    The thing is, very few teams have the perimiter defenders to double Yao off the ball. Pheonix did it because they trust Shawn Marrion to contain Tmac (and we were coming off a back to back). Utah does not have the perimiter guys to really contain McGrady (as evidanced by his 44 points earlier in the season). So if they choose to double Yao, Chuck is gonna get a ton of layups and Tmac is going to have his way with single coverage, AND we should get plenty of open 3's.

    As to the original point of this thread, I went with Deron Williams, since most point guard orriented teams tend to go as their PG goes. If we stop Williams, their entire offense will suffer, but he seems to have the advantage over Rafer one-on-one.
