It's a personnel problem. I don't think there are any ways to get into the top half, or even close to it frankly, in terms of defense and rebounding, without changing the roster. When your point guard is your best rebounder, you have a problem.
But you know what? This team is pretty damn good, and I'm enjoying the hell out of this season so far. I had lost hope last season and was just waiting for Luka to demand a trade. No more.
