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

see he will learn to finish that ... easy layup

 

Ish shoots like Rafer lmao. Don't let him shoot except for fast breaks

 

Nice change of direction from Ish. Just didn't finish but got th call anyway.

 

Hahaha that was hilarious!!

 

Have you seen how many steals scola has ripped from the wolves. They are making him look like chris paul out there

 

You're right, but I'm going to have to point out the next sentence and say that it's hard NOT to look good against a team like the T-Wolves.

One could argue that the intensity is here because the team is 0-5, and is only really working because the team they're playing is really pretty terrible. Look at the games we've lost. Poor individual/help/perimeter defense, TOs, missed layups, and bad rotations to boot. All of those things all of a sudden seem to be remedied, or at least the problems seem to be assuaged for the time being. Some may want to chalk this up to "intensity," or the Rockets "finally getting it." I'm not going to say that the Rockets are not going to progress tonight at all (I'm still waiting for the 4th) or that they're not getting it, and maybe they even are clicking, I'm just saying that we're playing a team that is clearly inferior to ours and of course we are going to look good. Our proficiencies line up with their deficiencies, and their proficiencies do not outweigh our deficiencies. That's all I'm saying.

 

brooks finishes everytime hes that close to the bucket ... and shoots way better than ish ... but the rest of the team is not involved nearly as much

 

ish's ability to get into the paint and kinda go around in circles is creating havoc for the other team's defense. kinda reminds me of paul without the finishing.

 

this is probably the only game I actually noticed our depth, is it because AB is out, I don't know, but Ish is doing one hell of a job at point guard.

 

obviously,Rockets like to play with no-defense team :grin:

 

Aaron Brooks should not start. He's a poor man's Steve Francis. He's better as a scoring energizer off the bench.

 

I am really starting to believe Ish may be our pg of the future. He can't shoot now, but he can definitely improve it (e.g. Avery Johnson when he first came into the league). With an improved shot, Ish is definitely starter material.

 

Ish really just confuses the Wolves "defense". I hope we win by 40.

 

Man, if Ish had a shot!!! He would be absolutely dangerous!

 

I can agree with that. But there is a difference between looking good because we're playing a bad team and bringing intensity, but it's really hard to explain that unless you've seen it and watched a whole lot of basketball. Rick and crew are going to be thrilled with the effort.

 

but yet we score a boatload of points,how could that be,please don't try to act like the reason we're beating the worst team in the league is because brooks isn't playing.

 

too easy? Ish is good..hope he can improve his outside shooting.

 

It is an extremely rare trait...

Nash
Rondo
Paul

And???

 

Is that the guy in Mythbusters sitting in the first row near the middle? He has a bigass beard

 

Actually Brooks can do that do but he doesn't/can't pass.
