Big, big game...

Minnesota hosts the Nets tonight. Perhaps KG can have a big game and push the Nets to actually compete so the Rockets can get a tired squad on a B2B rather than being the tired squad.

Rockets need this win.

Knicks game was on TNT.

I dont know why everyone is panicking after the last game. We'll be fine. We played well that Mavs game. THey just played better than us. They made virtually EVERY shot in the 4th. Its basketball. When its all said and done this will be a 55+ win team.

wolves beasted rockets in the lockout season. now we got dwight and tj :rock:

martin getting screens left and right = big game
jones could run the f**k away with the starting 4 spot by defending kevin well. just watch out for those pumpfakes

they crusehd the nets tonight so b2b effect might have no effect on them. watch out for rubio, he destroyed the rokets defense in the lockout year. our defense is terrible. hope they communicate out their

haren is getting killed he can't guard player that can play without the ball
my guess is mcfail will not do any defense adjustment
he will just put haren on martin
if he's smart he should smart the game with beverley on martin and haren on brewer
parsons on rubio and give him space to shoot and always go under the screen
no need to guard him outside until he prove he can make them

Ha I am praying for it... we need another big game from Dwight and a big game from someone else(Lin/Jones) to have a chance in this game.

Not very excited for this game :(

Brewer is one of the dirtiest players. I've watched a lot of Wolves games this season and this guy constantly rake players across the face/eyes and he elbows people.
