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

Brooks hasn't looked very comfortable out there as of late. Maybe he's overthinking things? He seemed to have a tough time today against Randy Foye.

Scola was having a poor shooting night as well, missing the mid-range jumpers as well as a few near the baskets.

 

Not sure what happened to Hornets recently, seems they are playing like crap right now, maybe we can count them as one of those we can get over

 

there's room for both denver and houston in the playoffs.

now portland and golden state are the ones who need to lose!

 

An ugly, slow win. But I'll take it

 

u ever heard of playing over one's heads? that's what they did.

now they have fallen back to earth. there's a reason no one expected them to be that good b/c they're not.

the same thing is happening with the blazers. they're going to fall back to earth.

it's that time of the year where contenders separate from the pretenders.

 

I can only imagine. The GARM would self-destruct within a month.

 

It seems we would lose this game without TMac. But last time we played against TWolves we won so easily without TMac.

I'd like to see an elite Rox rather than a superstar plus a bunch of no-name players.

 

28-10

 

The Hornets are NOT playing over their heads, they are a legit playoff team.

 

I wouldn't count out the Hornets. The Jazz are simply a bad matchup for them. They're playing at home and probably have the best home court advantage in the NBA. Plus, they play a methodical, half court style. The matchups are all in favor of Utah - Williams is bigger and stronger than Paul -- even though I think Paul is the better player individually, Williams will eat him alive in a 1-on-1 matchup every time. Boozer >>>> West. And they have a much deeper bench.

Believe me, Utah is the last team New Orleans wants to face in a playoff matchup.

 

LOL.. ok I am a known TMac supporter who attacks YOFs, but I would never want to break Yao and TMac up because I like them both. Funny thing is, after a great game by TMac and bad game by Yao, we have all these YOFs saying that Yao deserves better and should be traded to a team where he can dominate all the points... lol forget about winning. So childish...

 

Yao and Tmac are simply not compatible, period. Magic was right.

 

T-mac was letting it all hang out tonight ( not a reference to the weird pic thread)

Trade Yao please,

This Rockets has no hope,

True Rockets FUNS HAS NO BRAIN

 

i didn't say they were, but they are not one fo the top 5-6 teams in the L. they'll fall back to around the 7-8th spot very soon.

 

booohooo Yao didn't score today! he played bad, we won, but its not a happy win. TRADE YAO.

Just stop crying and don't speak for true Rockets fans. True Rockets fans would be happy if we win, even if one of the stars didn't play well!!

 

With our deeper bench, I like our chance with Utah this year.

And I would roll the dice and put Yao on Okur this time, Landry/Scola/Hayes can contain Boozer. We'll just have to depend on the rest of team for rebounds.

 

That was before when we were losing, now that we are winning why aren't they compatable again? oh because your Yao didn't score? Ok just to clear the air, for all YOFs, Yao will never be a match winner because he is a center, thats the sad reality. Opponents can deny him the ball very easily, thats why centers are not heroes in this league and thats why the Lakers chose Kobe over Shaq, got it?

 

now there's a real fan.[/QUOTE]

he's right. nothing good could have come of this game.

twolves are so crappy if we blow them out it's "so what it's the twolves."

we lose... then it's **** we lost to MIN we suck!!!!

the ONLY important thing from tonight was to fly out of MIN with a W. fatigued or not, ugly or not, they got the job done.

NEXT

 

Yes you did. You even said they aren't good. Your quote is their for all to see.

I doubt Hornets fall to bottom of playoff teams. Because they ARE good. And have been together for awhile.
