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.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2026 7:04 pm Not a huge deal, but Carter Bryant is out. He is one of their bigger bench wings and would likely spend some time guarding Randle and/or Naz.
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.

Re: Wolves vs. Spurs
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!FNG wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2026 7:08 pmYes, 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.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2026 7:04 pm Not a huge deal, but Carter Bryant is out.

No worries, I'm just in a silly mood waiting for the game to start already!
Just gotta get these kids to bed
Re: Wolves vs. Spurs
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?

Re: Wolves vs. Spurs
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!rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2026 8:04 pm Timberwolves PR

Re: Wolves vs. Spurs
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
