Rockets @ Wolves

[Hawkeye15]

Np fancy pics today, sorry. This is a game we need, the Rockets are right with us, and they have been on fire recently. Rubio is getting more minutes, hopefully he plays well in those minutes, and we need Love to absolutely go off, Asik is a very good, strong defender so I worry Pekovic might not be that dominant.

have to protect home court against teams like this. Rockets are much better than I thought they would be at this point, and Harden seems like he is transitioning into a starter's role really well. I hope they do something nice to honor McHale's daughter tonight.

I am going to the game! First game I've been to in quite a while!

I'm nervous for this game. I would be so pissed if we lose.

This will be a tough game. The Rockets have looked good as of late, seems like a Lin/Harden back-court is starting to click. I agree that Asik could cause some problems for Pek. I can't help but kind of like this Rockets team even though I can't really put my finger on why I actually do.

I may be in the minority but i would be surprised if we win this one..

If Harden has a good-shooting game, we are toast. Otherwise, I think we'll be fine. Asik is good defensively, but I haven't really seen him make an impact against strong offensive centers. Lin is average. Parsons is a nice player (I wish we had kept him), but he'll either have to deal with AK or take on the scoring load.

What disappoints me with the Rockets is that they have Montiejunas, Machado and Jones playing the role of garbage men. I'd like to see them get some playing time this year even if it costs them some short-term wins.

i can finally watch one... i say we win.

[Aleksandar]

Does Love play? I read on wolves site he's listed under questionable.. If he plays, I hope for a monster night. I think Morris is guarding him, Markieff or Marcus, whichever.

And their point guard is Lin. Finally someone who won't destroy Luke..

Man could we use OJ Mayo and his 48% 3pt shooting...

Asik is being given freedom to bang. Love needs to absolutely rape his matchup, which he should.

I was thinking Ak should exploit his matchup.

[topdog]

Too many perimeter shots. Why aren't there any good mid-range shooters anymore?

[Hawkeye15]

while I am a Harden fan, its annoying watching him just dive into traffic and flail to draw a foul.

[PurpleJesus]

horrendous start for both teams.
