Key Matchup

Brandon Jennings vs Kyrie Irving


- Brandon Jennings finished 2nd in the league in scoring, averaging 27.7 points per game, 5th in assists per game with 8.8 per game and he finished 5th in League MVP Voting... Kyrie Irving didn't have numbers as good as those, 22.6 points and 7.8 assists per game, mainly due to the fact that Kyrie wasn't asked to do as much as Jennings... This matchup should be a great one as both players can fill it up from all over the floor... Neither player plays what you would call "great" defense, and at times, its down right "bad" but, their ability to score is unquestioned...

Key Matchup

Derrick Rose vs Jrue Holiday



- Jrue Holiday has become a star in this league over the last few Seasons... He's averaging nearly 20 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds per game over the last 3+ Seasons... His Offense and understanding of the game has greatly improved and his Defense is starting to finally catch up as well... His Defensive abilities will be tested to the fullest against Derrick Rose in this series... Rose is one of, if not THE most explosive Point Guard in the NBA and he's a tough test for anyone, not just Holiday... Jrue Holiday has the advantage of getting some help from Evan Turner, who's longer and just as quick to help slow down Rose, and also Andrew Bynum lurking in the paint should Rose break down the first level of Defense... This is going to be a heavy-weight fight between two teams that could easily represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals...
