Game 8: Timberwolves (2-5) at Pelicans (7 p.m., FSN)

Flip wouldn't tell the media who's starting in place of Young, but I could see Flip going with Dieng to better match up with Davis.

Asik vs Pekovic
Davis vs Dieng
Anderson vs Bennett

LaVine
Wiggins
Bennett
Dieng
Pekovic

Lets do it.

Flip has said that Bennett's struggles in Cleveland were partly due to him playing out of position at SF. Why would he start him at SF if he believes that?

Davis and Asik will rack up the blocks against Pek.

I'd rather start Bennett and bring Dieng off the bench early for Pek when his slowass defense starts becoming unbearable.

Sounds like Gorgui is getting the start at PF.

Interesting. Let's see if pairing a shotblocker to Pek will be good

I dig it. Looks like Hummel and Turiaf will be getting alot of PT. I can see Bennett getting his usual minutes, hope im wrong though.

Man, without Ricky this TEAM is so lost...

Why does pek always chuck these shots when it's quite evident that he won't hit them instead of passing it back to the perimeter? Frustrating to watch

At least nobody got hurt yet. Missing our heart (Young) and soul (Ricky).

This team has a few strong individual defenders, but as long as it lacks a good defensive system and as long as it still has multiple sieves, it won't be a good defense.

Rubio completely changes this team.

This is unwatchable. Listening to the homers of the Pelicans cast makes it even worse...

I, can't handle this anymore. I think I've officially checked out until Rubio returns.

Man, what happened to this season. I'm not going to be hyped up at all for a season for a while. Big bummer.
