    Austin's elbow has betrayed him and we must somehow find a way to take up the slack!
    Fate has called! Heroes await!

    Trounce the T-Puppies!

    I can toss in a few more exclamation points if anyone wants them

    He ducked out of Houston after his play sickened everyone with at least 1 working eye.

    Rivers deserves a bit of a rest. He helped resurrect our season. Rivers' play has fallen quite a bit from the first 2 weeks with us. May he heal whatever is limiting him.

    If we can win this game, we are very likely to get the 4th seed in standing.

    I get that we don't have Capela, but why is everyone already penciling this in as a loss? What am I missing about this terrible Wolves team? Clutchfans might need the All-Star break more than the players.

    I would be shocked if the Rockets can't secure the 4th seed. Portland's schedule the rest of the way is brutal. They play 10 out of 12 on the road coming out of the All-Star Break.

    Because the Rockets have been inconsistent all season, even within the same game(witness Saturday night's 1st and 2nd halves or the first game at Minnesota). Also, Harden and Faried are banged up and Rivers is out. Plus there's always that fear of a team looking ahead to the break and losing focus in their final game.

    I hear you. That OKC loss was painful. But I could see this being the Chris Paul show tonight. It's time to take some heat off of Harden. I could even see the streak ending tonight.

    There's literally no pressure to perform for any of these guys in the all-star game. Aside from Wade breaking Kobe's nose by accident during the ASG like 7 years ago, there's been no major injury in the history of the game, as far as I can remember.

    Besides, telling an athlete not to at least be athletic for a game in which they were chosen by the fans to start, is a bit of a slap in the face to the people who want to see him, but don't get to, on a nightly basis like we do.

    Smells like we're going to go up by 20 at the half, be down by 4 with 2:00 left in the 4th, and then Harden saves us near the end.

    Not Lettuce head, no win for TWolves. Harden for 30+ again, I got to pinch myself that 30+pts a game is not easy as numbers look. Jordan said winning 6 is harder than 30pts a game steak or Russell's triple-double. Pippen has 6, P.Jackson has 6 (Bulls), Jerry Reinsdorf has 6, Jerry Krause has 6, but Harden solely owns the active record of 30+. Historically 6 is going to live forever, but mentally getting 30 a game in the streak is harder. Think Iron Man streak (Cal Ripken) which will never be broken ever. Just saying Im betting Jordan wished he owned Harden's streak because this is a streak of dominance. Win, win, Harden, win, MVP, win, win, win, 30+, Rockets, win, win..... win...... win.....
