ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 12/27/2024

I’m still pissed -looking back and Wolves started attacking Alpi on defense

Naz Ried scored or assisted on 12 points once they sit Rudy with 5min left

score was 106-90

After the Amen oop, and Bari missed 3 - Alpi and FVV the only people to shoot ball for final 3+ min of the game as our lead evaporate

Jalen last shot was a 3 to make it 104-90 with 5:41 left

 

bara did not close out naz
jalen let ant blow by
alpi got tight and missed 2 fts
holiday too small on the switch

game

 

Bari was on Randolph
Amen was on Ant
Holiday wasn’t in the game the last 6:39 (left score was 101-88) Yall get on Gods internet and just type anything

 

Rockets ****in blew it.

 

Re-watched the game, if not for Naz we won't be talking about getting clowned (when Ackerman said it before the diaster). VanVleet shooting Curry type 3s and Sengun not hitting FTs. And as important exhaustion, they stood when TWolves were doing layup drills. Understandable no one wants to get hurt before New Year. The last 2 minutes was just Sengun and VanVleet with little, or 0 ball movement. The lesson is don't be afraid to foul, T Wolves weren't hitting FTs this game.

 

these idiots don’t actually watch games lol

 

You think Al Gore is god?

 

This was the first loss in a long ass time that actually got me a little pissed. I didnt want to consume any Rockets content after.

 

Jaters glance past the 40M elephant in the room to keep jating.

That’s love right there!

Ime could have been more creative with his lineup on the 2nd night of a B2B. Hope he learns from this.

 

Jalen should’ve been involved in the last few plays when it was obvious Sengun was dead.

 

Fvv took 3 terrible shots instead of playing like a real pg..he's supposed to be the vet and run a proper offense . He didn't set up Sengun or green ..he decided he wanted the credit.. all of last 3 shots was chucked.. rockets need a real pg and taller PG.. I love fvv but he did his job growing up the kids .he's not the guy for this team

 

Bingo!

 

He was ....the one dribbling the ball away......I did not know what I watched......who throws away the game like that and thinks it is streetball dribble?

 

Took a shower. Did we win yet?

 

Looked back at the highlights. It seems Jabari boosted Wolves momentum with lazy plays. With down 7 points, Jabari just watched Naz's missed 3-pointer and forgot to box out for the rebound, giving an easy 2nd chance layup for Naz. On the 2nd play, he clumsily slipped for an easy 2-point slam for Randle. Jabari is just atrocious on defense. I do not know why you guys keep blaming FVV for the loss for simply missing the shots.

 

If we're able to look past dejounte Murray's ego, rockets should go get him.

Lanky, tall, wide wingspan, play defense and improved his shots. He's only 28.

Edit: wait nvm. Idk wth I was looking at. His % is terrible lol

 

He's not getting the blame for just his shots.. any game that's close.. fvv finds away to shoot us out or turn the ball over.. he's not a PG ..he's sg at heart.. he doesn't know how to run a pt

 

Don't be daft. There were three players between Alpi and the hoop.
They just went with tradition and just froze after getting Alpi the ball.
This is on Ime who still does not have an effective play for these occasions.

 

Yes, and prime Shaq was a piece of shyte as well because his FT% was low.

 

Shaq wasnt shyte… but he also did deservedly get called out for not being able to make his free throws. The fact that you’re bringing him up is proving the point hah. So it was a clear weakness for Shaq that everyone was aware of.

Anyway, no one is saying Sengun is shyt, he was clearly our best player last night. But it’s also fair to say he needs to get better at free throws.
