Daily News | Sixers head back to drawing board to correct poor rebounding, defensive struggles: ‘That’s all we drilled’
“That’s all we drilled,” Rivers said. “Ball out of the paint, we rebound. Ball in the paint, it makes rebounding hard.”NBA officials have put a recent emphasis on calling traveling, carrying and palming violations. After there was an average of 1.7 travel violations per game across the league in November, per analysis by ESPN’s Kevin Pelton, the figure doubled in November.
“It’s the hardest thing in basketball to actually see,” Rivers said. “It really is. Some of the ones that they’ve called, when we go back, they’re not. Our guys are good. That’s the one thing you learn: Our guys have amazing footwork. They put the ball on the floor at the last [millisecond] before they lift their feet, and a lot of those have been called.
The emphasis on these calls follows seasons when officials have focused on defenders preventing “freedom of movement,” or on offensive players using egregious “non-basketball moves” to draw fouls.
