What qualifies as a “massive” offensive rebound?

Its interesting.
You could really make a case where RW or PG would really be the best players on a lot of current playoff teams. And you still have Adams, Grant, Schroder, Noel, Ferguson as interesting pieces to complement to really powerful players. Why aint we doing it this season ?
Every single season Billy had an excuse to put out, injuries, late roster changes, late additions.

This year there is none of that. We still didnt achieve our peak, we still dont have a defensive, or offensive identity.

And we are really gonna go all out on Russ, and even PG, saying they are the ones crippling our team.

Billy, GTFO !

Well those 3 guys account for 53.4 % of our 3PA. The rest of the way, we're shooting 30.9 % from 3. But it's not just the 3s:

-We're 21st in FG% in the restricted area
-We're 29th in FG% in the non-restricted area paint
-We're 24th in FG% from midrange
-We're 19th in FG% on corner 3s
-We're 21st in FG% on above the break 3s
-We're 28th in FT%

We don't move the ball and we stand around a lot. And when we shoot, we miss more than other teams. When we get fouled, we can't make FTs.
"I don't know of any player that, when the shot goes up, he doesn't want it to go in," Donovan said
