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

man.. tmac looks really short.. more like 6"5 than 6"8

 

Here is the nick name for our duo: 111.

 

That's how many points per game we'll be averaging one of these seasons.

 

So who's number is first?

Great, great win!!!

To beat a team fighting for their playoff lives, on their court, and them also coming off a horrible loss; this was GREAT WIN!

Yao was unbelievable! He has really shown the knack of hitting shots in critical times of the game lately. I was shocked to see he only has 23 points cause it seemed he was scoring at will at times. Looks like he ha sreallt started to assert himself on the offensive glass the last week or so, which is great. TMac was great as usual, especially with his game-tying shot at the end.

What is up with Howard? The man has been a beast on the boards the last two games. He is absolutely giving us two out of three good PF attributes right now (hitting mid-range shot & rebounding. Not defending).

What can I say, a gutsy performance by all. Strickland played well, Wesley started the game off good by keeping us in it, and Sura was once again, well, Sura.

This team seems to have gained alot of chemistry between each other. It's nice to see the guys laughing it up together on the bench. etc. The mood around and concerning the team has done a complete 180 it seems. It's just nice to have that good feeling, about what is going on, again.

 

Great win. And don't forget that the Rockets don't even have all the pieces yet. With a real hard-nosed PF and a "more" pure PG, imagine how much more damage can be done.

 

on basketballreference it didn't have perdue listed. i'm pretty sure he was traded to get rodman.


and yeah haley was only on the one team, i didn't feel like looking up their roster the other two years. the bulls were pretty much on fumes by the end of '98 but rusty and joe were able to push them over the top.

 

Get this!

"I'm just playing my role," Howard said. "My role is to defend and rebound. Attacking the offensive board gets us second-chance points. Whatever it takes to help this team win, I'm all for it."


So, Juwan does know his role. Ok, step one, check.

Yao is becoming the Dragon. Looks like he is trying to grow a mustache, maybe he can grow a Fu Man Chu mustache and look more intimidating.

GO ROCKETS!

 

man, it was a nice game. can i get some highlights please

 

I am not asking a loyt. just a PG with stockland's vision and sura's hustle.

 

yeah, that's what i was saying. no white guy perdue on the 96 championship team.

 

HUGE WIN!!! Awesome win, I' am just really proud of how this team has come together....AND man how about Tracy. Damn he is sooo cold.

 

I'd take Stockton's hustle, too.
Sura is just... great!

 

This is the best game i watched Rockets played this season. Go Rockets!

 

I still don't like the fact that Yao gets no calls when he tries to slam the ball home. That block by Eddie was obviously a foul since all Eddie did was hit Yao's arm (no ball at all).

And the replay also showed that offensive board and slam by Yao was aslo fouled by some Wolves. Even the ESPN announcers commented that it was a clear foul.

 

One day its Barry scoring 15 in the 4th, the next its Padgett making the winning basket in the last second, the next its Juwan making an offensive RB. I am loving this team and its chances right now, we are finding a way to win with a different hero every night. You can see the teams confidence and chemistry is growing with every win. The Wolves are going in the other direction, man they really miss Mark Madsen.

 

how do you view torrent files...?
