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

Rockets are now 16-0 when James Harden, Chris Paul and Clint Capela all play

 

I wouldn't make much of it, he was concise and his answers were simple

 

Nice win. Defense looked way better tonight. Everyone was active and getting deflections.
Harden still not 100% will prob take a few games but he help by spreading the floor and giving easy passes to open guys.

I liked how we played even without Ariza or without having a good night. Pretty sure it will take like 4 games for Harden to get his lift and legs. Luc was great too better than with the clippers he just came back last game so it will take some games for him too. And I’m glad nene is back too.
Awesome game by Ego

Can’t wait for everyone to come back and have a full roster healthy.

 

cp3 to lakers confirmed!!!!!!!!

 

This man gets it.

 

Ariza was bricking last time we played the Warriors

Warriors got the lead when CP3 hit the bench. This won't happen Saturday since we'll have an elite playmaker on the court at all times.

Besides Green being a huge spark last game, I can see Houston winning Saturday

 

Seemed like his mind was elsewhere. Could’ve gotten a text or call about something that was occupying his brain.

I wouldn’t read into it too much.

 

Not surprised at his attitude with the media after all the fing jokes about the Clippers game.... Lets face it, we all laughed at a couple of gifs here and there but I personally felt like we were the ones being laughed at. I hope he is angry at the media, at the league and especially at The Clippers... Hopefully its all business from here on out.

 

Would be a gorgeous combination tbh

 

How does a YouTube of nothing but rockets highlights NOT have Gordon's half court buzzer beater????

 

This team needs NeNe and Luc healthy.

They bring toughness to the 2nd unit.

 

tbh medias are just as bad as those refs...

 

Because it’s Paul & Harden highlight video.

 

Why do people keep saying hunter is a pg? He's a SG in the mold of Klay. Similar kind of game

 

Good game and nice win. Glad to see Harden back playing.
Had to look twice in the last minute when Hunter was on the court. First reaction was someone in the crowd won a whataburger prize to get court time.

 

did anyone see harden yell at capela after giving up a putback... "BOX OUT, F*CK!!!"

 

Loved our defense, Tucker in particular showed some serious hustle, Mbah was his usual self and Harden put in the effort! Mbah a Moute's cutting is so refreshing, I seriously wonder why MDA doesn't instruct our guys to do that. When we go through our lulls, in particular during those possessions where we go 1-on-1 and just dribble trying to get the ball to Harden or one of our guys not able to shake the defender it makes a world of difference if a guy cuts to get open. It's simple basketball 101, but somehow our guys struggle with that concept...we had some unfortunate in-and-out threes, so not too worried about Tucker and Ryno. Nene made a big difference too, but in the end it was Gordon's and CP3's hot shooting in the 2nd - and 3rd for Eric - quarter that really made a difference. The game was won with defense though. Impressive win for sure, finally played our game with some fast break points and once we get our full squad back with Green, Mbah, Tucker, Eric & Nene off the bench, the league better watch out. We are 10 deep people, MDA better go 10 deep every single game from now on. Let's go and upset the Warriors!!!!!

 

watch at 1/4 speed. shes trying to get the pipe.
