ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 2/4/2005

Did Bill just say....."If the right one dont get ya then the left one will" ?? now that brings me back!!!

 

I got my money on Kwame

 

THis is the 2 man game we have been waiting on all year. They are really starting to gel together

 

TMac is drawing fouls and jumpers are going down, while Yao is playing great inside. Keep it up guys!

 

wow superb rebounding. 40-29, including 15-6 on the offensive glass. Thats domination

 

I missed it!!

 

Only 4 TOs, that is pretty impressive

 

Could Yao Ming be any softer? Jesus!


Thank God we have Tracy McGrady!

 

Wally is starting up now...

I really wanna win this game! Gotta step it into another gear

 

How was he soft?

 

so is yao the most unfairly officiated person in the history of the nba? at this point i'm leaning toward yes. the guy gets absolutely no latitude, no breaks whatsoever and then is called for anything and everything, by the letter of the law if necessary, when he does something wrong.


i mean my head was bouncing up and down while i was on a treadmill with closed captioning that i couldn't turn off going across the top of the screen and i could clearly see griffin clobber his arm. not the ball, not his wrist and some ball, not his wrist, his freakin' forearm, a good foot from the ball. and the refs don't give it to him. we always tell yao take it strong and that's his reward.

and then he gets called for traveling in the post WHILE DRIBBLING! i have never seen that call made in the history of the nba. in fact, i'm not sure you can call traveling while dribbling. you can call carrying, but not traveling. if you push the ball down without turning it over, you can take as many steps as you want before touching the ball again and resuming your dribble. assuming you never turn the ball over, you can't get called for traveling while dribbling the ball. the fact they called it in the post is one of the greatest calls i've ever seen. complete and utter bull****.


and here come the twolves.

 

Unreal. The refs just screw him left and right.

 

he is 8 of 16 with 9 rebounds, 5 offensive rebounds. NOT THAT BAD like you said. Tmac was 7 of 19, he is good, but without Yao's 19, don't know where rockets are right now. BTW: Kandi's 5 fouls in 8 minutes, you think that's from tmac?

 

LETS GO ROCKETS!!

 

Probably a bit of an overreaction on my part to Eddie Griffin taking the ball away from a few minutes ago. Yao's playing well, I am just wishing he could hold on to rebounds better.

 

Yao with a crazy turnaround from pretty far away!

 

HAHA Yao just said BullShiit

 

That's funny...I just heard YAO yell "bull****"

Were it not for Mac's 8-22, this wouold be the boxscore all of us dreamed of when the trade went down

 

i cannot believe sura fell for that. i knew cassell was doing that the second he crossed halfcourt. how could sura not know it. he does it all the freakin' time.
