ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 1/7/2007

Umm....they're NOT a weaker team, what are you smoking? We don't have half of our offense playing for us.

It's a tough loss, but I liked the way we battled...we just made way too many mental mistakes (Novak, Rafer I am looking at you) down the stretch.

I am much more worried about the game tomorrow night, we exhausted way too much energy in this game to lose like that.

 

I agree....I never bashed him because I knew he was a decent player. He can shoot spot up without a hand in his face but play some D on him and he will miss all night. He was great at Marquette but thats college where the D is no where near the NBA level. If he bulks up just a little and learns to shoot with someone in his face then he could be our next Bullard but we will have to see.....

 

that's pretty harsh man.

 

Shane Battier's 3-pointer at the buzzer can't save the Rockets.......103 vs 99 Loss !!

 

We need a point guard for Rocket to go anywhere. Look at Rafler stat today, 4/17, 3 assist. This ain't gonna cut even if we have both TMac and Yao healthy.

 

but Rafer is still out best defensive PG, you guys think Lucas or Head will have any chance defending M.James?

Rafer sucked, but M.James shot only 3/12

 

I don't. Novak can only be used to draw KG's attention, coz he hasn't got a decent play time this season so far, and he has no feeling on NBA game, not to say a clutch NBA game.

 

Novak as Span don;t get much playing time, so what they do is play with a lot of pressure

Lucas handled it well

the other two, not so I guess

 

why novak shoots the ball at all remains a mystery.

 

But Novak was nicked SUPER, not suber~
and Rafer, he's just as usual~

 

Yao was horrible in his begginning in NBA. Luther made some horrible mistakes last year. But they grow up.
There is something called "growing pain".

 

Harsh? Rafer deserves it...

 

This loss is on Rafer. He is an idiot and a shoot first pass 2nd guard. We will not be a championship team with him period.

 

rafer + 4-17 shooting + horrible coaching job by JVG = rockets loss

 

not harsh enough, I love the rockets, and he will destroy us in the playoffs

guy is pure garbage

 

why the F**** novak was still in OT!?!!!!!!!

What the F****!!!!!!!! Novak sucks!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid JVG should've played Head!!!!!

 

rafer took bad shots at crucial moments of the game (that rushed 3 with 1mn to go was sick, he should be suspended for that lol)
novak missed 2 shots but they were good shots, wide open ... blount owned him on the other end but we cant blame novak for that, why was he defending a C anyway ?

 

wwow we didnt deserve to win that


and i cant believe the amount of times i heard "rafer to the whole with a tear drop...airball"


and i agree with letting jl3 stay in there...and my god what was wrong with tmac tonight

 

thats why he made that clutch 'in the paint' two pointer in OT, something VSpan does all the time

 

Yeah i posted that earlier but some rookie said something like " worry about that later." I really think we match up better against the Bulls because they don't have KG-Long Arms-get every call-Jump on your back-Garnett " on their team....
