early start, it's a good omen. As the old chinese proverb goes: "a prepared gamethread makes for a prepared basketball team"

Man, this is going to be ugly. If a team with no offense gets shut down by a team with supreme defense does do we gain negative points? Like are we going to lose some games off of last season record over this?

Interesting...I never really thought of it before, but seeing Brewer and Ariza next to each other, I finally realized that Ariza is basically best case scenario Brewer...which isn't looking likely at this point.

Houston is slowly becoming one of my fav teams. They are at the top when it comes to talent evaluation IMO.

The point guard battle will be fun to watch. Brooks has been on fire this season.

The Rockets are on a back-to-back so they won't be at their best IMO. Wolves are fresh, Al's had a week off... Probably won't change a thing lol.

With some extra days of practice I wanna see some defensive improvements, I don't care about offense, I WANNA SEE DEFENSE. I am looking @ you Rambis/Big Al.

I feel the same. it's amazing how much they can do without an all star with everyone buying into the team concept and defense. Adelman is such a great coach.

Am I the only one who's noticed that the Wolves haven't won a game since klomp was modded? Just an observation.

Maybe this is finally a winnable game. Rockets aren't that good and we play at home.

Yea, I don't know why people keep thinking this is a team we can roll on. This is one of the harder teams we have faced. They can shut down offensive powerhouse, what will they do to us? Let's just hope that they have an off not and we can take advantage. Doubt it though. We will either need to actually make jump shots this game or have Big Al abuse their smaller bigmen.
