ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 11/7/2010

we really need a pass first guard with strong physical condition and defensive skills. i'd like trade Brooks for that type of guard definitely.

 

yeah this is the perfect time to see what pat pat can do. put em in rick along with JT as well!

 

Why Twolves are not fronting Yao?

 

this ish kid has great potential ... love the speed and looking for his teammates .... plus his defense is considerably better ... i dont mind if brooks takes his time coming back ... i just want lowry to get healthy ... ish and lowry bring good pg play ...

 

Not that I am giving up on AB, but thank god AB is only making pocket change, will be much easier to include in a trade.

Expirers+AB could get us something nice, hopefully Battier gets released after that and rejoins the Rockets.

 

Once teams realize they need to put a body on Ish at halfcourt we're screwed...

 

Yeah, I think they are trying a little to hard to justify his contract.

They need to focus on who helps the team win, and admit mistakes if need be (like when they finally gave Hill a chance, which was a good decision. Maybe Patterson next?).

 

and please give courtney lee more playing time ... buddinger needs to stay his ass on the bench and in the gym ... he is out clubbing 3 times a week ...

 

Man, I really hope that Cbud will put an end to his spot on Luther Head impression.

 

the reason is TWs have a worse defense. Rockets have to learn how to play with a decent defensive team

 

All teams have to do is sag off Ish like the Spurs last night, he got Scola tons of open shots, too bad the Spurs smartened up 1 shot too early.

 

Quick passes, using screens to get him open. They are double teaming him when Ish tries to pass.

 

They are the T-Wolves.

That said, I'm still a little worried about the second half.

 

where the hell is dampier ... i dont even see him on the bench

 

While the rockets might be carried away by their lead, but it seems that Ish's team-mates seem to be much happier with him out there than they are with Brooks. The body language is much more positive and you can see Ish communicating with everyone whereas its seems Brooks just has a confrontational demeanor about him in contrast.

 

i saw they occasionally doubled him

 

please win this game for me

 

yes they are the wolves and they suck ass ... but look at last night and tonight ... ish drives and dishes ... hes nervous and missing layups for now ... but he made all of those in preseason ... im sure he will learn to make those layups ... brooks simply doesnt dish enough and he makes other point guards look like allstars ... just look at the last 5 games ... PG's play too loose when brooks is in the game .

 

I think its hilarious how you guys think just because we are playing good without brooks that Ish is some kinda superstar!! U know who we are playing, rihjt?? these guys will be lucky to win 20 games this year! If we hadmBrooks on the floor he would be bustin 3's like crazy and we would have 70+ points right now! Ish has great potential but please stop crowning him things like "the best point guard we have had since Sam Cassel" I mean seriously just calm down on the brooks hate!!

 

Yeah... We still got 4 quarter.
