    Porous defense, horrible offense, missed free throws, stupid fouls, very few rebounds. The role players simply destroyed the Rockets. What happened to their defense? Why did they only shoot jumpers? What is it about the Timberwolves and the Rockets? I feel that the T-wolves are one of the most mediocre teams in the league, yet they look like champions when they play the Rockets. What is it about this matchup?
    Can the Rockets beat Cleveland?

    One thing I forgot to mention is that Carlos played very well and was the only positive in this game. He should start at Center until Cato or Hakeem comes back.

    River,

    No kidding, how much longer until we see Langhi get some SERIOUS play?

    If he shoots within 2% of Bullard or Walt, he would be a HUGE improvement, with his rebounding and defense and athleticism.

    Rudy, WAKE UP !!! Play Langhi...before the season is over.

    I wouldnt go as far to say that this was one of our worst games of the season. We got good shots, we just didnt hit them. The wolves shot very well. I thought we played pretty good D we just let them have a couple weakside baskets that killed us. We actually picked up man to man pretty well in transistion play.Francis started out hot and had about 3-4 layups that killed me because they rolled in and out, nothing you can do about that. I agree, Bullard and Walt just aint cuttin it. At least with Langhi in there you know your gonna get player who crashes the board and runs the floor. Alot of the Wolves fastbreak points came as a result of our 3's not gettin back in time. If wiz or bull aint hittin their shots then they give you nothing on the court, absolutely nothing. At least with Langhi you get something even if he's not hittin

    TPL,

    Exactly, I hear that Langhi is lighting it up in practice, sometimes I think Rudy is too loyal for his own good.
