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

minny will make it hard to pass ball to Yao late by that time, we can judge if rockets' going back.

 

I predict that if the Rockets go into halftime trailing by less than 10 then they will win at the end...please get it down below 10

 

What is it with this horrible FT%?

 

Minnesota is a team that will let you back in the game if you keep playing hard.

Right now, we're suffering from a few defensive lapses, and virtually no production from T-mac.

If those two improve, we should at least make a game of it... if not win it.

 

the only hope for rockets now is to have whoever guarding yao to foul out.... then t-mac takes over

 

I think T-Mac was slightly inebriated when he did that interview with Steven A. Smith (where he ripped Weisbrod).

He definitely looks "looser".

 

After on the bench for a while, T-mac will know how he should do.
Rox need hard defense and moving the ball smoothly.

 

Our defensive 3pt % is amazing sometimes

our FT shooting is even more amazing

JVG said it best ....you can tell how into a game a team is by their FT% ...........

 

JH is very inportant for rox

 

Sh*t, make the free throw!

 

Cannot believe how JH is so important to the Rockets.

When the perimeter shots are not falling, the Rockets are a below average team in the league.

 

I'm a ****in soljah!

 

The main reason why we're missing JHo right now is that JVG insists on starting Weatherspoon which has zero offensive ability. The seriously need to start Padgett in the 2nd half in order to get back in the game.

 

The FT's are down because we are under pressure. I hope that JVG will get the players to improve on defensive rotation and rebounding
and tell T-Mac to go flat out in the 2nd half on offense. He needs to get to the line and mix things with his outside shot.

 

Also consider that the Minny bench dropped 29 points on us in the first half.

The only Rockets that played decent in the first half is Yao, but he only grabbed one board.

 

Spoon can hit some jumpers last season. This year, he is just a POS.

 

Can someone tell me why the ROCKETS are playing this lethargically for the second game in a row?

I mean seriously, what happened to the Defense???? Even without Howard the Defense shoudlnt' be this Bad??

It's almost as if the rockets are TRYING to lose? What the heck is going on with this TEAM RIGHT NOW???!!!

 

If YAO is going to play a bunch of minutes maybe JVG should use him at PF and sit him in the high post to hit jumpers and have Deke down low.

 

I believe he just does not want to waste any shot opportunity on himself.
