I am a firm believer that rebounding is all about heart and dedication. This is just embarrassing, IMO. Championship teams don't come in next to last in rebounding. I know KG has been hurt. But, Sheed needs to get his ass away from the arc and Doc needs to demand it. I always felt that this team's weakness would be rebounding, but this is just embarrassing.

“I think it’s the same thing with our defense and the same thing with our offense,’’ he said. “It has nothing to do with what we’re doing, it’s nothing to do with the people, it’s just making an effort to do it.
“I know our guys can rebound. I have seen them do it.’
“I don’t think we need a rebounder, I think we need to rebound,’’ said coach Doc Rivers. “It’s amazing, we’ve added length to our team but everybody’s numbers are down.
“If you want to be a great team, you have to rebound better.’’
