let us do it like this.....everyone gets 20 minutes.....we go 12 deep....
ok this is done in jest, but imagine if we could get away with doing this....hehehe
usualy an 8-man-rotation is great and the way to go, but thats just not the way these spurs work...there will be situations that we need Bonners spacing...others with Diaws playmaking and then again others with Blairs energie a need.
Kind of the same with Jackson, Kawhi and Green (and probably Neal)...while they dont have as different skillsets, you just run with the hot hand and thats it!

The last championship the Spurs won, Pop gave double-figure minutes to 10 players in the playoffs. That was rare but it worked because the Spurs got great contributions from Horry, Barry, Finley, Elson and Vaughn. The only 2 players who averaged less than 10 min./game were Bonner and Udrih.
This year's team is very deep so it wouldn't be unreasonable to see a rotation of 10 again as long as the Spurs are winning.
