I hope the seeding stays the same out West.

If there is a center other than Kendrick Perkins that can play Dwight Howard to a stand still in a seven game series, it's Andrew Bogut

I think Bogut struggles against centers with great athleticism.

Also, most of his defensive impact comes from his team defense rather than his one-on-one defense. I consider him a good one-on-one defender but not an exceptional one. Not a stopper.

I think Orlando would get a lot of joy from that matchup.

I don't think that Bogut can shut Howard down

But I do think he can play him to a standstill

I think Howard will probably still get his 20/15/3 in the playoffs against the Bucks but I think Bogut would still end up with 16/11/2.5 and so play Howard to a standstill

I also like the Mbah a Moute versus Lewis matchup for the Bucks but where I think the Magic still pull out the series is at the PG position and SG positions

Nelson is not given enough credit for how important he is to that team and I think he would cause Jennings fits

Carter simply will torch whoever guards him on the Bucks and if memory serves me, he has been the biggest difference between the teams in their games thus far this year
