Jazz lead the League in Rebounding

[framer]

I know it's only 3 games in, but the Jazz lead the league in rebounding. See for yourselves:

NBA Team Total Rebounds per Game

The crazy thing is, that it isn't particularly close. Jazz look to have turned things around in this area thus far. Hope they keep it up!

Favors effect. Plus one unreal rebounding game from Conley.

Also being 4th in 3PA and 18th in 3P% is a big reason as well. Lot of long rebound chances.

that's cool but where our 3Point bombs have gone away. 1st game was great and then we STOP shoot like GS.

we clean up Donny and Bogie missed shots

Jazz have been a high level rebounding team every year, they just don't try to get offensive rebounds per strategy. It seems like Royce is hitting the glass harder on the O boards, but that might just be an early season fluke thing, not sure if it's a strategy change yet

There have been some strange happenings on the boards in this early nba season... I always since im a lil kid try to keep a close watch on the battle of the boards, and i feel like ive been surprised at a lot of the things ive seen so far this year already..

Utah being at or near the top of the rebounding rankings however is not strange at all..

Well we certainly sucked at rebound in the Denver playoff series. It was a major factor why the Jazz lost. I know the season is early but a lot of the teams who were not picked as playoff contenders are playing better than expected. Looking at the league it seems like there are a lot of competition for those 8 playoff spots in each conference.

It's a little surprising, as Cy mentioned Jazz do not get many offensive rebounds. IMO they have not been a particularly good long rebounding team and in the closing moments of games for several years. Hopefully this is a sign that they have improved on those 2 areas.

Well, we sucked at rebound for the whole season prior to the Denver series, so it didn't surprised me that much.

Liking more the efforts to keep the defensive boards so far, even If the work to have defensive boards happening in first place not been really good for most of these three games.
