ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 3/29/2004

You got to give him time to practice and get him ready to be the "go-to-guy", right? It is better for him to miss those crunch shot in regular season, which we can afford now, than in playoff. just be patient

 

he aint motherfcuking superman, chill. Who would you want to shoot your last shot, your center who is shooting 53% or one of your guards shooting at about 40?

 

Exactly...or SF will dribble out the clock.

 

Yao also repeatedly leads the rox back into contention in crunch time, like the 6 points he had down the stretch in regulation vs. Milwaukee. Or the fact that he is shooting a blistering percentage in curnch time this year. If the rox have any aspirations for championships in the future, they start and end with Yao developing the ability to carry the team in crucial situations. He needs to get used to taking those shots, and the rox need to get used to getting him those shot. We will have to live and die with our best hope, and that hope is Yao Ming.

 

I don't feel too bad. Puppies are very winnable in playoff.

 

quite a balanced game for the rox. Not only the scores, but also the rebounds, are quite evenly spread among starters.

 

This wasn't a must win game, and I am glad yao took that shot, he needs to take the last shot of the game because he is the franchise.

 

This team is still pathetic no matter what. There are too many ball hogs on the team. I beginning to see the trend that they will give Yao the ball and Yao score baskets after basket and freeze him out when we are leading. They will only give him the ball when they are desparately losing and depend too much on the guy if the team drag themselves down the hole in the first place.

The guy I think really need go is Mo Taylor. I don't know he knows what a PASS is. I thought this is Yao and Francis team and I was wondering why so many others aren't playing their role? The team can't have too many ego headed guys who think they have one good game one night and continue to take more shots then Francis and Yao when it's obviously their shooting percentage suck and inconsistent throughout the year. Yeesh!!

 

Why this crap? Yao tonight is tired. He didn't stand up in 4th Q. Anyway I forgave him.

 

good loss.......because the spurs and grizz won.....love the dunk by mo and the fastbreak by the professor to ming

 

I liked this game, our passing was good too. The Rockets had 20 or so assists, they just couldn't pull it through. KG stepped up big and the Rockets just couldn't make big shots. I still liked the way they played

 

HAHA that sounds funny... "I forgave him"
I don't care... This was a entertaining game.. Minny needed the win which is gonna help us later [higher chance of us facing them]

 

here smell like a lot o happiness or what?

 

Minnesota did a good job with Yao

 

an entertaining**

 

Wow, this is a great loss.

Now we are locked to play Minny in the first round barring any shock down the road.

Face it, guys, our best matchup in round 1 is against Minny and we can definitely take them.

We lost the game tonight because of tired legs.

 

What a weird game. Rockets lost and we all feel good.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

really good game, and the rockets played their asses off to get back in it. when we went down by 8 steve went wildman to get that offense rebound and give it up for the 3-point play. i don't think he gets tired.

now normally i'd be upset but i think we're more locked into that 7th spot than minnesota is in the 2 seed and obviously we have a legit shot at upsetting them if we can match-up in the first round. them winning now could help us later if we take care of buisiness down the stretch.

 

We played a great game...the bench sucked but still we played well. I'm sure if we played the t'wolves on thursday or friday we would be able to beat them
