Any thoughts on
C: Ben Wallace
PF: Tim duncan
SF: Ron Artest
With two picks tomorrow to close out the starting 5
C - Duncan
PF - Big Ben
SF - Artest
Better switch that back vs the Lakers...KG outplays Ben according to head-to-head finder.
Tim outplays Yao by a small margin.
They'll be cross-checking in that matchup because Yao cannot defend Duncan. He doesn't have the foot-speed to step away from the rim and defend Duncan in the mid-to-high post, in pick and roll/pop action or in transition. Garnett has to check Duncan to have an effective defensive matchup.
Luckily, Big Ben is a limited offensive player so Yao can cover him. If there was a more talented offensive PF there, then LA couldn't switch and (team name) would slowly pick apart Yao's defensive weaknesses all series long (which my team can also not do because of Shaq's limited game away from the basket).
I'd put Big Ben on Garnett and Duncan on Yao on the other end. There is not a lot in it either way but it's how I'd matchup against them.
