Rebounding issues

As discussed earlier, every single possession is important when playing a team as dangerous like the Warriors and crashing the boards is part of that.

Allowing Golden State to get possession after possession put Milwaukee in an impossible position because the Warriors are too talented on offense not to score, if given multiple opportunities. There were too many opportunities for the Bucks to play to their strengths and break out in transition but it all ended up in allowing an offensive rebound on multiple occasions.

Milwaukee-native Kevon Looney grabbed six offensive boards and it should come as no surprise that he was a +16 in the 23 minutes he saw the floor due to his activity on the glass creating extra possessions.

If the Bucks are to ever survive against high-level offenses like the Warriors or the Houston Rockets, there needs to be a small personnel change or scheme adjustment that helps them get more rebounds as we move forward.
