"D'Antoni was asked how uneasy the Lakers' make him: "I feel comfortable because I think we're better than they are. I think we're better than anybody in the league. Will there be some rebounds we don't get? Yeah, that just means we have to play better at moving the ball. We have to shoot it better. We have to run better."

This is Dantoni stands why we are horrible in rebounding and I think he will stick to it. He has a point but my question is, are we going to average 45 - 50 percent in FG in the playoffs?

haha! i suddenly remember what Mike said...apparently he was wrong. We shot above 50 percent and still loss the game.

You missed his point. If we can shoot well, we can overcome our shortcoming in the rebounding department, yes, but not WHEN YOU'RE GETTING OUT-REBOUNDED BY LIKE 20 something. That's just pathetic. We shoot 50% and lost the game by 10, you don't think the result would be different if we can grab like 10 more rebound and take care the ball to limit our mistake to about 13, which is our average? Again, we don't have to out-rebound teams to win games, we can out-shoot them and out-assist them, and then keep the rebounding respectable and we should be fine for most games.

Going back to the thread title, a better question would be, "Will there be some rebounds we DO get?" I think the answer's yes, but I'm not sure.
