ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 2/4/2008

1st? win!

 

2nd too? lol

99-88 ROX win

 

Here's to hoping there won't be a letdown...

85-81 Rockets win, Yao 28 and 14.

 

Should be a win --> Wolves 89 - Rockets 99

 

In the long run, minnesota fans will look back at the KG trade and say it was the best move they have ever made. I say that because al jefferson is the real deal. The t- wolves are playing their best basketball of the season and should not be taken lightly! In the words of scola, "fight..fight...fight!"

 

exactly, minny could soon be like the blazers. they have a potentially great big man in al jefferson, good perimeter players around him... just too young and inexperienced.

but as you've seen, as the season progresses, they have been very good. they've taken many good teams down to the wire. we can't take them lightly.

 

Yup, another must win for us. GS, Portland, Utah, and Denver are losing many games right now. We can't afford to fall another game behind.

 

I'm hoping we can put this game away early and get Yao and T-mac some rest. Becasue we have to play the Cavs next and they have been playing pretty well as of late.

 

Keys for the game:
1. Play good D on Al cuz he is on fire!!! Also on Gomes!!!!
2. Again!!! Make Fts. Last game, we were horrible!!!
3. Point guards, we need you guys to play well.
4. We want the January Yao back!!!
5. T-Mac, Battier and Bonzi keep it up!!!


Key Matchup
The Centers are the Keys for the game:

Yao Ming have been struggling in the last two games, but he will need to step up for us in that game. He is a key for us in that game, we need him to win.


Al Jefferson is hot as a fire. He is playing the best basketball of his carrer, till now. Yao need to play good D on him, not like Bogut, cuz we will get killed. Al is way better than Bogut.

OBSERVATIONS:

1. The Wolves are right now playing their best basketball of the season!!! The y have win 5 of their last 7, which is a lot for them.
2. Last two games, Gomes, 25 points, 10 rbs and 18 points and 9 rbs
3. In the last games, look at some intressing stats that Al have put:
39, 15
40, 19
26, 20
4. The Rockets have now win 7th streak games in road. Longest since 1994.
5. THe Rockets have win 12 of their last 15.

Note: That game is very important for the Rockets, cuz the West is tight and they have to win this one. Their next game is against the cavs who are a very good team and anything could happen vs team.

Prediction:
Rockets win

 

11th!

WIN

 

I hope there is more movement without the ball in this game than there has been in the last two games. Here's hoping both Alston and Yao get out of their slumps. Brooks and Alston also need to push the ball and penetrate the lane and get back to how they were playing in January.

 

Id like to see T-Mac blowout in this game, like around 40 points.

 

T-Mac played exceptionally well against the Bucks because no one can mark him. Similarly, the Wolves don't have anybody who can guard T-Mac. I expect another strong shooting by Tracy. I predict that he'll end up with 35 pts and 9 assists. Yao will bounce back from last night's mediocre performance by scoring 28 pts and yanks down 15 rebs. Final score, Rockets 113 - 90 Wolves.

 

Top 20!! And of course Rox win 101-85.

 

as well as the twolves have been playing lately, 13 point win.

yao owns jefferson and gomes plays well.

 

Mutumbo drops 37pts 14 rbs & 13 blocks & Synder contributes 27pts and 11 assist

Rox win again!!

 

We have to win to keep up pace with the rest of the West.

 

#20?
win!!
blowout!!!
