So to recap, their third tallest player is Harrison Barnes at 6'7" and now their fourth tallest guy is Champagnie at 6'6". Wemby and Kornet rarely play together. We will likely have a height advantage at the two forward spots almost 100% of the time.
Yes, and as I reported in my Spurs pod recap, they are quite concerned about the size difference...and especially the big lineup with Naz at the 3.

Ayo and DDV being out and Naz coming alive a bit means we may throw out some downright HUGE lineups. Love it! Conley and Bones will likely play as much as required to plug the gaps, but I just don't see either of those guys closing halves. We'll see what Finchie has up his sleeve!

Haha, sorry! But just to clarify, I mean Ru, not Joan!
No worries, I'm just in a silly mood waiting for the game to start already!

Just gotta get these kids to bed

So Finchy says Ant will play but be on a minutes restriction. He didn't say if he would start, but it's easier to restrict minutes if you come off the bench. I now think it will be Clark or Shannon next to Mike to start. Maybe Clark to start on Fox?

Makes sense, rap…we need tj’s scoring potential. And while I usually pull my hair out watching him on defense, I saw nothing that bothered me in game 6. More importantly, the fact that Finchy didn’t yank him tells us he thought he was okay too. Let’s go TJ!

TJ had a couple possession game 6 manned up on Murray to give Jaden a breather and he was glued to him, fought over a screen and everything it was great to see

Speaking of Joan, did you see the blurb today that he's grown an inch this season. Nice!
