    I would go for Tucker to start, and Ryan off the bench. Defense first is most important. Tell PJ not to worry if he misses shots.

    With Luc out, we have zero defense coming off the bench. Would make more sense to have Tucker come off the bench while Luc is out.

    In this series, Ryno is a great matchup since Taj can't guard him out in the perimeter. Ryno has been great against them all year.

    Anderson isn't the answer. He'll only make our defense worse.

    yeah, but does he improve our chances for a 30 or 40 point first quarter?

    Yeah I was watching the end of the Cavs/Pacers game last night. If you look at the replay or highlights of the game, you can see Kevin Love setting screens away from the ball to free up Korver. Love only had 5 pts last night. So players can be active and help the team. If the Wolves want to leave Tucker to load the paint vs CP3 and Harden......Tucker or Ryno can move and help free Gordon or Green.
    Not sure they leave Ryno though.

    Yes. Run pick and pop with him. And drop him in the corner and go 5 out.

    Rynos defense sucks. KAT will probably go off when he's in
