ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 3/20/2005

A good start to feed Yao the ball. We need to pick up a little bit outside shoot, then this is a easy win.

 

The Rockets needs to rebound much better. Way too many 2rd chance opportunities for the Wolves.

 

We still have to play defense... right now, even though Minnesota is missing, they're still getting wide-open shots.

 

Tracy is missing everything lately and Yao needs to control the boards.

 

Spoon kills the offence. He's too slow and they aren't even guarding him.

 

Yeah,we are lucky not only have they missed outside shots but also missed a fast break. Our rebounding and defensive rotation is poor and we are not executing well on offense either.

 

is that new PF we picked up playing?

 

this looks like a totally different team from the won that beat everyone up out West

 

Well, to be fair, it does kinda look like the one who fell behind big to Seattle and Phoenix.

 

Sura is just pathetic! He can't drible the ball and makes a lot of bad desicions! Take him out!

 

Weatherspoon is just horrible at grabbing loose balls. His vertical is so horrible it looks like he's not even jumping. The ball has hit his hands two or three times but he can't quite grab it due to his lack of jumping ability.

T-Mac needs to take it to the basket, he's taking some difficult outside shots.

 

It looks like we are getting outrebounded left and right.

Yao has 0 boards?

This team needs to wake up.!

 

if we can't get our rebounding and shooting together, we are in for a loooooong night ....some get a body on KG

and someone tell t-mac that its ok to take a shot from less than 20 feet

 

The Rockets just need to up the energy level... Minnesota is a team that wears out as the game goes on (they're normally pretty good in the 1st quarter).

Right now, they look too content, like they have nothing to prove... and we all have seen that this team plays the BEST when their backs are up against the wall.

 

Horrible performance by perimeters. I never put TMAC in the same league as Kobe 'cause he takes too much jump shot. When his shots are off, basically he has no impact on the game and his defense really needs to toughen up.

 

It's hard to finish around the basket because of KG but T-Mac needs to keep attacking the basket and get to the free throw line. His shooting is really bad tonight.

 

we miss JH.

 

KG is just a monster on the boards. Yao is just a tad slow in getting to the boards in several occasions.

He could have done better. The second block was really nice.

Tmac is just ice cold and cannot get anything going so far.

 

Just realized Tmac is so streaky.

 

Garnett blocks Yao. Now tell me that if those guys were switched, that Yao would be credited with the block......he'd have been whistled for a foul.
