They had a hard enough time with Birdman, now what?
Could they put Lebron on him and see if he can just get around him by being quicker?

They don't. Let him get his and shut down the backcourt.

Joel Anthony going to get 25+ minutes tonight. Hibbert will probably go off but if they keep David West and Paul George below 20 points its all good

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.

It wont be easy but not having Birdman wont really be a problem besides fouls

Birdman hardly played the second half last game i believe

Front him and make sure backside rotates on lob.

Haven't seen it all series. Now time to do it.
