ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/7/2003

i get upset and doubtful after every loss but hopefull and excited before every game and everytime a new sticky rockets vs. oppenent thread come on. i love this site and i love the rox!

rox will be fired up they lost in a bad way to goldenstate


rox-108
t wolves-96


although yao has hit the rookie wall i expect
20p 13r 3b
steve is upset he got the ball stole from him and missed a jumper at the end.
34p 6r 6a

the bench will step up in this game. expect a quick start
I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!! GO ROX!!!!!!!!!!

 

After watching so many losses, I won't predict anymore...it's unrealistic. Losses after losses, the rox are making the same mistakes over and over again. I'm kind of disappointed.

Just hope the rox can play a team game and make it enjoyable.

 

I predict :

Steve will dribble off his foot
Moochie will dribble in circles
Cat will jack up a ridiculous dry heave
Glen will look old and slow
Eddie will look lost
Mo will fail to rebound
Yao will look frustrated
Cato will board and hit the oop
Posey will hustle
Boki will sit
Tmo will sit and cheer
Hawk will sit and frown
Collier will be "injured"
Rudy will get that ''deer in the headlights" look at least twice during the game.

In spite of the above...rox can still win it! ...please play Posey more at 3 and Cato at 4. Hope you get going early Eddie. And I don't mean shots. Hey Mo! Start that stare-down fight thing with KG again! 2 double techs and we're in this one!

Emily and I will be cheering our team all the way. She's getting a little confused about this supporting a boneheaded, losing team thing, but hey, she's only 6.

 

Age is not a excuse; who is not ?

 

It's hard to predict the result.

But Yao will do better than his first facing Garnett.

 

yao always plays better his 2nd time around

just think the 2nd time we play the lakers or spurs or mavericks and pacers..he already played great against them the 1st time..

 

This game is going to be live on Optus and Foxtel in Australia at 12:30 (Eastern Time)!!! The last Rockets game that was telecast was vs. Spurs (Yao Ming's big game). Hope the same happens this time as well.

My prediction: Rockets 97 T-Wolves 84

 

I'm worried about the poor shooting percentage. Shooters are always unpredictable and Rice hasn't been doing well at all. If Mobley doesn't have a good game then the Rockets will be in serious trouble.All the pressure would come down on Francis and Yao which would be too much to overcome.

 

So from your prediction, it appears that you're saying Posey and Cato will lead the team tomorrow night...

Hopefully you're not saying that, but please please please avoid posting stupid, meaningless, b****y crap like that after any given loss...

 

You're a bit mistaken, he played well against the Pacers only the second time around (that was one of those games you're talking about where he came back to a team with a vengeance).

On another note:
CAN ANYONE CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT WALLY WILL BE PLAYING TOMORROW???

 

Nope. I am afraid you are wrong.
Yao played much better against Spurs the second time. He also played much better against Divac of Sacramento the second time around. Articles mention that Yao studies his opponent he deems worthy extensively.

 

KG is gonna kill us.

But we will win.

 

LEt me make my prediction:

Yao: 5 pts 1 RB 6 Fouls

Stevie: 10 pts 3 RBS 5 Ast

Mobley: 9 pts 4 RBS 3 Ast

Rice: 10 pts 5 RBS 1 Ast

Griffin: 2 pts 7 RBS 5 fouls

Rockets 67 Wolves 120

DOn't worry, my predictions are always wrong.

 

your predictions always change too

 

NO ****! Then stop making them!

 

if the final score is anywheres close to that ill give u my celica gts for free! smart guy

 

I think the Timberwolves will win, but it will be a squeaker.

The position that's going to give me fits is at PF. They are going to have to rotate Ming, EG, and MoT because it's going to be a long night.

And since Szczerbiak is back, Mobley, Posey and Hawk are going to have to step up on him.

But I fear the guys that are going to kill us are Gary Trent, Kendall Gill and Rasho Nesterovic. Usually it's the nobodies that don't do squat end up like All-Stars against us.

P.S. - SLA, damn, man....you are averaging 32 posts a day?!?! Haven't seen the sun lately?!?

 

i think the rocks wil win after a bad los against the wariors they wil want to have a good game now. they wil want to show they are good.

 

"The Wolves activated guard Wally Szczerbiak from the injured list Monday, but he is not expected to play in Houston. An All-Star last season, Szczerbiak had been on the IL since November 19 with a sprained toe. He is averaging 18.3 points in four games"
