<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Milwaukee Bucks spent much of Monday's practice time analyzing game film. What stood out most were the problems they had matching up with Rasheed Wallace in Game 1 at the Palace. Wallace led all scorers with 22 points on 9-for-14 shooting, including 4-for-6 from three-point range in the Pistons' 92-74 victory. Wallace did most of that against rookie forward Andrew Bogut, the first pick in the draft last year. Bogut makes his living mainly in the post. Wallace can beat you from the perimeter or the frontcourt. Bogut isn't used to getting pulled to the perimeter on defense, so therein lies the difficulty. "When you have a 6-11 guy who can block shots and defend the paint and post up and go out and shoot threes, not just easy threes but quick-release threes, challenge threes, it just opens up the court," Milwaukee coach Terry Stotts said during a teleconference. "I think the teams that score best in this league are able to space the court. That's what Rasheed does. That opens it up for penetration angles, whether Chauncey (Billups) wants to drive, and it puts a lot of pressure on defenses when you have your four man able to space the court." The four man is the power forward. Guarding Wallace has been an eye-opening experience for Bogut, the only rookie starting on a playoff team. The Bucks would like to force Wallace to put the ball on the floor more. But Wallace isn't known for taking defenders off the dribble. Instead, he'll pull his man out to the perimeter and a) create his own shot, find one of his teammates cutting through the lane, or c) make a skip pass to a teammate with a better shot. "He's just tough within that system," Bogut said. "He fits perfectly. Every player fits their role. Chauncey's so good with the ball. He sets ball screens or tries to fake a screen to get guys open. We've got to help the guys a little bit, and he gets enough space to get an open three. "That's what we're going to try to eliminate, and hopefully make him put the ball on the floor a little bit more because he had so many open jumpers. He's definitely an All-Star."</div> Source
