We just simply don't play many good rebounders.

I agree with the first part entirely. The second part, I think our guys are better natural rebounders than the production would indicate. We don't have the best rebounding personnel in the league, but we should be very serviceable. I think real problem is that they often need to be more active and aggressive about collecting the ball (again, except Tyson, who is very active 95% of the time).
I mean, there is no excuse for not getting a rebound when we have three guys 6'7" and above standing right under the basket, with only one opposing player near them. But it's happened time and time again this season.
