The rebounds they could easily get themselves? No sir. You screen for your teammate when he is in a better position than you.

Sadly, that did not happen with Russell and OKC last season. They were helping him get his 10 rebounds per game bruh.

AndrewFarms:


which is better...?

your centre pushing the ball forward or your point guard...?

Eruditor:
The fastest player, breaking out to receive the ball for an easy deuce.

WeissBarlow:


LeBrons a good rebounder. Because he played PG today he finished the game with 2 boards. That's because rebounding duty falls on the front court who forward the ball to the PG who should already be in transition and ready to receive the ball.

Last year we saw the bigs of OKC helping him stat pad. He contested the third least number of 3 pointers (a point guard) with the other two being bigs.

SmooshCHN:
I like how you skipped who should grab a rebound (contested) and went straight to who should run a fast break

WeissBarlow:
Seems stat padding really pays off

VivaLaByke:

As a Laker fan,you should believe in your team more.


We are getting the W+Lonzo is having a masterclass.

lebron has been the point forward right from his days in Miami till now
if you check his stats till date he has never in a season average below 6 rebounds and or 6 assist, even with 2,4,5 rebounds in his last 3games, he is still averaging 6.8 rebounds per game in this new season
secondly lebron uses brute force and not speed, so a rebounding lebron will take more time to get to the half court than a rebounding westbrook

AndrewFarms:


Your small forwards ought to be the fastest player on court cus you expect them to break out from the wings to receive a pass which will be sent by the point guard/forward.
that's why Kyle kuz and Zo have such a beautiful chemistry on court (before Zo gets the rebound, KK has alrady gone past the half court)

WeissBarlow:


You're missing the point. This is the first time hes officially starting at a point guard since 2005. All through this season hes been starting as the SF just like all through his career. Again he had few rebounds today because as a point guard rebounding is not his primary duty.

AndrewFarms:


as i said i an only hope for the best whilst remaining realistic......
Lakers isn't a playoffs contender yet
So only a miracle will make them beat a playoff contender for now...

Have you ever asked yourself why its the bigs who inbound the ball?

AndrewFarms:


haha... very funny

Read this 2015 article, then you'll find out that lebron has been a point foward right from inception......
Bleep thats why irving left, cus lebron was always and has always been the DE-factor point guard which ever teams he plays for...
They just decided to make it official in the most recent match
thats why the bucks wants gannis to be a point forward, as the same with philly and ben simmons

VivaLaByke:

LOL...okay.

AndrewFarms:


anybody could make inbound plays buh you'll have your bigs do it so that they can set screen for the point guard in case of full court defense by opponents....
that's why you see bigs setting screen at the top of the key for pick and rolls play between the passer and the bigs or reciever

AndrewFarms:


Deep within me, I want us to qualify for the 8th seed and also Zo winning rookie of the year finishing with atleast 20 tripple doubles thereby proclaiming the second coming of magic johnson

AndrewFarms:


Thats why its called position-less basketball
like i said way early enough, everybody wanna copy the warriors....
having 2guards and 3forwards at a time, 4guards and a forward at a time ala cleveland best lineup last season during matchups

WeissBarlow:


SINCE WHEN IS A POINT GUARD AND A POINT FORWARD (UNOFFICIAL NAME FOR PLAYMAKING FORWARDS) THE SAME ?

HE OFFICIALLY STARTED AT POINT GUARD NOT SMALL FORWARD.

This isn't even the point of the argument. You're talking about point guards and rebounding. Stick to the topic.

WeissBarlow:

VivaLaByke:

He's getting a triple double tonight.
