ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/18/2018

Glad MDA decided to start Mbah instead of Tucker, though Mbah hasn't done that well starting. We should win still, 119-115

 

All our positive vibes are directed to our one and only Ryan James Anderson, aka your avatar, and it isn't nearly enough, don't ask us to diverge all the good thoughts coming off of these boards to anything else. Don't care about the children dying of starvation around the world. There's nothing more iminent for us fans than preventing Ryno from looking as if the Nerdlucks had stolen his shooting ability! Ryan about to show the world he's better than Bugsbunny at age 28!

 

Anderson, Moute, and Tucker will get ALL of the forward minutes.

For the Rockets to win, we can't have anymore 5pt 3rb duds from these guys.

I better not see the Rockets get bullied again in the paint. Looking at you Capela and Tucker.

Feels like Harden has been gone for 2 months. Soooooooooo glad he is back. People take him for granted. Man, missed that guy!

 

KAT will be defending the PnR, so there's a good chance Capela and Nene score 30plus combined. We'll need a great game from CP3 and EGo, and some offensive production from the wings (is it too much asking for 30pts combined?), as you said. Most important thing is playing good D and absolutelly not counting on James to carry us in his first game back from a hamstring injury!!

 

Lol at the comments for the cheer puppet:

"Looks like a penis warmer"

 

What color jerseys tonight?

 

lulz, I just checked: Rockets are 18-1 when Tucker scores more than 5pts
12-11 when he has a 5pt dud or less.

Random stats are fun

 

I seriously just pulled that number of out my ass. That is funny as hell.

 

Are the Wolves the one Western playoff team that we don't hate at the moment?

 

We will when they pass us in the standings

 

"When?"

Don't think like a loser.

 

tough one.. id like to think its how CP3 mins looked when he came back vs PHX. probably harden out 6 mins in, 6 mins to close 2nd, 6 mins 3rd and 6-7 mins in the 4th

 

Unleash RJ Hunter and Trey Williams

 

out of the top 8. i'm ok with wovles ( no guys that worth of hating) and thunders( thx for giving us Harden).

 

I was OK with the Thunder until last season, when Westbrook's ego (and mostly, his fans) swelled to be larger than the solar system.

 

I’m absolutely predicting a BIG game from Capela. Harden will be back running that high PnR coupled with Kat defense!

I’m thinking he gets 26/14/3blks. Harden being back helps capela so much.

If you play DFS, this is the biggest value of the day imo. Kat is horrible defensively and the harden/capela combo will eat. Look for taj getting minutes at he 5.

I also think Ryan has a good game here. Nothing crazy but a decent performance. Something like 17pts 5rebs 5/11 from deep.

I expect a lot more facilitating from harden than I do looking to score early on in the game.

This is cool...

 

Would've liked to see our full squad tonight against the Wolves but no thanks to Silver, Vandeweghe, & Co for suspending 2 of our players for "aggressively entering & talking"... I didn't know the NBA was being run by a bunch of middle school principles SMH

 

Start harden cp3 eg capela ryno
Tucker LM Black nene. Does troy williams recover?
