ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/30/2012

Man, be real. Rubio is a rookie playing in what, his 20th game?? The problem is you can't say that we have a player better than him. It's very questionable whether we have one as good as him ........ at the current moment. Now project ahead another 30 games. There's just no comparison. We do not have any superstars. And Minnesota has TWO of them.

 

Scola kept him relatively in check this game. Love didn't start going off until he was on Pat in the 3rd.

Dragic had no one under the basket to pass to. Everyone was standing at least 10ft away from the basket when he penetrated.

 

Lowry might be the better player right now by a little bit but Rubio is so young as has so much upside. I think your fandom is blinding you a little bit if you'd take Lowry over Rubio.

 

It wasn't like this at the beginning of the season, though. I don't know if the rest of the league was slow back then, or if he's just become really slow now. It's really frustrating to watch. Reminds me of back in the day when we had to rely on a hobbled McGrady with no burst to make plays, because no one else on the team could.

 

I guess Lowry was a passenger in C Lee's car.

 

My seven-month old daughter said her first words tonight! Unfortunately they were "double Michael Beasley".

 

If that's the case, I wonder how Patterson would have played him.

 

Nobody gonna call out Goran Dragic horrible game


Lowry played a good game with the minutes he was given

Dragic was awful


P.S. I think Lowry is worn down from all the minutes, and is hiding an injury

 

Well, whatever the state of Lowry, he didn't single handedly give up 42 pts in the 3rd. They will just have to fix it.

 

LMAO ROCKETMAN95

 

Maybe? The record shows different right now. Depends on what Morey can pull for this team. If I was thinking about tanking and drafting for the future I would take Rubio over Lowry easily. I dont know what Moreys plan is but right now Lowry is better and if he can ever get that star he wants? Lowry is better to go along with that star than Rubio is. Obviously Rubio is not making that big a difference for the Twolves to be above 500 yet. Playing next to a Superstar already and having a the better coach according to our fans.

 

And yet they're 10-11. :grin:

 

Kyle doesn't look like Kyle. I wonder what's up with him.

 

We can't win every game, we have the same record with Spurs and Lakers. No one expected that, but Rocks need to get in the program of playing defense, not soft defense. If we score 108 pts, we should win this game.

 

Lol that cracked me up , props

 

I completely agree. Somethingg is def going on, either at home, or in the locker room or just something mental. I hope it changes soon. I miss the old Lowry who was a difference maker in our games.

 

Maybe the injury's nagging him.

 

The bench made a run earlier in the game when Hill was in. With an offensive presence under the basket his drives to the basket are more effective.

 

I think Luis shoulda been on the court at the start of the 4th quarter, we weren't getting stops so we were playing 5on5 with no reference, and we needed offensive stability at that moment of the game. Without Love on the court, he could have sustained our offense.

Great game by the Wolves. Very solid defense; Beasley playing like the best Melo and Rubio like Deron Williams. Love playing like the all-star he is. This is why these type of teams are always dangerous, they have enough talent to beat any team (more a team like the Rockets), you gotta be prepared for their best potential, probably we didn't played hard enough today.

We can do some adjustments for the game of the next Saturday in Minnesota.

Now let's use the anger of this lose to steal the game in San Antonio, we can do it with a solid game.

 

Dragic might as well start against the Spurs on Wednesday...
