    Green spanked the Wolves.:) The Wolves are confused and worried. Go flat out in Game 3, don't let them settle down.

    Lol. Teague has been the only one who's competed and has been more of a threat than Wiggins or KAT. You dismissing him simply because he's not a superstar says more about YOUR ignorance than me. But carry on...........

    I'm sure it'll be updated in about an hour or two after First Take discusses the Rockets.

    I'm watching Undisputed at the moment, but of course the lead story is the Cavs(when is it not?).

    It's still scary to think.. we still shot the ball bad. Harden had an off game. Yet, still won by 20.

    Anderson coming back, soon? Let's get it.

    Not gonna read this whole thread, so maybe someone already answered this: What was up with those weird blobs on Harden's shoulder? It looks like he had some 'cupping' done or something, which is a treatment to increase blood flow in the area. Did anyone have any explanation for those?

    As many have said, while the offense was not where it needs to be (I think we will get there soon), the defense was lock down from everybody. That effort was beautiful and it took Minnie to the woodshed.

    Green was amazing in that he was the spark the team needed to wake up. Dude deserves a nice contract.

    CP3 was downright ridiculous good. He probably thought this was a pickup game at Fondre. Lol

    Great win. Hopefully Gordon can get going soon. Not worried about Harden, obviously couldn't hit anything but still played great!

    Very impressed with the defense. If we actually hit our shots in Minny this could be a sweep.

    TC was on fire last night. Everyone in our section was getting into it. The chants for defense were loud and intense.

    Game 1: Harden goes off
    Game 2: CP3 goes off
    Game 3: Gordon goes off

    This is all I could find so far from First Take this morning:



    Max doesn't even talk in this clip. It's just Stephen A ranting about Towns playing soft. I would disagree, BTW. Towns certainly could be more aggressive, but the Rockets defense is simply not letting him get easy shots. They tried to feed him in the 2nd quarter and the Rockets shut down the T'Wolves and outscored them 37-17. I can't blame Thibs for looking elsewhere for offense after that.
