ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 1/19/2013

This should be a win then, but I wouldn't even be surprised if we lost.

 

LOL sad to say, you are correct.

 

No way we lose this game. Possible Minny starting 5.. Rubio, Ridnour, Kirilenko, Williams, and Stiemsma with no bench.

 

Rubio's playing like crap as well..

Interesting article:

I agree. They should win this one.
Also, Harden said he is not fatigued, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83O5FZxkqNw.

 

if were falling apart for no reason its a good sign...it means we are learning and becoming better....whatever it is that i am learning my skills regress and fall apart almost totally before making another leap of visible progress

 

Apparently the T-Wolves have heard of our problems and want to help.

 

It would be interesting to see if the Rockets play differently after the all star bench announcement. Harden gets paid more if he makes it and the Rockets need representation.

 

Lin did say he was going to buy-in into the system because McHale is a proven winner (as a player).

Too bad he is not in a position to question the system YET.

 

So true.

 

Another 6 game losing streak, or extending this current losing streak will definetely put Mcfail in the hot seat.

 

but perhaps this is a good system.... this is a sample to small to conclude anything.... imho...the team is playing relatively good its just that their open look shots, layups and FTs were not falling during this loosing streak....one should be cautions not to knee jerk....

 

Very interesting summary.

 

He never has.

 

That's real funny.

 

He then made the next (contested) layup attempt. :grin:

 

Thanks Da_Spark. I need a laugh after all the losing.

 

I really just don't follow what you are trying to say here. The only way Lin is goin to put up the numbers he did in NY is for him to be the number one option. Problem is you will be extremely hard pressed to find anyone aside from the most loyal of Lin fans who believe you can win it all with a team built that way.

Before this losing streak everything was just fine. Lin was contributing nicely while harden was leading. No one, but the irrational Lin fans who could care less about the team, was complaining then. Our problem is youth and inconsistency and a large chunk of cap space that has yet to be filled. In my eyes the system isn't the problem.
