Being murdered on the boards could be a result of settling for jumpers (and possibly missing). If you take it inside, you're more likely to get an easy shot, a foul, or an offensive rebound.

Doc pointed out before the game that Rondo is the only guard that knows our entire offensive package, so that's why our offense was so limited in Washington with Tony Allen running it. On top of that, Rondo is the only guard on our team that can handle tough ball pressure. Tony Allen stops my heart every time he dribbles in a one-on-one situation, Eddie House gets swallowed up despite his speed, and Ray Allen usually gets it across half but then gets trapped in the corner. We need Rondo to be healthy, but we also need a backup come playoff time or we're going to have problems.

Hopefully one day, someone on the bench will point out that if we need rebounds, we should put a wide body like Perkins or Davis to create some space.
