Well it certainly helps. Especially with all those bricks being thrown up.

but it can cause bad transition defense?

This is probably one of the reasons why our D has been so poor. When everybody is crashing the boards it leaves either Jennings or Bynum outnumbered in transition, and they'll just gamble for a steal and allow the opposition easy fast break points.

Getting offensive boards is important and it should be one of our strengths due to the size of our front court but I think it's important to have a balance, so that our transition defense isn't damaged by it and atm our D is poor, so perhaps we haven't achieved that balance.

Its a good thing because

It negates FG% by giving your team extra FGAs

Its a bad thing because

It means your throwing a ton of bricks.

Can anybody give me our rank in offensive fouls committed?

Not necessarily....If you look at the link, you'll notice the Pistons are also atop the league in offensive rebounding rate (although they are subpar at defensive rebounds).

Pistons are 17th in FG%, so Im not sure its fair to say that we are "throwing up bricks" all the time.

well it could also mean your shooting too many long range jumpers.

that's also inflated by the easy putbacks Drummond and Monroe get though.

a team like Miami is on pace to set the lowest offensive rebounding rate in NBA history, but they still have a dynamite offense. the pistons, on the other hand, have one of the better offenses in the league BECAUSE of their offensive rebounding. the difference between the two teams is that the heat have five defenders back on most of their possessions, ready to play defense. if people are crashing the boards that naturally gives you less numbers in transition D.

the pistons don't have an offense nearly as good as the heat, it's just that simple. in this case I would say it is a good thing because the pistons are not necessarily getting burned in transition because their half-court defense has been atrocious as well. if the pistons kept doing what they were doing but tightened up their half-court defense this would not be much of a discussion.
