And Utah has the luxury of trying to avoid that w/Favors on the bench.
Grizz should match Favors with Tillman
Absolutely, but then you also risk messing up the flow of the game. Utah took out Gobert early to match Favors up w/Val, and Memphis kept him in. Now Utah is ahead on the rotations, so you either put Val in and take him out very quickly, or you just ride him out and hope there is a big enough advantage over Favors there. Problem is, Favors is still a starting caliber center, so it's not as big of an advantage as you'd like. Tillman matches up with him pretty well, but I think Favors will still have a size/strength advantage that is going to give us some offensive boards. Memphis needs another physical guy there, a Mason Plumlee type player would do wonders for them against the Jazz, specifically.
