ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 11/16/2019

that's the spirit!!!

 

Wiggins status

 

Jeff Teague always randomly has his best game of the season against us. Need to key on him tonight.

 

we all know that's what haters want to happen so they can "critique" the team for their body language and such

 

Man, you are not kidding!!!

 

Make fun all you want, I won't be angry or anything of that nature if we lose this game. If they win great, if they don't then that's not on anyone. Not sure why @vlaurelio thinks my post is somehow wanting them to lose so I can critique them.

 

fair enough, we’re just teasing you a bit. It’s all good!!

 

A lot of folks thought we’d get beat last night with so many key players out. It didn’t matter. Mac stepped up, Tyson was awesome in 25 minutes, and although Russ had about 8 shots, most of them layups, rim out, he had a positive impact on the game, in my opinion. Now we get to worry about the T-Puppies. We need some heart from Hart, since expecting another game like Tyson had against the Pacers in a back to back is expecting too much.

I’m worried about this game. Can James blow up again and score 40+? Can Westbrook get those shots to go through the damn net? We’ll see. Rockets by 1.

Russ is out? Now I’m really worried!

 

i specifically called out the haters if you're not one then no need to squirm

 

I’m not getting the Westbrook rest days is this because of his past injuries from before the season? Will he eventually stop resting on back to back games? He is paid so much and not that old.

 

has it been mentioned if this is a season-long thing for westbrook, or just the first few months?

 

Will he even set the court tho’ guess we are so short on bodies you’d think he would almost have to play, if he does would be nice to see him hit some shots to give him (and Mike) the confidence to play some semi-meaningful mins in future games

 

Kawhi says hi

 

It's painfully obvious that Harden is the only possible source of offense for this team, and knowing that and game planning to stop only him he's still gonna go off, 60 incoming.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if we win tonight. Harden is playing 2K on rookie.

 

Westbrook is about to miss more games than Chris Paul.

 

its because he used to torch cp3 just run by him as if hes not there on the way to the rim

 

Didn’t Russ get some sort of off-season surgery? Looked it up quickly. He had surgery on a finger ligament of his left hand, and what’s described as a “minor procedure” on his right knee. Maybe we should cut him some slack, especially because of the knee. Might want to keep an eye on how he handles his left hand during games, as well. I seem to recall it bothering him last night. Might need to watch the game again.

 

With the amount of people out, I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if this is an L. Minny road game b2b with like 5-6 players out? Geez. With that being said, winnable and GO ROCKETS!

I have a feeling that Hartenstein is going to get five minutes to prove he's not a liability....after that I think we're going small with Ryno and tuck at 5....if Hart can't hang, it's better to make KAT guard the three to open the lane for james....
