Who guards freddy it doesn't matter. We play shut down D, are longer and more athletic and they don't match up well against us. The real question is who is going to guard Kawhi? Don't worry Rose has his bench goons there will be plenty of hard fouls in this game. I'm glad they regulated the elbows out of the game!

If I was coach Fisher, and wanted to "stop" Jimmer, here is what I would do.
I would go "Herb Brooks (Miracle on Ice)" on Jimmer. Seriously, no one has tried this, and, in my estimation, would have to work.
I would start with my youngest players on the team (protecting your experienced players), and alternate between 4 to 5 different players in 2 minute intervals.
I would tell them to be in his grill, ball denial full length of the court, all game long. Fresh legs every 2 minutes...ball denial, full court...2 minutes, switch players, repeat.
Four to five players, all game long. Rest of the team, man up in man to man defense. How could that no work on just about anyone.
Comes down then to your next four against our next four...who wins?

Not really, all you have to do is outscore BYU to win. ;D
Jimmer is going to get his points but you do have to slow him down. For a start I would guard him once he passes the half court line and make him drive to the basket and then take some hard fouls on him to discourage any drives to the basket.

The problem with the strategy is that the young bench players would pick up unnecessary fouls and BYU would be in the double bonus the entire game and it would probably result in some of his outside 3's turning into 4 point plays.

Not only that he knows how to work off the screens and young defenders will be taken advantage off.
