Who Matches Best Against Us in the NBA Today?

[GreenlyGreeny]

We seem unstoppable, but we all know basketball is a game of matchups, so who currently matches up best against us when everyone is healthy? The Bucks? The Warriors?

1. Warriors offense.
2. Bucks defense.
3. Nets playmakers.
4. Clippers depth.
5. Cavs energy.
6. Heats swagger.

7. Lakers refs.

Think any of these teams would present elite problems. C’s need to take any team they face seriously.

I'd say our biggest threat is the Bucks. The Cavs beat us twice though. If they give us trouble again next time we play them, I'd be worried about that matchup in the playoffs.  I currently don't fear any team in the West.

I agree.

This as well. Some teams play as well like the cavs, bullss, heat. But in a 7 game series the only team Im worried about are the Bucks.

Milwaukee.  They've got Giannis plus four starters who can stretch the floor, they've got size and length, and they can play elite defense.  Plus, they're only 1.5 games behind us right now, despite their offense so far being relatively mediocre so far.

  Bucks for sure. They’re scary.

[cletus1985]

I definitely think the bucks are our #1 competition.  Health is a big factor as well and if the clippers get healthy I think they could be a match-up nightmare. Everyone being healthy I think these are the only teams we'd really struggle with in a 7 game series.

Bucks. Cavs are a good second as they seem to play us well and took both W's.

Can't sleep on the 76ers either esp when Harden and Embiid are both healthy.

[PAOBoston]

I think teams with size and length in general will give Cs trouble. Bucks are the obvious team here. Best player in the NBA and competent roster with championship aspirations experience.

[SHAQATTACK]

Apparently the Cavs , then Bucks and Warriors ,   Heat are over rated and play above their talent .

But I look for us to beat Clips and and lose to Lakes as AD get 50 and 20 and because they are at home and own the refs.

[Roy H.]

Also apparently the Chicago Bulls.

Tatum plays for the Celtics not the Bucks.

Add the Warriors to this list, as well. That was the very same team that we lost to in June 2022, so the C's need to get over that hump.

Any team that has solid perimeter shooters will match up well against us if we are missing Al or Timelord. It forces us into difficult choices defending pick and rolls.
