Sorry, I posted the wrong stats. The Heat are actually the 8th worst rebounding team in regards to differential. The worst teams are the Kings and Mavs. The best teams are the Pacers and Grizz.

This is why I laugh that Heat fans seem to think their team is unbeatable. Bulls, Knicks, Pacers, hell any team that can massively outrebound them on the boards and lock down everyone outside the big 3 can win....

The '95 Rockets are one team that comes to mind. They were a below average rebounding team.

Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot them with that 4 out/1 in system with Hakeem surrounded by shooters. It didn't give them many offensive rebounding opportunities and they were playing a smaller lineup more frequently as opposed to the previous year when Thorpe was a key player so they were hurt on the defensive boards as well. The '94 Rockets weren't a good rebounding team overall either because of the system, but that's deceptive. Their system prevented them from getting many second chances, but they were still a good defensive rebounding team with Hakeem and Thorpe as well as Horry at the 3.
