[QUOTE="Vermilion Slim, post: 1187645, member: 588137"] I can certainly understanding the reasons to favor transition defense over offensive rebounding, especially given our personnel. That being said, the truly frustrating thing for me is when there seems to be a lack of in-game adjustments when the commitment to transition defensive is obviously not helping. For example, I feel like the Indiana game was a perfect situation where Groce (or one of the assistants) would pretty quickly say "geez, they are nailing threes no matter what we do, maybe we should just try and fight for offensive boards and extend our defense a bit to see if we can disrupt their flow." I'm sure they have these conversations and I would think there are tons of nuances and reasons they choose not to adjust (or maybe I don't notice), but as a fan it can be infuriating to watch!
