As a defender, you would rather see Michael Finley across you.

Yet all in all Stack shot much worse than Fin, even though Stack could attack the basket and raise his shooting % from layups and dunks and Finley couldn't....BUT it didn't matter one bit since the player who only has a "one dribble move" and a "weak fadeaway" had a much higher shooting % in the end. As a defender who would you rather see shooting the ball? Exactly.
edit: BTW Barabosa only averaged less than 5 minutes against us than in the regular season. And that was mostly because starters usuaully up their minutes in the playoffs.
