    You guys have seen what Devin has been up to, Is AB up to the task?
    (I am secretly hoping Rafer is out another game)....

    He was ready for Chris Paul, so I belive he is ready for Devin. At least he is quick enough

    I was more worried about Billups.

    If he outplays him it doesn't mean he is a star , and if he struggles that fine too , he did great against Billups and Paul , it's just one game.

    I love Clutchfans! You guys are right, I completely forgot that he
    has whooped both Chauncey and CP3. Devin Harris presents many
    interesting problems in regard to pick and rolls though (Yao). AB is
    really going to have to fight over those screens........

    I would not mind seeing a bigger guard on Devin Harris to help
    prevent penetration (ala Pippen on Magic), but I am not sure
    Tracy could handle that at this point...... Did Ron not say something
    about guarding PG's?:)

    Dude, Devin would run circles around Ron.

    watch AB put up 20, but harris will probably put up more.

    Harris is something special; I don't think AB can stop Harris but let's hope he can keep Harris under control. Otherwise, it is going to be a long game with our bigs (especially clumsy Yao) getting in foul trouble.

    if AB the faster rocket in the roster cant keep up with Devin Harris, i shudder to think what may happen with rafer guarding him.

    Anyway which matchup will decide the match?

    Harris- AB
    Vince- Tmac
    Yi- Yao.... just cant help it.

    This is an interesting skill. Harris is quite similar to Brooks, fast, accurate. So it may pose a problem to Brooks.

    That being said, yes Brooks is ready for Harris. In the NBA, you have to be ready, and when you're a second year player with the chance of a life time to land the starting spot, you would do anything to show that you got the skills and talent.

    AB must force him to go left. Devin Harris has a weak left hand.

    I predict one of them will foul out.

    At this point, I don't think Tracy could handle guarding the chair Devin Harris sits on during timeouts.

    Harris is different than CP3 and Billups, he is both fast and tall. I think AB has to match his aggresiveness by focusing on the offense and tire him up doing that.

    it will be more of a team effort defensivly on him more than anything.
