Game 21 Preview: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Houston Rockets

PrintThe Reunion Tour continues! First it was Jared Jeffries, now it's Rick Adelman.
I didn't do the previous T-Wolves preview (tip of the hat again to Chuck), so I didn't get to talk about the man we affectionately called Coach Sleepy.
I made it no secret that I liked Adelman. I wasn't happy when we let Jeff Van Gundy walk, but when Adelman was hired I was ecstatic. I understood the cyclical nature of coaching changes, and going from the micromanaging JVG to the freeballing RA made sense. But my love of Adelman started long before then.
Growing up, he was the Blazers coach, and I really didn't care about him at all. Then came two forgettable years with e Warriors. Then he went to Sacramento and he turned the Kings into one of the most entertaining teams ever. For a solid two-year period, Mike Bibby was my favorite NBA player, and the Kings were my second favorite team. Bibby, Doug Christie, Hedo Turkoglu, Chris Webber, and Vlade Divac was one of the best starting lineups I'd ever watched. And Peja and Bobby Jackson came off the bench to be very effective as well.
But here's what impressed me even more as the years went by: outside of Turkoglu, none of those players who still had gas left in the tank ever duplicated the success they had on those Kings teams. In Houston we praised Adelman's ability to do more with less, but in Portland and Sacramento, Adelman did more with a lot. And it's a shame the NBA stole a title from the guy. Watching Adelman was like watching a vengeance story where the main character didn't know it was his story. In a perfect world, Phil Jackson would come out of retirement, coach the Knicks or some such team, and Adelman would somehow will his plucky T-Wolves to title over the Knicks in the Finals. Adelman would then metaphorically tea bag Jackson and David Stern afterwards by saying something during the awards ceremony like, "I'm glad I was able to be the one to bribe the refs this time around." The media would go into chaos, Stern's head would explode, and I would every piece of merchandise that had Adelman attached to it. Books, towels, Fatheads. Everything.
And just for Only_A_Lad, Adelman is Paul Atreides, and he's just been picked up by the Fremen. He just needs the Water of Life, and Maud'Dib can rule the galaxy. Nerdgasm over.
And here is my absolute favorite Adelman memory from his time in Houston. That one line during the huddle is exactly what I want my coach saying, and when I heard it I knew we would win. True story.
I'm having trouble with the editor here, so just go to the 8:41 mark to hear what I'm talking about.
Houston Rockets vs LA Lakers Playoffs 2009 Rockets Highlights 05.04.09 Round 2 Game 1 (via coffeetime)
K-Mart will play tonight, but I left C-Lee in the starting spot because I felt lazy.
Matchups after the jump.
Matchups:
PG: Kyle Lowry vs. Ricky Rubio:
Ricky, I'm going to tell you what I told Kyle Lowry when he came over here: Learn how to shoot and the sky is the limit.
Now look at Kyle. He's got all the babes hanging all over him. It could all be yours...with a jump shot.
Advantage: Rockets
SG: Courtney Lee vs. Luke Ridnour:
I'm always surprised that Clutchfans hasn't jumped at the chance to get Ridnour. He fits the criteria they usually love.
White? Check
Combo guard? Check
Overrated coming out of college? Check
Teams get better when after they trade him? Check
What's the hold-up CF?
Advantage: Rockets
SF: Chandler Parsons vs. Wesley Johnson:
I'm not as high on Wes Johnson as some people here are. I think he's still young, and he could become a great player. And yes, he'd probably start for the Rockets. But...okay maybe I like him a little.
But not enough to trade K-Mart for him and a first. No way.
Advantage: T-Wolves
PF: Luis Scola vs. Kevin Love:
Ah, Courtney Love's little-known younger brother. Bet he sucks at basketball.
Apparently he's this guy:
Kevin Love's Game Winning Three! (via NBA)
What's the best reaction from that video? Here's your choices:
A. Love turning around and going, "Are you not entertained!"
B. Ridnour just running to the bench as if he hit the shot.
C. Wayne Ellington looking like a kid on Christmas morning.
D. All of the above.
I'm saying D, because that video right there is the bee's knees.
Advantage: T-Wolves
C: Samuel Dalembert vs. Nikola Pekovic:
I think I'm going to call Dalembert Big D just to piss off Mavs fans.
Advantage: Rockets
---
Bench/Role Players:
T-Wolves: Michael Beasley, Wayne Ellington, Derrick Williams, Martell Webster, Brad Miller, Anthony Randolph
Rockets: Goran Dragic, Chase Budinger, Patrick Patterson, Jordan Hill
Advantage: Rockets? I can't read this Rockets bench right now.
Injuries/Inactives:
T-Wolves: J.J. Barea, Darko Milicic maybe
Rockets: None
Prediction: Rockets 99-94
Make sure you get in on TCWHRO (we have to figure out another way to say that)'s fantasy basketball game. Details here. Just make your predictions in the comments, and maybe explain how you came to that conclusion so we have something to talk about.

Rockets 102 – Wolves 95…
.
I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
.
Dedicated to the "Pride of the Steelers"
.
A tear rolled down my face watching Yao in the tunnel
He was a COMPETITOR! Too bad his feet could not hold up. I miss him as a Rocket, not only his skills but his personality.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-9xVUmmg1s
I think Rockets win again tonight!! 102-98
Such a Great person, he thought of his team first....
I watched this game that day and when I watched him fight his way back from injury in the tunnel, I knew he was not going out like that, I so cried!
went to the hou v ny game
And a couple things I’ve noticed (from that game and the season so far)
1) Parsons J is money in pre game. Not enough arc during the game, but he doesn’t need a lot of mechanical work to be a better than average shooter.
2) they should use Parsons at the 4 more. Stretch 4’s and switching on pick and rolls kill us, he’s athletic enough to help both problems.
3) not sure if I’m loving Klow’s body language right now. Seems to be over thinking. Don’t think it was a coincidence that his game took a nosedive when he jumped into the all star discussion.
4) I love Scola opening and Patterson closing games.
5) in retrospect, the deals that didnt happen (Melo and Gasol) have just as much to do with this teams success as anything else.
6) for all the flack that Morey gets, he has really assembled a nice, deep roster. If we could flip our spare parts (thabeet, Flynn, williams, hill (not exactly a spare part) all add up to an expiring max contract) into a serious contributor we could contend this year.
7) was kinda depressing to be at the NY game. The stands didn’t fill till mid way through the 2nd. (I drove from Dallas and was there early).
8) the freaking pre tip video is amazing, almost brought a tear to my eye.
9) if you made it this far, thanks, my score prediction 102-95 Minny.

on #1.
I went to the Houston Lockout Basketball game a couple months ago and Parsons was playing, during warmups the guy was busting LONG range 3s like it was nothing. It was crazy, the guy has the ability to shoot, but he needs to stop being tentative during the games and just shoot the ball instead of hesitating.
Dallas and Houston fan making it work. Gig 'em!
Thanks for this
1. I’d like to see him shoot more too.
2. You may get to see Parsons at the 4 tonight. Remember McHale used him there against Minny last time.
3. Agree with Lowry. Body language isn’t great, but it hasn’t affected his hustle. It’s just the little things right now, so I’m not too worried.
4. Had to be done. Scola was running out of steam. Now P Piddy needs to get it together.
5. Sure, but you could take that either way.
6. Great point, but that’s always been the point and Morey hasn’t translated assets into stars yet.
7. Agreed. Hope you had a good time.

3) the good side of that is that we haven’t seen our 1st and 2nd units playing well together and we’re still winning. If they all figure it out simultaneously, we could be a top 5 team in the west. You’re right, Lowry will get it together.
5) I meant that more to say I don’t think we are as scrappy if those trade rumors don’t surface (or worse, of they go through). Martin’s development especially (part of that is having a defensive presence in the paint though). Also, the fact that Lowry was untouchable in every rumored deal has kinda made him the de facto leader (his shot is suffering from the increased expectations, but his scrappiness has infected the team).
7) Had a ball. My wife isn’t a sports fan so I’m doing my best to convert her into a Rockets fan. I think this game did it, she wants to go again and sit in the red rowdies section, lol.

yea bro
i seen dat man do that too….but in tha game dat man did hesistate….el oh el….c lee an dragic was getting mad at him cuz he would hesitate…el oh el….ish was funny
put a D*ck in ur ear and F*ck wat u hurd
Yup he got benched after passing up an open 3 in the 3rd quarter i think
Budinger came in at the next dead ball and took full advantage of the situation
on #8 & #7
Totally agree!! I get goose bumps looking at that video. The Rockets video and graphics team always do an above average job marketing the team.
I agree, I was there too as well as other Rocket games. Seems like the “best” seats are always the last to fill up. The upper bowl and well as seats behind the goals were packed by the start of the game. But the mid court lower bowl seats take forever to fill up. Such a shame!
Saw the same thing on TV.
It was crazy, so many ACME Bricks, but nobody in the Silestone area.

Rockets win 98 - 94
Minny on a b2b against LAL where love and rubio played 41mins! Love IS gonna get at least 30 on us and 15rebs hes streaking lately. The Twolves play bad in the first strong in the last if we can get an 8pt lead or so in the first and play solid defense in the second half we will still win by less than 10 (or lose)
try harder, do better
White? Check
If this type of thing is ever going to end, it needs to start somewhere.
Why not with you?
What?
Please tell me you aren’t insinuating what I think you’re insinuating.

hoping for home court advantage to help pull out a close one
minny has been a team that makes ferocious runs. i’d be wary about the game being locked up unless we were up by 10 with less than 2 minutes remaining.
rockets 107-102 minny
just read on the bill Ingram chat
That Courtney Lee has asked for a trade… Have y’all heard this?
by Christopher Dion Harris on Jan 30, 2012 10:33 AM CST via iPhone app reply actions
I dont think thats true
I mean we almost traded Martin to make him the starter, he seems happy enough so I think its just bullshit.

And Ingram has seemed to hate the rockets since last year. Don’t know why.
by Christopher Dion Harris on Jan 30, 2012 10:43 AM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
Who knows....
He has said it before that he wants to be a starter. And not extending his contract might have made him ask for a trade. I doubt the Rockets do it unless they get something really great. I know Minny would love/need him, and im sure Lee would be happy to go there with Adelman and the teams now bright future.
Still, I dont see the Rockets trading him until they know what happens in the summer.
What the heck?

It's Bill Ingram.. Don't listen to him.
Dallas and Houston fan making it work. Gig 'em!
YES
Haven’t we been over this like 10000000000 times in the last 4 days? according to him we wouldn’t be able to trade with anyone because everyone hates morey. He also thinks NO wants scola for Kaman. And Wasn’t that him who was the originator of the Magic, rockets, lakers trade thread? yeah…….you with me now?
It's Bill..... Ingram.....

With that said, I hope we beat their guts out tonight. I say Rockets take this 108-100

Do yall think dat
Lowry martin beasley kaman an d bert is better then we gots now…………….trade scola and peices for kaman and lee and what not for beasley??
jus sayin…..

Defense would suffer
As would ball movement.

doubt it bro……..jus sayin…….scola gets off our hands……and then even if dat man kaman dnt stay then we got morris and patterson ya feel me??…..i dnt really see a dropoff and den we get our 3 and lee is good but we still got depth at gaurd…….jus sayin……no disrespect
put a D*ck in ur ear and F*ck wat u hurd
Scola leaving would help defense
But really the issue I have is Beasley and Martin co-existing. Neither one is a creator for others, and are generally ball-stoppers. Add in the fact that neither one plays defense and you’re in trouble.

This is an interesting game to predict
Love is on a mission to prove he deserved a five year max, and not three with a fourth option. Tired legs for the TWolves…I think I’ll take Rockets 105 – 95.
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
Wes Johnson has a small problem at Shooting Guard
He can’t shoot.
And his defense isn’t that great.
Rockets Win, 102-93.
It will be close for much of the game, but the Rockets will pull it away in the 4th quarter. Meanwhile, my man crush on Kevin Love will continue unabated.

Kevin Martin comes back and increases his trade value a little more.

Rockets 105 - 96
Hope the bench keeps it up. Kyle and Scola seems to be playing tired. I think the only 20 minutes playing time in 3 days should help. That is as big a break as you can get this season.
Rockets 106 - Timberwolves 95
Hopefully JJ plays tonight.. I’m dying to see him play.

And after had a big lead at halftime the Lakers came all the way back to tie, and I told my dad, “If they take the lead from us, it’s over.”
They didn’t take the lead from us, and we pulled away. Awesome game.

Was too far to huck a beer at a Stro’s player as per bone’s request. Jess (girlfriend) said I was too far, I said challenge accepted, a security guard said guess again.-BD34
That is the reason I don't go to Battle Red Blog. I would be too rational and guys would flag my posts as spam.-batman713

Though my favorite line is:

He's more like
or
but mostly we like to think of him as this
even though in his interviews he comes across as a really nice, well-spoken guy.

Nice preview, sir. I hope Kevin Martin doesn't bury us again like he did last game
Follow me on Twitter @timallenonline
Thank you
Coming from one of the best that means a lot. And Martin is coming off a sore foot/plantar fasciitis so we’ll see.

I'm so confused.
It seems that you wrote nice things about Wes Johnson. My sarcasm detector is useless on this site!
(Nice preview, by the way.)
I know
It was weird.
