the Spurs only had one big man play more than 20mpg in the most recent series. now, last year, i would buy it a little more. you could hide a big on Barnes when they went Death Lineup and just live with him beating you. but even then, in the one game they beat the 73 win Warriors, Duncan played 8 minutes and playmaking 4 Diaw played 35 minutes next to PF Aldridge at the 5.


with this iteration, i dont think you can go with two bigs. Durant at the 4 is too quick and skilled for bigs. you need wing defenders who can maybe make things sort of tough for him (there aren't many of those guys around). maybe you can hide a big on Iguodala? if i'm the Pels, i probably put Davis on Green and Cousins on Iguodala with Hill trying to keep up with Durant.
