ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 1/18/2018

i don't wanna get ahead of myself, but just the way hunter dribbled up the court somewhat competently and then threw a simple pass to someone makes a huge upgrade to our garbage squad. 20 point leads with 4 minutes left might be safe.

 

Harden was some rusty trash for most of this game, and we were missing our most important role player.

Yet we still handled what is supposed to be a top tier team with ease.

Getting the beard healthy is the most important thing, hopefully he feels good tomorrow.

 

and y'all dummies thought the t-wolves were a second round threat

 

Great all around win.

I predicted a big game by Capela and he was really good but didn’t feel up the stat sheet like i thought. Played great defense but didn’t get many rebounding opportunities, which is understandable going against a taj/kat frontline.

I expected a lot more high PnR with capela and harden but we only got a handful with them. Nene also got a handful but overall it was a very good night for both of our big men.

Harden was rusty as expected but man, him just being out there look how great we are..!!!

Harden wasn’t explosive or dominant.

Ryno won’t shoot after he has a few misses.

We have a shortened bench with no ariza or green.

But harden is back and it fet as if we comfortably had the lead all game.

Just amazing.

#MVP

 

He was drawing up a 19 point play

 

Funny how the defense returns once we have our key guys back. Thanks national media for judging us with one arm tied behind our backs, but I think we'll be making our run now.

Warmly welcome RJ Hunter!

 

After that play I immediately thought 'geez he is so much better than Weber' already.

 

Time to go on a run. GSW and the Heat bout to catch these hands

 

Yeah for sure. Defensive attitude was there to START the game and it started with Harden blocking Butler. That’s leadership.

 

Harden didn't shoot well, but boy did I miss the easy buckets he got for Nene and Capela. I assumed Point Gawd CP3 would be able to do the same thing, I was wrong.

 

hell yes

 

We have seen 0 of him yet for some reason I feel like he can ball... Maybe it’s that he has size, maybe he just handled the ball well despite the game over and no pressure... Maybe the simple easy pass for an assist. I don’t know but I want to see more.

 

I really want one of those harden hand puppets.

 

Mop up team is a must.

 

I don't think we appreciate how good of a PG he is.

His devastating first step clearly wasn't there and he didn't shoot well. Those are what makes him a great player. Yet he was still light years better as an offensive game manager than anything else we've seen.

 

When we hit 43.6% from trey land, we can beat anyone. Would take 17-39 EVERY night.

 

I would love to see this team in the 2nd round
