My personal keys:

1. In your face, man defense. Gates and Bernard are only threats from downtown. Macura is not good at putting it on the floor so limiting his threes has to be a priority as well. Bluiett is a fantastic inside out player but is more dangerous from beyond the arc. Take away the threes. If they score twos, just outrun them with threes.

2. I would have Markus/Rowsey be prepared to help double Bluiett all night. If we hold him under 20, I think we win this game. Goodin will play damn near the entire game but he is not much of a threat to score. I'd let him take open jumpshots all night if it means slowing down Bluiett.

3. Fischer/Heldt need to handle Gaston, O'Mara, and Jones on their own. Can't afford to double the post with X's shooters. Gotta hope for friendly refs because X lives on the boards. It'll be tough with them on the bench.

4. Make the extra pass. X's signature defense is the 1-3-1. You beat that with passing and threes, particularly in the corner. If we stick the game plan, we should have open looks all night.

Suggested Defensive assignments:

Goodin - Markus/Rowsey
Macura- Duane/JJJ
Bluiett- Cheatham/Katin
Gates- Hauser
Gaston/Jones/Omara- Fischer/Heldt
Bernard- Whoever the worst defender on the floor happens to be

Can't say this enough. Bluiett is the key. I'm confident in our matchups at every other position. Gotta hope one of HC and Katin are locked in. If we hold him under 20, we win. If he scores more than that, we still have a chance depending on how our offense is doing.

You know, I'm real tired of Wojo taking my advice and then not even giving me credit in postgame

Wow, he really sold the team down the river.  That was pretty harsh.  I can imagine that Xscoop is in FULL meltdown by now.
