ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 4/11/2014

Lin's had plenty of practice getting a ball from Harden with <2 seconds left on the clock

Ha...

 

We just loss to a team that's worse than the spurs b team. Not going to be an easy game.

 

3/10, 3/6 from 3pt, 14 points, 5/6 FT, +2 for the night. He was shooting fine from the 3 point line and from the FT line. And getting an uncontested shot up is still better than a TO.

14 points on 10 shots is fine. The TO's were bad, but his scoring was fine.

The entire team played poorly. Corey Brewer put up 51 points... there's lots of blame to go around on that. All around bad team defense.

Brewer was on fire as well.

 

Big key of the game

Parsons 2 TO in the last 3 min.

Every SG and SF should feel embarrassed for giving up 50 to a scrub

 

Exactly, Lin has proven time and time again he can't be counted to come through when needed to. Look he had his chance these last few games with Beverley out.

 

you have to put the ball in your best players hand

 

What does that have to do with anything? The dude was saying he shouldn't have passed to Lin because he shot 3-10 but from deep he shot 50%. He was also wide open.

 

3 years and counting

 

Why exactly are you guys crying about double teaming Brewer? Literally 30+ points came from transition. Only thing he scored at all in the half court were from dumb fouls on jump shooters...

 

The defense is why the team lost. 51 points by Brewer, many on easy fast break baskets due to bad transition D. Also allowing way too many offensive boards. I wonder if Asik is getting exhausted holding down the D almost by himself. He isn't nearly as energetic tonight as he had been a few games earlier.

The team scored well enough, but you just can't give up that many transition and 2nd chance baskets-- those tend to be rather high % opportunities.

 

some people here would rather us lose than see lin hit a game winner lmao

 

I told you guys in another post, for us to go to another level ,Harden has to grow up and start playing some D, stop trying to get his on offense and stop trying to be the point guard.

 

And if that happened Lin fans would scream because Harden passed Lin the ball with only a couple seconds left.

 

rofl!

 

I think we had a timeout left, with 4.0 seconds left. Wish we called it!!

Tough loss to swallow.

 

I'm worried about tmrw because of this

 

we didn't

 

LOL:grin:

 

I cannot believe placement in the playoffs will come down to the last few games of the season AGAIN! Last year Rockets were in the same boat and lost to the Lakers and that put the rockets in a first round matchup with OKC. if Rockets would have won that game Rockets probably would have been the GSW of the playoffs last year.

I cant believe the team knowing they need a couple games to seal a seed and then they can sit by the pool until april 20 they still don't bring the effort.
