    The Rockets defense should win this one.

    This will be a difficult game. I don't like this matchup against us. They can outrun us, though we can beat them in grinding out half-court sets I think, unless they have a hot shooting night knocking down contested jumpers, which is very possible. I have a bad feeling our win streak ends here

    This is BY FAR the #1 key for anyone playing the TWolves.

    No we need dalembert in the paint him guarding love on the perimeter leaves scola in the middle with darko....which means they will get 200 points in the paint.

    put parsons on kevin love when he is on the perimeter. put dalembert on kevin love when he is down low. but whatever you do, do not put scola on love, he will get his hairy Argentinian @$$ handed to him

    This would work in theory, but it would cause too much confusion on the defensive end...besides I feel controlling the paint and keeping rubio out of it will be the most important thing to do.

    Jordan Hill has the game of his career by hitting midrange jumper after midrange jumper. then he gets the highlight play of the game by hitting the game winning hook shot over Love.

    T-Will gets 20 points and 20 assist.

    Thabeet gets a career high 15 blocks, making Samuel Dalembert jealous.

    Jonny Flynn actually plays solid d, and hits all his tear drop layups while being heavily guarded.

    Jeff Adrien makes Clutchfans completely forget about Greg Smith with his solid hustle and tenacious rebounding.

    Rockets should win by 10+ but we'll probably win by 4.

    It's an important game, I think this will be a good test to see where the Rockets are at. Adelman's offense vs Mchale's defense. Rockets show some heart and upset the twolves on their own floor.

    Any chance Rick the Ruler gets juiced up for this game other than for the rheumatism in his joints? I have a bad feeling about this game. I think we'll lose this one unfortunately in a blowout. Don't know why. Just a feeling I can't shake.

    Lowry is good against tricky PGs like Rubio. We should be able to pull this one out as long as we contain Timberwolves scrubs but let Love and Rubio get theirs.

    Win. And we show Adelman how much better off this team is without him and his stubbornness.

    Lets watch em play first. I've yet to see a PG give Lowry any kind of trouble.
