    JVG should give everybody some minutes, especially Lampe... Now he's playing Alston 12 minutes in the 1st quarter with 2 fouls... stupid coach... :mad:

    It looks like JVG is trying to win this one!! Why? Because there is no pride in winning this one. The Wolves are deliberately missing shots and the Rockets look like fools trying to move away from a good position in the draft. I don't like to see them loose but lets be realistic, we need a good draft pick!!

    The T-Wolves have seized control and are driving for the loss. I'm not sure there is much the Rockets can do. They might try putting in Ryan Bowen at shooting guard to try to put an end to the Rocket's offense. The way this season is going Ryan will start raining 3's. :(

    The most important game of the season and the Rockets are letting the T- Wolves handle them on their home court. Figures.

    Boy, that JVG can sure coach. :rolleyes:

    Pure entertainment. Some of these shots... oh man, just priceless. I find myself screaming stuff like, "Luther travelled dammit - call it!" and "Quit your b****ing Deke ... you fouled him". It's pointless though ... this Timberwolf team is, top to bottom, the weakest group I've seen in years. You can't help but keep your hat on to them.

    you can't fault juwan's effort in this one. a solid 1-9.


    question, while we could obviously lose if we purposely tanked and just missed every single shot or committed a turnover every time down, that would be too obvious and might get us in trouble. but if we tried to make the tanking look realistic (playing as badly as possible with no suspicions aroused), would it still even be possible to lose to them? i mean i think it still might be a pick 'em at that point. i mean mark blount is carrying them.

    yes, our only hope to pull this one out is RYBO, but I'm afraid even HE can't save us

    Yeah you have to give Minny credit. They definitely want this one more than us. Even in losing JVG can't motivate the troops.

    This game will basically prove which teams are better in tankin... so far it looks like wolves are doing very good, their fans should feel very proud of it... :D

    For some reasons, i think JVG dont like Lampe, probably due to his work ethic or attitude. When JVG dont like a person, he wont play him. Just like DA. JVG will bench the player in expense of the team success.....

    Rybo's case is a mysterious. When we all dont want to see him to play, JVG plays him. Now the fans are beggin to see Rybo, JVG benchs him... :rolleyes:

    Clutchcity. It ain't over till it's over. Rockets only up by 10 at half!

    I'm not sure how the Rockets are doing it with Minnesota's depleted lineup.

    Yeah, but with Motumbo, Howard and Wesley we have the old pro's to keep our scrubs from losing. Besides it isn't fair when your own coach is trying to win.

    After looking at the half time stats. Rebounding is the problem. We are up by 10 rb's29 to 9. . We need to bench Hayes.

    I'm loving Stro's hustle. He's driving to the basket and getting the fouls. He needs to play like this all the time.

    He's just gotta work on his FT's.
