Matchup:- Defensive assignments straight up. Gordon plays defensive minutes on both Peja and Siakam, with Millsap guarding Garnett for some of the game.
- We got great defensive guys to throw at their offensive stars, with White, Anunoby, Millsap and Gordon having good matchups and important roles in the series. The White Harden backcourt combo makes us hard to guard especially with this year's offensive improvement from White, and Kyrie may struggle.
- We built a team that should fit very well around Jokic. Spacing all around with Harden, White, Korver, Anunoby, Millsap, Bullock and reliable lob threats like Gordon. We also got some nice playmakers in White and Harden to set Jokic up.
- With Garnett having his hands full with Jokic, he'll struggle to serve as an help defender. DAJ minutes against Jokic will be great for us.
