Starting a fast break instead of making sure the defensive rebound is securied is a terrible thing to see.
Why?
It works great in the regular season.
But come playoff time; bad, bad, bad.
How many time do we have to see teams the run at the expense of defense put up great regular season records only to flame out in the playoffs?
I don't care about the Celtics offensive rebounding numbers. A lot of that came from Leon Powe chasing to many shots when better defensive big men like Perk and KG were busy making sure they could get down court in time to set up the defense.
Defensive rebounding, that's a must.
