Team rebounding



Despite Antoine's relatively weak rebounding, the overall team rebounding
has been good so far. In fact, Boston is 7th in the league in rebounding
differential at +3.2 rebounds/game. Now the top rebounding teams are
not necessarily the best teams, because sometimes you get a lot of rebounds
just because you miss a lot of shots - for instance Washington is first
at +5.3. But if you take the intersection of the top 10 teams in rebounding
with the top 10 teams in FG%, you get:

TEAM		REBOUND RANK	FG% RANK
Minnesota	2 (+5.3)	5 (46.2)
Utah		4 (+4.0)	6 (46.0)
Miami		5 (+3.6)	2 (47.5)
Vancouver	7 (+3.2)	4 (46.3)
Boston		7 (+3.2)	7 (45.8)

Vancouver is the evident exception to good rebounding leading to wins.
