Playoffs are all about matchups.
The matchup that made the biggest difference in 2011 was JJ Barea. The Lakers and the Heat were mature teams, but neither had anyone quick enough to stay in front of JJB. The sight of 90 year old Derrick Fisher chasing him around is forever solidified in my memory. Miami had no answer for him, so he started the last 2 or 3 games.
Matchups are huge in the playoffs, but more important is who steps up to the challenge. Just ask Paul George.
