Let's come to agreement on the word "possession." The word Possession used by stat formulas like ORtg and Pace are defined by change of possession....like football possessions. Offensive rebounds don't create new "Possessions" as defined by those stats....only a change of possession does. So, both teams have the roughly the same amount of Possessions per game.

so, Offensive Rebounds give you a second chance for that possession, thus they will improve the team's ORtg.

Thanks for the explanation, HP. I might be wrong about this.

Yes what's the point in playing defense if the bricked shot is just gonna be put back in or grabbed. Rebounding will send the Rockets home early

Agreed. On offense the Rockets can play 5 point guards....it's the defense where you get destroyed.

If the Rockets out run-n-gun teams (even the Cavs & Warriors); the elite teams have the ability to slow
the "Pace" and turn to a more post up half court game as a means of opening up 3 point shots.

Ultra Small-Ball will be a liability.

We have chosen spacing over rebounding as a team concept. How can we rebound from the 3 point line? Defensively we are small so we can run. There has been only a hand full of players like Marcus Camby to ever play the game. That can do all these things --> shot, run, defend and rebound. We ask a lot as fans.
