That's great news! He can be a difference maker tonight. Pek is minus 13 and Dieng was plus 10.

Surprisingly, we outrebounded Memphis 29-20, with the bench going 11-4.

Agree with this. Wiggins invisible so far which is most likely opening night jitters. Hopefully he gets into the flow, but Bazz is playing hard tonight - so I have no problem if he gets bulk of second half.

Rebounding is looking good and more evenly than I remember :-)

Not a great half for Pek. 1-7 yikes.

I actually didn't have a problem with that play. I like that Rubio plays hard and takes some chances. It didn't work out. But that's just how he plays. They made the shot - so tip your hat to the other team.


I wouldn't have a problem with it if we weren't down 3 with 6 seconds left in the half. Ok play at the right time in the game.

He misses so many close shots - it can really be frusterating! I like Pek, but doesn't seem to be his night tonight. Maybe he comes back strong in second half.

This is more important to me then the game tonight, great news to hear.......Dieng is the Kevin Love of our defense, the dropoff when he leaves is astounding
