Eric Nehm: In a similar vein, Giannis Antetokounmpo talked about the physical toll it takes to play center during that six-game stretch. How do you avoid overtaxing him and finding a balance between getting through these minutes, but getting him to the playoffs in these 11 games? Rivers: We don't have a balance right now. Bottom line, if Brook's off the floor, we don't have another five on our team. Bobby was the five, Jericho was the five and now we have zero fives (outside of Brook). So, it just really makes us a thin bench, a thin basketball team and so Giannis will have to play five and we're not opposed to putting Kuz at the five, which is crazy, but it is what it is.
