I think it would be interesting to see which team could slow down the other's best player (Shaq or Durant) in this series better than the other.
Boston does have a big front line, although Pau is not a physical presence at all. Can Marc and Sheed limit Shaq? One great way to limit a post presence like him is to stop the entry pass. I'm not sure if they can, though. Nash is not likely to offer much resistence there, so can Marc Gasol use his size and smarts to 'front' Shaq in the post? Horford's passing ability from the high post, however, makes that a much more difficult task. Giving Al the option of feeding Shaq, driving to the rim, or if Boston sends help into the lane, the option of hitting an open Peja or Reggie for three is a marvelous weapon to have.
Utah seems like they will struggle to find defenders to slow Durant from doing whatever he wants. Jaylen Brown might be their best bet, but that would mean taking one of Reggie or Peja off the court, and losing a fair amount of shooting prowess. How much has Jaylen defended KD historically, and how has he fared?
