ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/17/2004

Rox have been doing very well lately. I hope this time is for real. I do have a serious concern with the heavy minutes our starters are playing. They are people, they will get tired. When the season getting older, this lack of depth will hurt us. I hope JVG will figure it out.

 

Xenogears,

Do you honestly believe that Mobley held the ball because he didn't want to give it to Yao?

I think it's fair to say that what hurts Yao hurts Mobley. He IS part of the TEAM. He will give the ball to whomever, if he knows it helps the TEAM. Mobley just happened to be in a position where he did NOT SEE Yao. That's all.

 

A great win and all you can do is post stuff like this. It's all about you, isn't it. Keep it up. Please.


For anyone who taped the game (which I frequently do, but not this one. rats!), look at the last couple of minutes. You will see a sighting of Jeff Van Gundy smiling, teeth and everything!

 

Yep, I saw that, what a ugly smile

 

Man the Midwest Division is tough. Everyone in our division currently holds a playoff spot, with the Lakers, and Kings being the only other team with a playoff seed. I can't recall a division being this stacked before.

 

There is nothing new for Cat for not passing the ball. Although he is a good player, but not a team player. He shall pass the ball to Shaq if he is playing in Lakers, you know what I mean.

 

Considering how rarely he seems to do it, I thought it was dazzling!

 

God only knows, if Yao would have scored on that one play in the fourth period, it would have probably been the greatest basket in the history of the Houston Rockets franchise. Of course, the Rockets eventually scored two free throws anyway and increased their lead to a critical 17, rather than 15 point margin at that point, but I have no doubt, that had Mobely passed to Yao and he had scored, this basket would have been far more memorable than Mario Elie's kiss of death 3, Kenny's Orlando 3, Hakeem's Orlando tip in, Ralph Sampson's play, Eddie Johnson's 3, Robert Horry's 2, etc, etc, etc.

Yao's Dunk would stand alone at the top of that list. YOFfies and Rockets fans alike agree: that would have been the best. shot. ever.

Thanks Mobley, you just f-ked up history buddy.

 

are you being serious? or sarcastic? just wondering


cause i doubt that a Yao dunk from a mobley pass would rank up there with Elies 3, or Kennys 3, or Eddie Johnsons 3

 

LOL!!!!

 

Tonaaayyyy, I think your sarcasm detector needs some new batteries. Remember to check them regularly.

 

His sarcasm detector may be broken.....

Tonay...care to buy a new one?

I got one for ya..

 

Haha interesting suggestion, hi Xenogears why don't u have a try

 

i'm anxious to see m. jackson on the floor. he's a warrior when the lights turned on. come on~even 10 min a game will be enough
for mark to show his talents.

 

haha oops sorry for the slow thinking guys.. i just got a lil bit too happy with the win and wasnt thinking straight

 

I am more impressed by Yao's defence presence.

 

I'm thinking about one question...F 3 has 7-7-6 turnovers in the last win 3, does his turnovers really hurt us? If F3 do great job in assist, score, reb,stl who cares his turnover is 4 or 6?

anyway all turnovers must be limited to below 12 times per game, or most likely Rox will lose

 

Maybe this was already posted but... Houston is 20-4 when leading after the first quarter and 2-12 when trailing after the first quarter this season.

Very interesting.
