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

I’d rather watch a loss by 25 than watch something like this, but objectively I think this kind of loss helps a team more. There are actually things to learn from as opposed to just having to play harder.

Ultimately, this is a single game in a long season, and if we can actually get better from it, I suppose it will have been worth it. But mannnn am I pissed today

 

Dumb coaching in last minute.

We still had 24 seconds left with 1 pts loss.

A quick shot in 15 seconds.
Foul If we missed it.

Then we still had a chance to even.

Coaching sucks.

 

I had to do a triple take…had to check that I was on the right date…had to check that the app wasn’t glitching

nah, that can’t be the Rockets-Wolves score

 

It has been brought to my attention that we had no timeouts left, so I will henceforth stop b****ing about not calling a timeout.

I will, however, continue to b**** about FVV until he invariably shuts me up with a big game

 

6'4 PF Slow JaeSean Tate was on the Floor late in the 4th guarding Anthony Edwards.

 

.... the 5 threes he previously made also put the Rockets up big. You are overreacting to the final 2 minutes.

Again, the FTs are what killed us from FVV.

 

It's not like he was rubbing Gobert's hair after a made basket like Murray on Jabari a couple of seasons ago.

 

Holy cow what is this halftime show for LAC-GSW?!?!

I thought the Rockets down the stretch was the worst thing I'd seen tonight....

 

10 point lead with 2:30 left.

Alperen Sengun gets lazy and doesn't defend Naz Reid 3 pointer.
Fred VanVleet fouled Anthony Edwards 3 point play.
JaeSean Tate, Jabari Smith playing over Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore is a Criminal act by Ime Udoka.

Anthony Edwards saw JaeSean Tate and shot the 3 pointer like it was easy work.

 

Oh ok let’s just ignore those shots in the last 2 minutes because he made shots earlier in the game gotcha

 

Didnt he just get his coach fired lol

 

You are better than this Stephen A. This game is clearly on Ime. So what if Sengun missed a FT. He and Amen as usual were the 2 best players in the game. Let Rocketchump do his thing and dump on the guy that played 41 minutes, scored 38 pts and 12 rebounds. Anybody blaming Jalen or Sengun are just haters that could care less about this team and being objective about this game. They just want their guy to be named the best player on the team by forum members. Why that matters is beyond me.

 

Turns out torching a timeout on the Alpe charge challenge was a pivotal decision. Ime needs to ignore Alpe's twirly finger. He can't be trusted

 

I think Spo is safe, Mike Brown did get fired though

 

Oh they were talking about Jimmy. Good lord Himmy is too expense we'd have to gut the team and we'd be worse lol

 

Most coaches ignore their players spinny hands unless it’s multiple guys, but Ime is truly a player’s coach

 

Please shut up about the back to back.

No one played more than 31 minutes last night. (Amen 31 Green 30 Jabari 28 Cam 27 Fred 26 Sengun 25)

Didn’t lose because of the b2b. They just choked. Caught playing with their meat.

The Kids aren’t logging tall timbers out there @Os Trigonum

If you want me to go all Ime, allowed 35/37 points in the 2nd/4th quarters. Not Udoka basketball.
Missed 7 free throws (Sengun 4 Fred 2 Jalen 1)

Up 16 (106-90) under 5 (4:57) to play, gotta close that out.

 

That franchise is cursed........Mike Brown did very well there, probably lost some of the veteran's ear.

 

Why did we let Fred chuck logo shots with only 1 pt loss?
