When Amin knocks down, Mike, your idea of putting Wemba Nyama on Brunson more, I didn't think that fatigue, although fatigue would also be one of the factors, would be what I would be worried about.
I'd be worried about foul trouble for Wemba Nyama.
Just a couple, even though he's got a foot on him, the quickness and the way that Brunson can use his body to get fouls, that's what I would worry about.
I don't want, if I am the Spurs, any circumstance where Wemba Nyama is in foul trouble.
You haven't seen much of that during the playoffs.

When I look at Castle and Harper, I'm seeing youth and speed and quickness.
When I look at Maxie, I see certain quickness.
That's not what I see on Brunson.
