Rebound, Rebound, REBOUND

In the Mavs pervious game versus the Hornets, Dallas got out rebounded 55-35. That is simply unacceptable. If the Mavs want to have a chance, then they have to be better on the glass.

Carlisle: "We're going to have to have double-figure rebounds from our guard positions, and I'm talking the one & two-guard positions."

Keeping Boogie off of the boards will be a challenge within itself, so everyone will need to put a body on someone and boxout. Guards and postmen alike will need to crash the glass after every shot.

This is a very winnable game for the Mavericks, however it could get ugly if they don’t stay aggressive rebounding and give Demarcus Cousins a difficult night.
