I am so excited man...since it's against Rockets, I literally have zero expectations. All the pressure is gonna be on Rockets and Harden due to being overwhelming favorite and also due to media's criticism of their recent playoffs performances. Just hope we make use of KAT properly...he is our trump card if we wanna make it competitive

I've made many many many posts in a Timberwolves playoff thread. Go Wolves.

Fun fact: Wolves haven't missed the playoffs since RubeChat got shut down.

Its probably going to be an onslaught of 3s and lobs to capella. What we did in the offseason has no shot at working.

I suggested in the Denver game thread we try to disrupt the facilitators of CP3 and Harden by sticking Wiggins and Butler on them.

KAT can be a roaming defender either for the lob or the pick. Whoever KAT guards can have open 3s, whether its Tucker/Ryan Anderson/Ariza(with teague on him) etc.

Id put Taj on Capella. KAT is clueless when it comes to slippage..but if he can disrupt shots with help defense, it might be able to disrupt Houston a little.

Other than that, their offense is basically impossible to guard

P&R Slaughter but I'm going to enjoy it no matter what. The pressure is off.

Amazing feeling

With how everything was falling around us the last month and how close we came to missing out I am thrilled to be David vs Goliath right now. WE ARE PLAYING WITH HOUSE MONEY! As long as no one get badly injured I can deal with whatever happens. We get swept I'll be dancing a jig as I go out the door.

The pressure is on Houston, no doubt. If they lose the first or second game, it will continue to mount.

Get KAT 20+ shots/game. He has best chance throwing Houston off their game defensively

Put Wig on Harden or CP3 defensively, must challenge him to be active. If he's put on Ariza or some other spot up shooter he'll start floating, especially if he's not involved on offense

Cut Dieng out of the rotation or at least only when Nene or Black is on court. Just to slow in both foot speed and decision making.

Taj as C when KAT sits, a lot more time for Bjelica at PF are going to need to happen sooner or later. Just hope Thibs doesn't waste two games finding that out

Teague should do well with his quickness, hopefully his floater is falling
