Rebounding is definitely an issue for this team -- partly effort-related, but also exacerbated when they play small.
Stein said in his live chat on Sunday that the Mavs' front office thought they had one of the top four rosters in the West. If they think Josh, Doe-Doe, and Maxi are equally as skilled as Paul George, Kawhi, and even Zubac/Morris, there is no hope for improving this team. I assume they were just dishing out PR, but yikes, what if they really believe that?
