ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 12/26/2012

It's so great that Harden doesn't need to get to the line to be effective; I was expecting him to get frustrated. I remember when Kevin Martin wasn't getting to the line he was worthless.

 

Recruiting is ongoing?

 

Love would be a great fit to the Rockets, because the timberwolves have good PG and center so they are less likely to ask for our first tier PG or center as return.

 

I don't like games like these. I miss the days of blowout wins. Smh @ Lin with 7 turnovers... I know, know, I know, **** the refs....

Not a good game by the Hardy Boyz. Glad Harden showed up when it counted at the end, but not happy with his d for most of the game.

 

It'd would of been cool seeing parsons guarding bud

 

He drew an offensive foul too.

 

man with tired legs the run game was not to be found and shots were off. but i love the coaching trust in letting the second team up the energy and bring the game back within striking distance. than the last 6 minutes was purdy! the way minnesota folded was the way we used to expect rockets to do a month ago. what difference a month makes!!!

 

maybe we can trade delfino for barea. even though he is annoying he would be great in houston.

the thing about delfino though he hits some timely shots, the thing is once he does he goes into heat check mode and usually misses the next few bombs.

 

I have no problems with Delfino shooting 3's he's money from long range usually...I just hate when he tries to be a playmaker or starts thinking he's Kobe out there. I want him to stick to what he's good at, knocking down the open shot.

 

Jeremy Lin = AIR FORCE
Harden = NAVY SEALS

 

I couldn't disagree more.

1. I like the fact that Delfino is willing to handle the basketball even when Harden or Lin are on the floor. It helps take the pressure off of those guys, even if it is just for a couple of possessions.

2. He does jack up a lot of threes, but I can live with that honestly.

 

I think we had business winning this game.
I think fatigue played a major role in the game tonight.
Asik missed a ton of passes and rebounds he got the night earlier.
I agree, they need to improve in those areas you mentioned but you could see the fatigue on guys faces.
Hopefully they were clutch in the end.
Close game against a quality opponent only leads to more learning curve.
We saw earlier in the year they would of lost this game, damn you PORTLAND!!

 

I wonder what the Suns would want for Dudley. He's a better Delfino.

 

The Wolves had no business winning either and you can't have a tie, so we stepped up and took the win so everyone can go home.

 

I'm still not sure if Harden is/ever will be a Lebron or Melo kind of player....but he was perfect at the end of this game.

As for JLIN, struggled, but glad he had the confidence to take that shot to tie the game.

 

Woah woah woah... Harden is amazing but let's hold back on comparing him to Jordan for now :grin:

 

I want revenge on portland so bad!

 

Glad to know that he's picking up strong defense when the offense was not clicking.

 

That was ugly and yet beautiful.

 

To be fair, almost all the shots Delfino takes are three pointers, and 4 for 13 is like .300 from three.
