We are 8th in DREB's per game. We are 4th worst in OREB's per game. Making us 20th roughly in total rebounding. So yeah I agree a lot of factors go into that. The biggest ones to me being that the lineups we use and the personnel on the floor have forced us to prioritize getting back and not crashing the boards. I can live with top 10 defensive rebounding. The killer is that we get no second chance points on offense from OREB's. Mavs are 2nd worst in the NBA in second chance points. And they are only 1 point better than the Wizards for that coveted worst place spot.
--Edit--
Actually we are even worse than that. While we may get a decent # of drebs that may be partly due to pace. Our actual defensive reb% is right around the middle of NBA, then we are 2nd worst in Oreb% making our total reb% bottom 5 in the NBA. So yeah lots of factors to be that bad.
