Tim Duncan is concerned about the depth of the Spurs' rotation, particularly in a condensed schedule. "We need some guys to step up, a lot of guys," Duncan said. "We're going to need some of our bench to find their way and find their rhythm and help us out a lot." Duncan will start alongside DeJuan Blair in the frontcourt, with only Matt Bonner and Tiago Splitter behind them (unless you count the make-good contracts of Frank Hassell and Luke Zeller).
