ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/27/2006

WIN!!!

 

Game time has been changed from 8:30 to 7:30 since ESPN dropped the game. FSN will carry the game.

Rockets 101
Timberwolves 96

 

Rockets kill the wolves!!

Rockets WIN!!!!!

 

Wolves just traded Wally, Kandi and change for Ricky Davis, Mark Blount and filler. They'll be undermanned tomorrow because no way the new players make the game. We better win this one.

 

Even better they will be under manned. Also Davis and Blount don't make them all that much better if you ask me. Minnesota should fall out of the race for the 8th seed shortly after the allstar break. Good news for the Rockets. Go Rockets!!!

 

Outgoing:

Szczerbiak
Olowokandi
Jones
Future 1st round

Incoming:
Davis
Blount
Banks
Reed

so ya..we better win this. or else we can kiss playoffs goodbye. all this we are gonna make starts with winning r****ded games like this one.

 

wally is the only starter in that lot and kandi hasn't been playing. they'll probably slot in davis without much fuss.

 

But they still won't make the game. There's still physicals to take and other stuff to deal with. Players rarely play the day after they get dealt.

 

If the new players dont play the Rockets better make this another rout and get ready for Sunday

 

Goddess of Luck has turned into our favor.

 

with or w/o the wolves new players...
with or w/o tmac wearing the mask


i think its all the same...the rockets [should] win.

 

Is rickey davis playing for the twolves tonight per the seven player trade that went down with boston?

 

Pretty sure they won't play, the Wolves will be shorthanded tonight. They have to pass physicals and are allowed a reasonable time to report.

 

Nice. I was going to photoshop something similar to this. I definetly think a clean pic of him throwing up a 3 or driving to the rim with that mask would make an awesome desktop background.

If anything, clutch should just make a banner of tmac as tmask. If the mask works for Rip, it'll definetly work for tmac/tmask.

Anyways, score prediction will be 102-90, win for us of course. Go Rox!

 

I heard on the radio that he would be in uniform for the Twolves tonight.

 

only way the players would all be in uniform tonight is if all 7 players completed physicals in that short 24-hour time span and thats very unlikely, but i could see MIN trying to rush it along so they could have their best chance to win the game. With or without the trade, rockets need to home games like this if we are serious about making a run....

 

There is no way they could be in uniform tonight because they just made the trade last night and they MUST TAKE A PHYSICAL TO EVEN BE ALLOWED TO PLAY. Rockets win tonight and go to 16-26 on the season. Go Rockets!!!

 

Just heard on the radio that Juwan Howard has flu like symptoms and will be a game time decision. Also, Swift will be ready to go tonight and not a moment too soon with Howard questionable for tonights game.

 

We may see Chuck start tonight. If he does, he gets to guard KG. Chuck is the best Rockets defender at the 4 but KG has 5 inches on him.

 

I think if J-Ho doesn't play, he will start LB. Today is LB's birthday and he has played solid the last 2 games. Also don't expect Deke to play a lot today. He really struggles versus centers with range at Eddie Griffin starts for them at center.
