espn article on offensive rebounding, stopping transiton buckets and small ball

[Miggs]

Interesting article about how a majority of the league de-emphasizes offensive rebounds in order to stop transition buckets.

I put it here because it gets more traction and mentions the Jazz as a team who goes against the grain, so to speak, by going big.

I'll bite. I don't think you can really get ahead by much through line upon line copying your competition and trying to do it better. I think when you can do something really different, you have a better chance at getting a significant edge.

I like the fact that we go big while everybody is trying to go small. We have to do it with quick bigs which can defend the stretch 4, I am hoping that our offense can develop further to where we just go after matchups every time down the floor until the opposite teams small ball is at a crippling disadvantage defensively. I feel like we haven't been able to achieve that so far, but I think it should be feasible against certain teams and their small lineups. I think Favors is getting to the point where he does it on occasion.

The Warriors have swung the pendulum of the NBA, can the Jazz be the ones to send it the other direction?
