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

Classy.

 

Tpup's problem is at the defensive end. They should play D than they do now. If they can tighten it up, they will be a force again. Their O is ok. But when I say SamC dribbled the entrie poession to miss a critical shot down the strech in 4th, I was like "boy, thank god, we got rid of Francis." Now, I love Steve.

 

They're 11th best in the NBA in points allowed, and 13th best in FG%. By contrast, Sacramento is 19th and 16th.

 

Then, why most of the night they shoot well, but still lose. You have to look at critical plays as well. From what I saw last night, they can play better D than they did, they've got the personnel.

 

you know the whole spree was poking the ball away, i saw a little smirk or semi grin on tmac's face lol...and then he just drills the three...thas money right there

 

that almost goes without sayiing....

I think NIKE's point was that you cant put all of the Wolves problems on defense since they have a pretty good defense most of the time as evidenced by their rankings....

that point was not necessarily in regard to last night.....

they did not play as good D as they can....but then again....we have been pretty good on the offensive end lately...

 

If anything it seems like a lot of the T-Wolves' woes are coming on the glass. As I read in the AP recap of this game, they were outrebounded for the 9th consecutive game. You won't win too many games playing like that. Those offensive and defensive numbers aren't nearly as impressive if the opponent continually gets extra possessions.

 

T-wolves have been one of the worst rebounding teams the whole season. Garnett does more of the work but they really lack on the glass and it doesn't give them many second chance opportunities during the games.

 

Pronounce it 'One Eleven"

 

Their center was too busy picking up fouls to rebound.

 

I'm a YOF pronounce it "Eleven One".

 

interesting stat on McGrady's 40 pt. night considering the trade Steve had one 40 pt. game in 2 years Mcgrady has 4 before the All Star Break, Anyone else love this guy man oh man!?

 

I could care less how many points he scores as long as we win and cut down on bone head plays that we have had in the past, high turnovers, and not being able to run an effiecent fast break.

Thanks again R2k! on Non-Rockets nights i just watch your highligh videos and others over and over.. its real entertaining to focus on one player throughout a game, it really makes this Sura bashing ludacris.

Edit: No no Sura doesn't have anything against Rapper Ludacris or Donyell Marshell.

 

Thanks!

 

You are the man R2K!

 

R2K, thank you so much!!!!

 

Is it just me or did Bill Worrell kinda stuttered and stammered through his comments when the T-pups' cheerleaders were performing at the end of the highlights?

BTW, thanks R2K!...But where is the chick in the stands?

 

Has anyone else fell in love with this group of players yet? I have, heterosexual love
