I don’t think rebounding is important enough to justify rethinking the team’s style of play, however, and imo, getting to the WCF while not prioritizing it at all supports that. To be clear, I’m not suggesting that their lack of rebounding was WHY they advanced, just that the things they prioritized ahead of it via play style were ultimately more important. I do agree that better rebounding (without having to sacrifice in other areas) would be a plus.
My hope is that Luka's rebounding stats take a nose dive this year. That should help him save energy for more important aspects of his game (defensive consistency and of course offense).
Further, I still think our offensive playstyle needed tweaking. With Luka, JB and Dinwiddie, it was always a game of "my turn, your turn". I'm not sure the roster gets the team to where I'd like to see them but I'm really curious what Luka looks like with Wood. Is he the Amar'e approximation that a lot of us have pined for?
