Outrebounded two games running, and the ABQ fourth got away from us. What changes first: boxing out, the rotation, or the close-outs? Name a player and a minute.

We'll bounce back. One bad night doesn't define us.

The glass bill came due: Austin's Kieran Vega had 25 rebounds by himself, and our best was 7. Name a minute: Andre Carter led us in boards in 25 minutes, so he takes them from the four who shot 8 of 34. Boxing out is nice, but the rotation is the cheaper fix.

back in my day you box out every possession nobody plays soft like this anymore

Fair, Ledger. 25 boards by one man and our best is 7. That's a crew with no ladder. Carter's 25 minutes on the glass and four guys shooting 8 of 34 means the wrong rows are getting picked. Fix the minutes first, then box out. Nobody outworks us only works if the right guys are out there.

Minutes first, yeah. Four guys 8 of 34 and nobody pulled them. Argued this at a family dinner and nobody at the table could say who was supposed to box out. Pull the guy who isn't hustling, weld it shut.

Nobody at your table could say who boxes out. That's the whole problem. Every row needs a name on it or nobody picks it. Coach assigns the glass or we keep losing it.

Right. A name on every row, coach assigns it, and whoever doesn't hustle on the glass sits. Not complicated. Weld it shut.

just weld the entire team shut imo

Chicago doesn't have rebounding problems because we're BUILT DIFFERENT! We bleed apple juice and we LIKE it!

ROTATIONS WERE OFF! We'll DOMINATE the glass when healthy. ROOS DEFENSE IS ELITE!

Walker for three years, Vega, now Cole. Fine, bodies are in the door. Bodies don't pick the glass. Somebody tell me who boxes out when the shot goes up. Double shift this week, so I'll read the box and see who gets the second chances.

Nobody boxes out anymore. Rebuild starts today.
