ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 3/27/2015

Will TJ be back? Or are we going to see Capela for some extended minutes?

 

wolves gave bud a good contract but it never worked out. he has a po this offseason. morey should try to get him here. opt out and sign a 3 yr deal, 4-6m. he wont get much better offers after the bad run he had with the wolves.

he can make the open shots our brick bros kept missing all season long. plus he can slash the basket well enough to be a threat. has goood size. dunno what he's added to his game so there's that and experience.

 

Everyone is 7-10 days away.

Beverley 7-10 days to determine his next step.
Jones 7-10 days for his lung
Papanikolaou 7-10 days for his ankle
Motiejunas is 7-10 days [or 1-2 weeks] for his back

Rockets have 14-19 days left in their regular season schedule.

 

Ignore the fact that at the end of games, the scrubs were in and did some random crap that led to easy transition buckets to pad the Wolves score, the Rockets also score 15 more points than the Wolves typically give up (120 vs. 105 average).

Isn't that kind of good?

Crap. It's getting tighter than a vir...'. uh, nevermind. Damned tight, that's what it is. We need them all back, and before the end of the freakin' season.

Great win.

 

guess Dwight plays the Wizards games because thats ABC and all.

He must play the Mavs games - thats a division game and could have bearing on the tiebreaker for 2nd place.

 

I just realized, Dorsey and Capella are going to get big minutes vs either the Raptors or Wizards if DMO/Jones indeed out 7 days

 

I notice that the coaches gave Ariza the "green light" to shoot those long midrange shots

That's one reason why he's been comfortable lately; he doesn't need to force 3s. When he's in the long court, esp, at the start of games, he takes 1-2 steps closer the the basket, and the result is he's been swishing in his shots.

 

Remember the old Bullard fundamental saying?your shot is not falling get a little closer to the basket.

 

I like how Howard got his points. I don't like forcing it to him in the post.

 

Bullard never shot a two so what does he know :grin: seriously, of course it can. If your shot is short on threes a lot, you damn right it matters if you take 1 or 2 steps in.

Now that is awesome, great camaraderie there and Jet like what you doing James, that was for Trevor. The ball bouncing all around was funny too

 

What if TJ accidentally stomps him doe? Brings back memories vs UH.

 

You always want to win the first game in back to backs.

 

What happened to D Mo?

 

Back pain at shoot around.

 

Great to see Howard having a big game, and to see Harden getting his 3 point shooting going.

That can be huge for us in the playoffs.
