Rockets have a lot of talented young players. Wolves will need professionalism to win this.

I just read Conley, Ant, and Gobert are questionable??? What did those guys do over break? Partying with ARod in Jamaica again?

Rudy is out. We've been fortunate with his durability thus far. We will lose games to certain teams with unfavorable lineups if he doesn't come back soon.
I don't like our chances tonight without him.

We should sit Ant the next 5-7 games. If he has groin tightness that could go bad real quick. Let him rest and come back healthy for the final stretch. If Ant goes from tightness to strain we go from a playoff team to… Not a playoff team.

Tough one indeed. Managing injuries, pain will be crucial for the end of regular season.

I don't see how Conley could guard Thompson? Please bring Conley off the bench

Mike Conley is WAY too undersized for this matchup.

This game could be over by end of 1st qtr. No defense and everything is falling in for HOU.

This comes down to poor coaching. Lack of leadership/cohesiveness/identity. Just a discombobulated mess of a head coach and vision. We are sloppy.
Out there just making motions without intention.

We are short handed and trying to win a track meet with Rockets? That is a bad combo.

Seems like Sengun is like Towns, you are better off put a smaller quick player on him.

Conley really doesn't have much to contribute if isn't going to run the offense. He is getting killed on defense with the Rockets targeting him.
We need to get something on offense from Dillingham and Garza, that's the whole reason they are getting minutes.

I missed the first 13 minutes of action (game time,) with DVR issues. When they said 48 point first quarter I thought they meant 38. Gonna catch what I missed on a replay, but damn that is crazy. Before some hot 3 point shooting the Wolves held the rockets to 7 points in the first half of the 2nd quarter, also crazy. Bizarre game.
