ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/5/2024

Rox got bullied but the thing is I don't know how we can fix that, outside Boban they don't have anyone past 7 ft and Minny has 2 7 fters in their front court lol.

We needed Tari and Dillon to have a chance this game. Oh well at least guys played their hearts out. Losing to the best team isn't that bad. On to the next one.

 

It has nothing to do with that, you preserve salary to make moves for the bench....

The NBA shifted towards balance of 1st and 2nd Units........balanced books.....

The Rockets got blown out by the 1st Unit and 2nd Unit of the Timberwolves.....and the 3rd Unit.

Bogdanovic the current best bench player of the league makes 17-18 million/yr.

The best bench players are players that are occasional starter material.....

 

Hoping alot of that is db being out along with Eason being in and out

 

"Jacking" 50 % on 8 attempts is why we lost???

 

Sure but overall looks bad, Offense is erratic and such.

And Udoka seems to lose Time Outs in Home Games.....

 

Just watched the highlights. Wow, the Wolves really loaded up on talent in the offseason. They are big, scary, and can shoot lights out.

 

Jaesean Tate had 0 points. The Wolves are going to lose to 3 point shooting teams and the Rockets had two non 3 point shooters out there. Amen and Whitmore got a taste of real teams with Suns/Wolves and where they need to be.

Onto the next one but Jalen has no ****ing idea how to break down an NBA defense and resorts to chucking 3s. On days the 3s fall he scores 30. On days the don't, aka most days, he scores 10.

 

Better say onto the Bucks and the 6 Game Road Trip! Survival Guide 101.

 

Like their worst players are Mike Conley, Slowmo, McDaniels, Minott, Garza, Leonard Miller, Shake Milton......decent names.

 

With D.Brooks, it will be a much closer game

 

If he is in foul trouble and he sometimes is, not so much.

There are ways to take him out.

 

Minny's the best team in the west. What time line are we living in?

 

i was thinking the same thing earlier lol. 2004 vibes

 

gotdamn, i thought we would put up a better fight. what did we expect, without D brooks. but gotdamn.....

 

I thought Jalen did a pretty good job at attacking slower footed defenders and getting into the lane--even though he lost the ball a few times as per usual. He got a few layups out of it too, which was a pleasant surprise after the last few games where he was drifting around the perimeter more.

He also recovered from a really shitty start, which I like to see

 

I was looking forward to Spider pickle.

 

What is it....Garnett, ET Cassell Sam I am, Sprewell... Mad Dog Madsen.

 

ok can’t lie. Kind of liked that team. Just glad the Lakers ended up losing that year, ha.

 

Did you quote the wrong person... because that is not even slightly what he said.

Seems like I picked the right game to not be able to watch.
