Being killed on the boards is being killed on the boards. You can split hairs all you want but our starting PF is 24th in even defensive boards, putting him firmly in the bottom half of starting PFs.
Also, the idea that Rick doesn't want O Boards helps my point. We have a flawed roster. Rick worries about guys like Dirk getting back on defense so we don't get boards, but that makes no sense when we are 23rd in offensive efficiency. You can't be near the bottom in scoring efficiency and not try to maximize rebounds.
