Mavs could lead the league in rebounding and the same posters would still make a case based on a single game or a single possession were the Mavs gave up offensive rebounds.
I think it's based on the girth, reputation and individual rebounding numbers of our individual players. Team rebounding is irrelevant in the mind of some.
Yeah, it's not like our pencil-necked geeks have been outmuscled for key, end-of-game rebounds at the end of recent games or anything.
That´s exactly what I mean. We watch the game and remember the offensive rebound for the opponent in the 4th quarter. Meanwhile we forget the countless occasions where the Mavs outrebounded the opponent. Sneaky putbacks by DFS or tap outs by Maxi.
The Mavs don´t have a dominant individual rebounder and they don´t need one. 6 players are averaging more than 1 OREB per game. 2 players are averaging 9+ REBs. 4 additional ones average 5+.
