How do the Spurs respond the Small Ball Suns?

[spursfaninla]

I think it is obvious the Suns will be forced to play Barbosa, Thomas, and probably JJ a bunch more minutes than they were getting in previous games this series. I imagine we see these players getting almost 40 each:

nash
barbosa
bell
marion
thomas (30)
(which big subs? They are all scrubs)
jj(20)

This is like the small ball they played last year, but slower and less talented with Barbosa subbing for Diaw in scoring but with a slower Thomas their only legit. bigman.

My guess is that Pop tries to play the match-ups and goes with a lineup of four guards and Duncan. He's done this in the past and I am sure he will try it tonight. This will undoubtedly anger many Spurs fans, especially if the Spurs lose.
