Official Game Thread: Minnesota Timberwolves At Houston Rockets

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AznxBaller:</div><div class="quote_post">does anyone here think that the outcome would have been worse if we had a healthy tmac in the game? I mean, maybe last night role players like morris taylor and jim jackson played harder because mcgrady wasn't there and they knew they needed to come together. If mcgrady was there, would it have been for the better or worse?</div>
You might have a point there. Last night, Boki, Jackson and Taylor all had outstanding games, and I doubt they'd be as daring as they were last night in terms of offense had McGrady been playing. With McGrady out, Taylor and Jackson knew that they had to produce, and that's just what they did.

Regarding that last foul which caused the loss, I think it's absolutely stupid on the ref's account. For the whole game, no foul was called on the same act, but they had to when it was 8 seconds left. IMO, we did not lose this game spiritually. We came in shorthanded and walked out with honor. This game might actually add a spark to our team. I wouldn't be surprised to see us go on a winning streak after this.

 

Missed the game.

I just wanted to know how our very own Eddie Griffin did in his return to Houston?

 

He didn't do bad...just played like a mediocre PF.

He got several blocks and double digits in points I think. 7 rebounds too

Bias opinions especially considering McGrady was out, but what can you expect? But considering he was out the Rockets performed better than expected.
