1. Sending our 2-3 best defenders to the rim would hang our lesser defenders (wing guys) out to dry, which would probably result in bursts of scoring from the opposition. With nobody to protect the rim in transition we'd see a lot of early fouls on Derozan and Gay. That would be debilitating.
2. Honestly if we focus on getting shots closer to the rim we shouldn't have to worry so much about following up. I know that's a blanket statement, but since we shot a ridiculous amount of long 2's there won't have to be much change to the offense in order to find better looks. I think that should be way more of a focus than offensive rebounding.
I dunno. I would never say that we shouldn't, but there's so many things we need to work on, offensive rebounds seems to be somewhat of a tweak after you get all of the other systems in place. Until we nail down our offense and transition defense I think we'd be setting ourselves up for a faster-paced game, and when you don't shoot efficiently that could mean a lot of blowouts.
