Matchup:- Defensive assignments: Paul vs Curry, Murray vs Manu, Grant/Batum vs MPJ, Garnett vs Draymond, Amar'e vs Noah. Grant will see some Manu time as well.
- Garnett and Dikembe will be highly effective here as help defenders. Paul in itself is a very good answer to Steph. We'll take advantage of the Odom at C minutes by playing our Amar'e Garnett combo. Curry will be highly difficult to hide here against any of Paul Murray or the larger and offensively capable Grant.
- We've got very strong fits all over the court. Paul Garnett as a godly basketball IQ leadership duo, Paul Amar'e as a superb pick and roll partnership, Garnett Dikembe as a godly rim protection combo, and Paul Murray as a Paul Harden like fit.
- We've got much better defensive identity in my eyes. While Dray Noah is a solid foundation, we've got Garnett Mutombo to counter, along with much better guard and wing defense, not to mention Dray Noah offensive game overlaps too much. We've also got a more well rounded offensive game, which is more versatile with inside outside threats.
