ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 2/23/2015

Kind of disappointing that we gave up a double double to a PF that had about 30 total minutes of NBA experience that was making his first ever start, but at least we won.

 

No, I'm going to the game. Last night I went to the Clippers at Rockets game, the Rockets won.

 

FWIW I believe Ariza will be moved if we are in a position to get a star level player. There is a strong market for Ariza, but we have potentially a number of options at that spot. Really, if we had another scorer no one would complain about the missed 3's by Ariza... Hopefully his shot comes around, if it does, the Rockets will be very tough to stop.

 

If the Rockets don't get their "mojo" back, and look at least somewhat sharp your prediction will come true. Essentially the Rockets are in a mini slump that began right before the break. There are some hopeful signs, Harden working his way back to form, TJ coming around, Brewer having some highlights, and Josh Smith playing solid. Aside from that, brick city. Trevor, please, please DRIVE to the basket. Stop bricking threes!

 

That PF was 4 for 15 from the floor for 11 points... That is terrible. He had double digit rebounds but the teams combined to shoot 36% from the field... There were literally 130 missed shots and and free throws.. Someone was going to get big rebound numbers... Except DMO, who had as many boards as Jason Terry.

 

Damn Harden is ridiculous. How Steph Curry is the media favorite for MVP is beyond me. If it was Lebron with these numbers the award would be all but awarded by now.

That'll happen when you are playing out of position. Anyway, we can just be thankful that the Wolves don't have a competent PF or we'd have probably lost this game.

 

Did anyone else notice all the seams on the Rockets' floor tonight? They need to switch to field turf next season.

 

The guys in the national media that have votes seem to be team Harden or team Neutral. Simmons, Lowe, Aldridge, Stein just off the top of my head.

 

missed the game, how was prigioni? seemed like he didnt do much on the stat sheet

 

Moved the ball around and did a good job bringing the ball back out to reset the play. He also missed three open threes, probably trying to fit in with his new team and not get shunned. Apparently, bricking threes is the cool thing to do on our team.

 

Great win. Harden really clowned rubik's cube.
Smoove hitting thos 3s

Really would love to stick it to the clips.

wiggins is a stud

 

Lol meant last time, not last night. Thanks for pointing that out whoever left the anonymous rep.

 

Curry is the boy scout image the NBA wants to represent. Harden is the guy who goes to strip clubs and parties. Both guys take their jobs on the court seriously though.

 

Dang y'all...I really just love watching James Harden play basketball.

 

Lets now put down Curry who is every bit as deserving as Harden. I think Harden has a bigger burden so he is my MVP atm, but we dont need to ignore the amazing season Curry is having.
