ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 1/7/2007

If there has been one neutralizer to McGrady's game in all his years, it has been Kevin Garnett. You can tell, Tmac has great respect for him on post game interviews over the years.

 

Does anyone know if the game will be on HD?

 

Another win. Mac 45 pts, 7 rbs, 9 assists.

Mac is great!!!

 

Mate, hope the following tips help:

-make sure you got the latest version of PPmate, which is V1.7.2.31(p2p softwares are usually version-sensitive);
-right-click on the interface, choose 'Options', and try out each of the three 'ISP' options on the 'System' tab (China Telecom is usually the choice);
-have a little faith

 

theres just something negative about sunday day time games, although i remember beating the clippers in one last year, but still i hate these games, hopefully the rockets prove me wrong and pull one out, but i think we have a better chance of beating the spurs in san antonio than winning today...please god prove me wrong

 

ppmate is working crappy for me. works for like 10 secs, then buffers more, then works again. kinda sucks.

 

Many thanks. Am trying right now.

 

been sitting on 1% buffering for awhile now.

 

same

 

another yahoo play by play for me again. damn i need to move back home.

 

me too, son of a $&#&%!!!!

 

It has a little something to do with the fact that KG is almost as quick as T-Mac is with a much longer reach/wingspan.

I am sure they will put him on T-Mac in stretches, but I doubt a PF is going to guard a SG for the entirety of the game.

The problem we will always have with these big PFs in the West is the fact that we have nobody to match up with them. Stro gave us some size/speed and we could put him on guys like KG for a good chunk of the game. But now, KG can just shoot right over JHo and Hayes all day long and not even break a sweat.

I think we might not have much choice but to put Deke on him and hope for the best.

Still, the key today will be keeping Blount and others in check.

 

Is T-Mac bleeding? Why does he keep looking at his right hand?

 

I doubt it works

 

left hand

 

So I guess the T-Wolves will double T-Mac right off the bat.

Someone will have to step up and knock down some shots tonight. The T-Wolves are a good defensive team and have a lot of length compared to our midgets.

 

Wolves playing really aggresive, and with a ton of energy... if they keep it up, it will be tough to stick with them.

 

OK, we're cold tonight, and I don't know if McGrady's thumb is bothering him or not, does anyone know if it's his shooting hand?

They're double/triple-teaming McGrady everytime he tries to make a move...

 

the wolves game plan is pretty obvious.

they are scared of our half court defense so they want to run the ball as much as possible.

the answer is to score and get back on defense.

 

Left hand.... not shooting hand (but he's already turend it over twice when dribbling with the off hand, so its likely bothering him).
