1. TWolves - Gobert, Kat, Reid - we finally have some size to go against these guys
2. Nuggets - Jokic - no match for him
3. OKC - They dont have a Center unless you count Chet
4. Clippers - Zubac - he kills us on the boards but we usually play him off the court by making him guard Luka
5. Suns - Nurkic
6. Pelicans - Jonas V. - You can count fat Zion as center too.
7. Kings - Sabonis
Bottom line, you'll run up against some tough centers in the west for these playoffs. Our duo will play and be impactful.
I would counter that best counter weapon for most of this centers is to play five out and take them out of the paint. Zubac, Gobert and Nurkic are limited offensively.
