ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 2/13/2018

Anybody remember how scarily the sky was falling back when we were on a five-game losing streak?

Good times, good times...

I wonder what the record is for winningest season with a 5-or-more-games losing streak.

 

Biggest stat tonight was 3PT.

Rockets -- 22-47 -- .468
Wolves -- 6-23 -- .261

Very difficult to lose a game initiating that many 3's at that %

Rockets will pull plenty attempts..... just make a decent amount.

 

Minnesota wasn't really committed to closing out on shooters all night, and we were missing. But that 4Q, wow. Nice win after flying cross country. Now back home to play Sacramento (who was playing in Dallas). Everyone will be glad to have a break after this set.

 

I remember when the sky was falling in the first quarter tonight

 

I don’t expect ryno to be this hot all the time, but hopefully he keeps up with the 3 point attempts, be aggressive. Good game ryno good game rockets

 

Offensive masterpiece tonight by the Rockets. Super impressed. I thought the Wolves were a bad matchup for us, but we are playing like a well oiled machine. Those stepback threes by Harden are unbelievable.

Shame the wolves mismanaged their cap so bad. Wiggins and Dieng are such horrible contracts.

 

Something about the way he screams AND 1 on his last shot makes me smile

 

Man, we are just toying with them fools!

 

The Timberwolves were doomed when they put a Timberwolve in Rockets colors

 

thats your guess. doesnt concern me as again its 02/13/18 and the rockets just completed a great team win

 

I picked the wrong game thread to **** talk Ryno. Man was hot.

I'm very impressed by the defense tonight. Outside of the first quarter they did a great job. We gave up 108, but Minnesota is a force on the offensive side of the ball. Our switching schemes were tested because Minny has so many iso scorers. Butler and KAT are elite while Wiggins, Teague, and even Gibson are all capable. We honestly put the clamps down and a lot of Teague and Crawford's shots got very lucky bounces off the rim.

 

Hopefully more than anything this game gives him confidence.

 

4 were in the 1st quarter...

 

No one does, but this what he's going to do for one or two, maybe three games this post season and the other team won't have a chance.

 

I was actually surprised that Butler seemed so passive this game. I was waiting for him to start taking more shots in the 4th, but it never came.....

 

What a garbage game by Andrew Wiggins. If the Wolves want to take the next step, they need a star G/F that can shoot the lights out.

 

Rockets' TEN 4th Quarter 3PM sets the NBA RECORD !!!!

Stand up, H.

 

Floppy trajectories mean more shooter's bounces

 

Road Ryno Highlights!

 

Minny is a great team but you saw tonight the gap between GS/HOU and the rest of the West. Butler and Teague are really good but they need Wiggins to become an elite 3 and D player to take the next step. I still think teams whose best players are PF/C just will not be champ material nowadays. Minny, NOP, DET...
