    You're right. Rubio did stay overseas a couple of years, so there's a difference.

    Harden's defense in the last 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter makes me want to cry. He basically handed the Timberwolves 8 easy points single-handily.

    It looks like this team doesn't have any system to play the game. Just gun & run.

    You can thank Asik for 2 of those :( hope we do better 2nd half... Lin is playing sloppy hopefully he picks it up.

    Rockets playing terribly but only down a little. We got this. Wolves will get tired and then it's off to the races. Lin will not play this bad in the 2nd and Harden will start to wear them down on the drive and get calls.

    Looking at the last 3 games, is Morris an underrated defender? Haven't heard too much from Love this game.

    Despite playing terribly we're only down 3. Second half we can take control

    The boys should be over that flight by now and come out in the second half and kill them.

    Harden has to start hitting some shots and Lin has to stop turning the effing ball over..

    Why don't players or coaches make statements? If I was playing and didn't get the calls but opponents did, as a player I would either attack the referees or walk away during the game. As a coach, I would refuse to play and tell all the guys to hit the showers.

    And at least 1 of them was because the refs called a foul where there was only a Minnesota flop

    They weren't good passes. He's not Tracy McGrady, doesn't need you to make excuses for him.

    Wolves are playing pretty bad, with Love being cold. Hopefully, we can pick it up in the second half.

    no in fact i feel he is a terrible defender - -Love has missed some easy ones but Morris has gotten lost several times on pick and rolls and left himself or a teammate in terrible defensive position
