Some ugly Celtics rebounding stats

This is going to be the single laziest post ever written. The thing is, I’m headed over to Springfield College to watch Doc Rivers’ son, Austin, play in Springfield’s high school basketball tournament, the HoopHall Classic.

Still, I read a Sports Illustrated article about the C’s rebounding woes and it certainly warrants mentioning. Here are two tables of stats from the article:

Celtics’ Rebounding Rates, Last Three Seasons
SeasonOReb %RKDReb %RKTReb %RKReb. Diff.
2007-080.266180.74480.5194+3.12
2008-090.27980.75630.5282+4.54
2009-100.245250.733170.50018+0.03
Celtics’ Second-Chance Points Per Game, Last Three Seasons
SeasonCelticsOpp.Diff.
2007-0812.912.5+0.5
2008-0912.711.1+1.6
2009-1011.413.1-1.7

The Celts are struggling on the glass, and I haven’t seen better stats to explain just how much.

    I was scanning something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your linear perspective on it is diametrically opposed to what I read earlier. I am still pondering over the opposite points of view, but I’m leaning to a great extent toward yours. And no matter, that’s what is so super about advanced democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.
