It was definitely a strange matchup to lose. I felt like my team was built to play against them. If you were to pick any defender all time to try and slow down LeBron I would put Artest near the top of that list. He may be the only sf that is physically stronger than him. I loved the Penny versus Nash matchup. Penny would eat him alive on the offensive end and had the size, length and quickness to bother him defensively. Jordan versus Carter is a great matchup as well. Jordan gets his offensively while slowing down Carter. Then in the frontcourt I have reigning defensive player of the year and another all nba defender. Offensively both guys can stretch the floor and Embiid can dominate from anywhere offensively. Maybe I value Penny higher than most of you since he was one of my favorite players as a kid but he was so damn good his 2nd year in the league. Just a beast.
