Playing Love at Center with a guard sized player at the 4 is just something extra by Spo

Very rarely are specialists multi-dimensional players. So basically we have to settle for guys with limited skillsets instead of integrating more mutli-faceted players because we're the only playoff team whose two best players are both not shooters. Its tough to build around, not impossible, just tough.

I don’t understand people clamoring for Duncan’s return. J Rich has been giving us just what we need from that spot both offensively and defensively.

Thomas Bryant sucked more. He is a traffic cone :lol:

At least with Love, you get some Rebounding. But both sucked on D.

Bojan Bogdonovic would look good between those two.

He's been our best player so far tonight. I'd rather use Duncan while he has value and get a 4 that actually offers something.

JRich is not Duncan substitute

He gives us so much more defensively from that spot and more athletic

These are the cards we have, the cards that were dealt to us either from trades or drafted. These are the cards the FO has decided to go build a system around, now we got to find a way to make it work. Those cards have gotten us to the Finals twice and the Conference Finals three times, so they are at a minimum good enough to give a chance better than most.

Jimmy has been like our 4th best player tonight, he’s just not engaged and hasn’t came close to matching Kawhis intensity.

This is it. Preferably a 3 point shooting 4 like KO and Bogdonovic. We don’t need Duncan and Herro backcourt
