The thing that's different about this series is that there isn't anyone like Russell Westbrook or even Eric Maynor at stretches who can expose Barea at the other end. Mike Bibby? He's going to take ANYONE to that hole. Chalmers, maybe, but I think Barea will be too much of a nuisance for that to happen. I think Barea will have his $!$$ swatted quite a few times by Bron and Wade, but also many times where he'll dribble that goddamn ball for eternity and then go up for an uncontested shot. He just needs to calm down and not take too many threes. Leave that to Dirk, Kidd, Jason Terry, and Peja.
Unless they end up throwing Wade or Bron on Kidd, Kidd is going to really have a field day with Bibby on him. We've seen a ton of different players try and stop Kidd, and he's just too crafty. Even at 38. Russ, Harden, Kobe, Fisher, Miller, Roy, no one has been able to get under Kidd's skin.
It'll be a mix of Chalmers, Bibby, and Wade guarding them. Maybe even Eddie House comes off the bench for defense
