Last night he did exactly what he needed to do. Be physical with Wemby. Make them call fouls on you. Then attack the boards when Wemby is looking to block shots. Wemby is going to dominate and get his points. If allowed though, you hope the physical play wears him down just a little as the series goes on.
This is the point I keep making about the value of Gafford. The potential physicality of the game, and the need for a player who can impact it, is very under-noticed.
