ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 12/27/2024

Alpi needs to make the free throws.

Fred needs to stop calling for the ball on that last play.

Alpi should have gone to the basket.

 

They had one timeout remaining. I don't mind not letting Minnesota set up their defense. But the Rockets looked they didn't know what to do on that last possession.

 

What a garbage arse loss ! No timeout there? Cant stand Edward’s never liked his arrogant arse !!!!

 

Brutal. Why didn’t Ime call time out?

 

This team is fraudulent yet you have some people in here saying we don't need to make a move and let the guys have 1 playoff run.

**** outta here

 

We are not putting this loss on Green. He made one bad play this game.

 

How do you not call a timeout Ime?

 

Tf you blaming Jalen for? you guys have a weird ****ing hatred for Jalen. Blame Ime and his terrible coaching down the stretch.

 

We need a closer.
We have a lot of potential closers, but Fred aint one of them.

I hate him.

 

<sigh>

 

Thea guys were already celebrating smh

 

He is outcoached again

 

Their superstar made the play

We’re fumblin’ stumblin’ Sengun you take it no Fred you take it no someone just take it!

 

I really blame Fred and Jalen for this loss. Fred taking bad shots. Jalen seemed to turn the ball over and kill our momentum multiple times and let guys blow by him and score in the final minutes. So tired of our back court. So much money and minutes tied up in Jalen and Fred and they continue to drag down this team. No positive consistency there. What a crap loss.

 

That was a critical offensive rebound. I get that the Rockets are tired, but you have to come up with that.

 

This is what will happen in the playoffs when Houston needs a bucket when the D gets tight. There isn’t anyone on this team that can go get it reliably and when it matters and Ime’s offensive scheme doesn’t help.

 

That's what time outs are for

Rocket River

 

I just told a friend today the rockets have no superstar to go to in that situation ! Really Fred takes the last shot?

 

We had a timeout, and we should’ve called it after the first post didn’t work.

Instead, FVV decided to chuck up an off-balance three, and the cherry on top is that it bounced so far we had no rebound.

This loss is on Fred, and on Ime for not calling a timeout during the entire Wolves run. And for that stupid challenge that we were obviously not going to win.

But we played well, and for stretches I felt like I saw the next elite team in the NBA, especially with our young guys on the floor.

When Fred came back in, we decided to start playing slower…but at the cost of what got us a big lead in the first place. Playing to win vs playing not to lose etc etc

This is a bummer
