They had a hard enough time with Birdman, now what?

Considering they've guarded him worse with Birdman than with Haslem/Bosh, I'll say they do a better job on him tonight. Offensively they may struggle if they play Joel, but Joel is one of the best screeners in the league. So it may end up okay for them.

Birdman has been terrible on Hibbert. His value has been on the offensive end and help defense/weak side blocks, not post defense on Hibbert.

They'll play Hibbert like they did in G5. They'll front the post and double from the weak side on immediately on the pass. The biggest question is what kind of effort will they bring, and will they bring it consistently.

I agree with that. Birdman hasn't been doing a good job on Hibbert but he brings good offense, blocking ability, and knows how to energize the crowd. Joel Anthony can do a pretty good job defensively but I don't expect more than 3 points out of him. If any.
