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

Yea and he's not a good coach. He wouldn't know good schemes, defense, or offensive sets if it close-lined him.

You can call it a maricale and say we didn't deserve it, but that stuff happens to every team. We've had tough breaks and bad beats too.

If it was a miracle, why is that we did the exact same thing to portland?

 

Yes, but that's irrelevant. The Rockets by giving this one away have left themselves with only 3 games and still needing 2 wins. Just assume at this point we have to win 2. Don't count on the Blazers doing us any favors.

 

The Trailblazers are going to win.....5th seed lol smh

 

Right now we're basically watching a worse version of last year's team since Beverley's out. Once again, we're complete crap on defense when Asik isn't on the court, so this loss shouldn't be surprising.

We gave up 39 fast break points? Wow. Wouldn't it be nice to have a legit PG that takes care of the ball? That's Beverley's main value on offense along with having a competent ability to make open threes.

 

We need 2 wins, or 1 win 1 loss by portland, or 2 losses by portland.

 

Parsons plays **** defense

Gets 2 TO in the last 3 min.

But he scored 25+,so it's OK, right guys

I miss Howard so much, he makes all our **** defenders look decent

 

Who cares if we get the 5 seed? The difference between 4/5 is what, Portland getting Game 7 at home? I don't see the Rockets even allowing that series to go to seven games as long as Howard and Beverley are healthy.

 

i think SGs from SA and NO are itching to play us right now since nobody is guarding that position and will most likely putting up career numbers. lol pathetic team effort all around.

 

Missed the game just saw the box score. Who suppose to be guarding Brewer?

 

Omri Casspi with nearly a game high +15 +/-.

 

Pretty much, he had a good 4th, trash for most of the game, I don't know what the fuss is about harden passing the ball, either him shooting a contested shot or passing to Lin for a 3 are acceptable

 

Worst is we lose HCA. Not a big deal if we think we can take Portland in 6.

 

Parsons had a good overall game. He did struggle with his shot after he took that hard fall on the Turiaf foul. But yes, he made some terrible mistakes in the final minutes. That offensive foul was huge. The Rockets score there and we're probably looking at OT at worst.

 

stop saying, it ****ing matters, why don't you compare on record at home compared to on the road...damn

 

McHale. That's why they're talking about firing him in the other thread.

 

I want to look at the replay, but from memory, Lin was very open while there were three players surrounding Harden. The right play to me was to throw it to the open teammate.

 

Patty Mills and Marco Belinelli and Brian Roberts or Anthony Morrow or Tyreke Evans will go off next, ha.

Well yea it shouldn't make a difference, but u still wanna get in the PO with confidence not on a bad slump.

 

The difference is advancing to round 2 or continually failing.
