Stat du Jour: Hawks Getting Outboarded

[lethalweapon3]

Scouring through the NBA Team Differential stats. That they show the Hawks are typically getting out-rebounded is unsurprising, particularly with the nature of their player injuries. Besides the Hawks, though, the bottom ten for net rebounding reads like a bunch of lottery hopefuls.

Bulls (-1.1)

HAWX (-1.9)

Wiz (-2.0)

Clips (-2.0)

Griz (-2.1)

Raps (-3.1)

Heat (-3.2)

Kings (-3.7)

Knicks (-4.6)

GState (-5.0)

Boston (+5.6), Cleveland (+3.2) and the LakeShow (+3.2) are among the top 5. Orlando's middle-of-the-pack, although they're top-ten in net defensive boards. I suppose when you're burying teams from beyond the stripe (+5.2 more Threes per game) like the Magic are, there's not much offensive boarding to do.
