Should Tim come off the bench at some point?

OKC is the only team in the NBA that has an Enes Kanter coming off the bench..despite the size issues in the frontcourt, this isn't going to be a recurring theme..

Kanter is one of the most cancerous players in the NBA if he's in your starting lineup, one of the worst defensive bigs in NBA history..however, if he's coming off your bench, he's a huge luxury and will consistently dominate opposing bench bigs on offense and on the glass..

he's not even close to being as bad as advertised tbh.

I know it was just the first game, but we had issues rebounding with the 2nd unit in the game. I remember seeing an article recently that pointed out to that as a potential weakness, and in the first game OKC got a lot of offensive boards. The leads were gone when that happened. We'll be fine against the weaker teams but against OKC or LAC it could cause issues.

Yes. At the beginning of the game when they call his name "From Wake Forest.. number 21, Tim Duncan".

No.

The truth of the matter that, Duncan and LMA are both going to play extended minutes in the playoff anyway. There isn't a whole lot of 2nd unit that xan kill the Diaw-West rotation so it should be fine.

we might see pop playing LMA or TD more with the 2nd unit, but It really isn't that big of an issue.

The only way Tim should come off the bench is if Boban is the real deal and can handle the 5 spot.

Pop will figure out the best rotations, tbh

The problems last night were evident the very first game.

He needs to play more in game 5. I don't know what the Pop is doing? We need his rebounding badly at the very least.

Right now he is basically not playing Tim at all. Series is tied 2-2, it's not like we are dominating with these line ups.
