    Are centers can't handle power centers. Chuck used to contain them for us.

    Why did they shoot a FT, did some1 get a tech ?

    I can see what Morey is saying with regards to Lowry, he needs to be like he was off the bench. Running, being aggressive, being a leader !! What I see now is a wuss!

    I really thought Rockets were going to come out with more grit especially because of the last game.

    Why the hell are we not involving Pekovic and Love in a pick and roll every f--king time down the floor? Tire their slow asses out. That's what every other team does.

    See how ridiculous he looked when forced to switch on to Martin? damn.

    Pekovic has been playing well for them for a while now. He's what they hoped Milicic would be.

    Lol @ this team. Beat the thunder and lose to the Timberwolves at home.

    Our defense is really lacking right now, and thats a major understatement.

    scola - too soft, no defence, too slow.
    martin- NO DEFENCE.
    parson - too scared to shoot

    this team is too soft

    Seriously. Anything goes wrong and you guys start whining and spelling words like defense wrong. Relax. Be patient.

    Though... if Rick goes to a zone in the 4th again and we still can't do a damned thing against it I might go a bit crazy.

    Hill's a joke... he's developed a nice baby hook (though he tosses it up fading away from the basket/off balance too much), but he's dumber than a bag of hammers, is pathetic defensively, and has no fire. He seems indifferent.

    Hopefully he's rotting on the bench in a place like Charlotte this time next season.

    It is not about down how many points. it is about the way they are playing. No energy insider defense. Kick their ass if they do same thing in the second half.

    Minnesota's a good team. They're only going to get better game by game with a group of young players. They aren't the Minny of old so we should stop thinking of them that way.

    What's happened to Lowry of late?

    Pekovic has monster strength....it's been hard for opposing centers to stop just based on that.

    Hill's not the problem, it's our starters.

    Lowry has been inconsistent as hell lately. He gets too much of a break around here.
