re: Asik has 0 4th Q minutes, Warriors grab 10 offensive boards

I know that Asik seems like the answer, but I don't think it would have mattered.

The Warriors would have switched him onto Curry or Thompson with PnR after PnR and he would have been out of the paint anyway. I doubt Kerr goes back to Bogut when they're cooking without him. Maybe that means Davis can grab more boards, but he was getting pushed all over the court down the stretch.

I said it before the series: the entire team needs to rebound v the Warriors. 3PA make OREB unpredictable. The problem for the Pelicans is that they only have 2 guys that can rebound on the entire roster and they don't have the size/versatility to match up with that small Warriors lineup. The guards, minus Holiday, were fairly bad last night.

Just as big a problem to me was the way the offense froze down the stretch. 7 points over the final 14 possessions will lose a playoff game every single time. That they couldn't generate good offense with Bogut out is maddening.

ETA: Kerr deserves much credit for having his bigger and better athletes crashing the glass in the 4th.
