What the Spurs need to do against the Rockets “unguardable” lineup

At first blush, it’s tempting to look at what happened to Game 4 and curse Mike D’Antoni’s dumb luck. Nene’s injury led him to stumble into the ultimate unguardable lineup, a “five-out” look with Ryan Anderson at center where no one is within a mile of the paint and all of them can shoot threes. It reminded me of when Chris Bosh got hurt in 2012 during Miami’s playoff series with Indiana. It forced Erik Spoelstra to play LeBron James at the four and Shane Battier at the three.
