I was able to correctly guess and switch Mehta onto Schmaltz, and I tried to slow down Milner by switching Harris to PG since he was my best defender, but those moves only had slightly better results than part 1 of the 1st round. I didn't have the defensive capabilities to stop all 3 of Milner/Schmaltz/Hubbard no matter what I did.
Good series, Bucks. Game 4 in particular was a see-saw nail-biter.
Milner was the difference maker - very efficient game in and out, and has been a man possessed the past month and a bit. The decision to move Harris on him made alot of sense - but you make a good point - more attention on Richard freed up Hubbard to be a bit more effective, and Harris had played him real tough the first few of games. Funny thing is, going back to the off-season, I acquired Hubbard for guys just like Natt, though at the time he was a Hornet - and am just glad it worked out.
Overall, I was happy with how Wooten/Schmalz v. Mehta played out. Rex forced alot of shots and TO's by way of blocks, but both my bigs (well, Koncak too for a bit) played him tough and gave him a workout in their own ways. I can just picture Mehta and Schmalz going at it, they both stuffed the stat sheets - musta been pretty intense.
On to the Pacers - who are another tough matchup. Howard and Schulz have killed the Nets in the playoffs during my tenure, so I'm not looking forward to it. I would have liked to have Woot on Dwight, if only to body and hack the hell out of him for 6 fouls a game, so I'll have to give someone else some burn to give it a shot. In our last couple of matchups - which we split, Woot did a good job on Dwight, but Milner had some bad games. Should be interesting to say the least - and I think the Indy homecourt advantage will be huge.
