but he was majorly soft on D, as we all witnessed.

Timmie was good, but pretty soft too. He is understandably playing much better this --his second-- season.

They really had no one who could match up physically against Yoeli.

If they were to face last year's team, I'd expect Few to turn to Ballo (baby Shaq) to give good minutes against Yoeli. But really, regardless of what Yoeli could or couldn't do against their bigs, it wouldn't matter with how thoroughly their backcourt would spank our team from last year.

Yoeli woulda given us our ONLY mismatch. I think our team this year might POSSIBLY give us two key edges in Gideon (on Kispert) & Lohner (on Watson), which wouldn't be near enough to pull out a victory. (If we had Gavin to guard Kispert --allowing Gideon to cover Ayayi-- & bring Lowell in to give us another scoring mismatch — I think then we might just be able to make up for the huge deficit we give up to them at the PG spot.)
