Game 1: Timberwolves at Blazers (10/22, 9 pm)

[Domejandro]

Sloppy start to the quarter. Kind of a funky line-up.

[Guest84]

Back line defense without Rudy is just bad. Also, no matter who’s in a Portland jersey, they’ve always presented a problem for any wolves team.

[Danimals]

Love this!

This is has been my preferred depth chart for the start of the year.

DiVincenzo- Conley- Dillingham
Edwards- Clark- Hyland
McDaniels- Shannon- Ingles
Randle- Reid- Miller
Gobert- Behringer- Rocco

How can you have Naz backing up Randle only? Even if Randle only plays 30 that's only 18 for Naz.

It’s a depth chart not a rotation. The rotation would look something like…
DiVincenzo 30 Conley 18
Edwards 36 Clark 12
McDaniels 34 Shannon 14
Randle 34 Reid 14
Gobert 32 Reid 16

Bring in Le Berricade.

Yeah, I think that the Randle/Reid lineups just aren't viable. Have to find a way to limit those minutes.

So you have Berringer and Rocco as the back up centers, but neither gets a minute in reality. Got it.

Our roster is an incohesive mess of talent.

[KGdaBom]

DDV 5 TOs early 2nd quarter. Let's end the experiment already.

Beringer isn't going to play. He isn’t ready.

[Domejandro]

I feel like you need Rob Dilingham in the game if neither Anthony Edwards or Mike Conley are in the game. Donte DiVincenzo can never be the lead ball-handler for this team, totally unviable in that role.

What a DUNK by McDaniels. Welcome to the NBA Yang Hansen.

[TimberKat]

Hansen, welcome to the real NBA - a shot blocked by Gobert and a dunk on by JMD

[Norseman79]

Don't need a PG

[wolves_89]

Donte's done a lot of good things, but man his turnovers are killing the Wolves.

Whatever with that load of crap. He is ready and if somebody says he's the primary backup center you should expect him to get some minutes at Center. Yang Hansen not nearly as good has been in for a pretty long time.

Jinx.

Take away his 5 TOs and counting and he's had a good game. Include them he's been abysmal.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Too many open 3....

[guest81]

Blazers look really good. I predict they'll finish ahead of the Lakers
