    Triple double by Lowry; Pat, Lee & Dragon close it out. I guess Pat needs to get 3 fouls in the 1st minute every game.:grin:

    It's an effective combo, but I worry about it burdening Lowry with heavy minutes.

    I love when Parsons makes a heady play to save us from a turnover, bad shot, bad possession.

    I like these quick lineups. I wouldn't run it much, but I love the four guard line up. It's just funny to see Martin playing defense.

    Great damn win... we made the Wolves look like they don't even belong in the NBA in the 4th, and they're not a terrible team this year, especially in the 4th. Plus, they were at home.

    Highlight uploaded: <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=214296">Patrick Patterson's block on Ricky Rubio</a>.

    McHale really made an adjustment and that reserve lineup late in the third just took off. Great finish by the Rockets.

    What a difference it makes when the bench plays well!

    Was Chase sick or did McHale actually keep him out of the rotation?

    The Rockets were always in the lead in this game when Scola was on the floor. It was disgusting when people were calling out him out at the start when Love was 1-5 against him. Were they commenting without watching?

    Love finished 13-19 and 8-10 from the FT line but only scored 5 against Scola and 1 set of FT which was a BS off the ball call. Love grabbed Scola's arm but Luis was called for the foul.

    Budinger has basically fallen to third stringer. He hasn't been playing.

    Man....Dragic is like the antidote to teams who give us a good dose of pick and roll basketball.

    From the moment he entered the game it was like Minnesota's offense completely fell apart.

    Good game, love to see these guys win so many in a row. Gives me hope for the team, lol. Kyle Lowry is awesome out there, even when he is not scoring as much, he is impacting the game. Love those long bomb threes he hits.

    Martin had his stroke tonight, we need him to be more consistant with his shot, and it looks like he has been improving lately, which is a good sign.

    Finally, Patterson played great. Missed a couple of "gimmies" but all around good-game. It was great to see an athletic move from him tonight.

    No he has been playing. This would be his first DNP-CD of his career.
