another game the Warriors shouldn't have lost.... but it came down to rebounds, and not even attempting to get them for 80% of the game.
Literally, 4-5 offensive rebounds that lead to a few extra buckets, and a few defensive rebounds that prevent a few extra buckets, and that basically wins them 90% of the games they lost.
There is seriously no effort on rebounds. no box outs. everyone just retreats to defense once a shot goes up, unless they're named McKinney or Jerebko. Half the time, a Warrior or 2 just need to stick around for 2-3 more seconds, and the ball would literally bounce right to them.
or instead of ball watching and retreating, find a body and box them the **** out. FUNDAMENTALS.
it's part of the damn game. they better stop waiting till the game is almost over then trying to fight for the offensive rebounds. Game coulda been won earlier if 1-2 just kinda hung around, and maybe if just 1 actually tried to position themselves for the rebound.
Cousins would've been so damn handy in this series. He slows us down, but the brotha can rebound and score in the paint.
