From what I’ve seen so far, here is what could potentially cause us trouble:

1. I think it would need to be a team that can sustain high pressure perimeter D for an entire game.

we’ve seen a few times already how that grinds our offense to a halt and gives us fits.

having said that, we didn’t have Castle at full strength. he could be key to neutralize that type of matchup.

2. Other than that, if a team can get Clingan and Samson in foul trouble, that could cause us major problems.

3. An athletic 4 that can attack Karaban on both ends. His lack of athleticism is his only real weakness and has been exposed a few times now.

Kansas seemed to hit on all 3 of these. But even then we were heavily limited by injury and they were playing at home and we still almost won (although you could argue that required heroics from Newton that wouldn’t be reproduceable).

Not sure if any other teams have a similar profile to expose these 3 areas.
