    I'm pretty sure everyone was yelling about this. I was listening to the radio and Gene mentioned it so I figured everyone knew the situation but apparently the five on the court didn't or they weren't informed by the bench. When it got down to about 5 or 6 seconds I was just waiting to hear a foul on someone, but sadly it never came and we know what happened from there.

    Crispee,

    I was wondering about this as well. They could have made Minnesotta inbounds with about 3-4 seconds left.

    Willis made this mistake, I think this team needs to play together a little longer.

    And for crying out loud, GET RID OF WALT !!! Play Tmo or Langhi, they can not possibly be worse then Walt.

    I agree. They announced that Rockets had a foul to give and I predicted that the Wolves would use a variation of the pick and roll with Brandon and Garnett with Brandon taking the final shot.

    Having said that, I thought surely after a pick was set, the Rockets would foul Brandon...but they didn't!!!!! Huh???

    If you ask me...this is inexcusable.

    Maybe we shoud have Griffin in there covering Garnett simply because of his shot blocking. Not to say he would have blocked a Garnett shot, but at least alter it. And on a pick and roll, it would have been Griffin who would have switched on Brandon and could have made it a tougher shot to make. Willis didn't even jump. Ofcourse, it's easy to say things in hindsight, but you should always have your better defenders on court.
