    How do you all think the Rockets match up with the Timberwolves? I'm interested. I think Carlos Rogers will be missed in this game (as if he's not missed every game). His length and quickness would probably match up alright against KG and Joe Smith.

    And isnt T. Brandon out with a injury? I didnt notice till like a week ago that the tickets I got for the Rockets and Lakers game falls on Superbowl sunday...but Its a earlie game so its all good...would love them to carry the current streak into that game...it would be great.

    I think we match up well with them, much like the Heat.

    I really believe that their backcourt is no match for ours, especially if Brandon is out.

    6 games in a row is a nice run. If we lose to the T-Wolves, it's no big deal.

    We just might be headed for a lull against Minnesota, and they've been hot the past 10 or so games. As have we. So, I guess I have no solid opinion.... Well, I do feel that we should beat them.

    We should, however, beat the Warriors and Nuggz before we face the Lakers. (Rocketman95, I was just too lazy to look it up [​IMG] )

    That's the Nuggets, not the Mavs, DREAMer. [​IMG]

    I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I don't recall us playing well in Denver.

    the great thing about our match up here is we don't rely on low post scorer...so the effectiveness of Garnett's unlimited defensive ability has no real target. (See Minn's win against Utah and Malone.)

    The downside is Cato didn't look comfortable in his defensive minutes last night. Dream was playing excellent defense, especially his ability to cover both sides of the lane. But, Garnett is so fast, we'll see.

    Here's a match-up problem for Minnesota, Wally guarding either Mobley or Anderson.
