came running in to win the game 100 times with their eyes glued open. It's a disgrace.
 
Replace Jeff Green in the rotation with Georges Niang or Jarrell Brantley. Green isn't going to rebound unless the ball falls right into his hands.

Take Conley out of the closing line-up, play Mitchell on the ball (which they do anyway), play Royce at the 2, and play Jingles at the 4 as a designated rebounder. So you close with Mitchell/Royce/BoJingles/Rudy. That's enough offense, since Mitchell is really the go-to scorer at that point in the game. Conley is just sitting in the corner on offense anyway, and Royce or Joe Ingles can do that just fine.

For real. Rodman is only 6'7 and is one of the greatest rebounders and defenders ever.

Here's a video for the Jazz:

Rodman was great not only because he boxed out. His effort and anticipation for where the ball would go off the rim were unparalleled.
 
This was my biggest concern over the summer, could find the few posts but it doesn't really matter. Too be honest the last 2 years it was a problem just not as blatant because it generally was only noticeable against select teams in the closing few minutes of games.

Eexample team OKC previous 2 years and specific example playoff game Jazz won the series but gave up multiple offensive rebounds but OKC never made the shots.

As was stated when Gobert and Favors were on the court the rest of the team didn't have to really worry about rebounds, however this wasn't the lineup that closed. Everyone loves Crowder and he was a hustle player but his hustle when it comes to rebounding was a bit overrated IMO.

Jazz players might be who they are and I am and have been disappointed in Green's rebounding. I am holding out hope that once the Jazz have a chance to actually have a day off to watch film and practice they will see how glaringly putrid the rebounding has been. As well as Quin can possibly scheme, adjust or maybe just show how players are just plain out of position to even give themselves a chance for a rebound. Cause Damn, Just Damn this rebounding.
 
I'd like to petition all the local media to start using the term "defensive reboun" or just spell "reboun". Cause the Jazz start out playing tough Defense but cannot finish the defensive possession, so no finishing D no "d" in rebound.

This. I’ve actually thought this often since Quin arrived. Our guys have always seemed to just watched the ball instead of boxing out. Really surprised that such a simple skill isn’t routinely performed
 
Many teams have abandoned offensive rebounding in favor of transition defense... maybe its just not been something we have emphasized. Maybe teams are recognizing we are vulnerable and are willing to make the trade off since our half court defense is so stingy.
 
What if the biggest issue isn't rebounding... the last two games it was an obvious issue, but overall our turnovers and complete lack of offensive rebounding have really dragged the offense down. We were supposed to be a better offensive team this year... we've been bad... we are basically last in turnovers and offensive rebounds... gives us less shot attempts... turnovers also lead to transition opportunities. Other than shooting improvement the biggest thing I expected from Mike was less turnovers.

We are 6th in the league on defensive rebound rate... just saying.

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I’m inching toward the panic button with Conley. At the very least, he still looks 10 games away on some pretty basic facets of running the offense. And way further away from being able to take over games for stretches... which is precisely why we went and paid a ransom for him.

I had visions of George Hill who came in and just gave us exactly the best case of what we thought he could from day one.

I think Quin needs to re-visit parts of the offense. We are a high turnover team every year... I don't know. Not panicking on Mike yet. I think you can chalk up the first few to being new and then he's had a good game... an average game... and a bad game.

I don't understand how teams are getting in and stopping the Rudy lob without us getting a ton of 3 point attempts. I'm not smart enough to figure out what is going on.
