Minnesota at Houston: Wipeout For Wiseman

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

The Wolves are 0-3 against the Rockets for the season. That will move to 0-4 after tonight.

I'd like to see a bounce-back game from the backcourt, specifically D'Angelo Russell shooting the basketball. All it takes is a make or two early for him to get in a night long rhythm.

Malik Beasley is playing for his next contract and I think he's done everything within his power to this point to demand $20-million annually, but if there's no team willing to pay him that then it won't matter what he demands. I still think he should fall in that $12-16-million mark. Hopefully Gersson Rosas plays that correctly.

Josh Okogie locking up James Harden is always fun. I have no stats to back this up right now, but I'd bet there's only a handful of guys in the league that defend Harden as well as Okogie does.

Let's hope for an entertaining game all the way through, but with a continued understanding that this season is about ping pong balls. James Wiseman is the prize. I'd have to hope that's how the front office feels as well, but who really knows.

PS: Darren Wolfson dropped some news earlier today. Apparently, Rosas and company had legitimate interest in Donatas Motiejunas when his season concluded overseas. He also said that'd be a name to watch this summer for Minnesota. If that's the case, then I hope Rosas envisions a Wiseman and Karl-Anthony Towns pairing could, or would, work.

Two threes and a dunk in transition for Juancho in the first couple minutes here. Sheesh.

Here we go with the referees. Bailing out the Rockets for having undersized guys defending behemoths like Naz Reid.

If they die, they die.

Ya that was BS

D-Lo with a couple threes in this quarter. Should be a good sign. Shot that last one in Harden's face.

Watching Houston go 5 out and watching Russel or Harden just hold the Ball for 14 seconds is some of the most boring basketball I've ever watched.

The Jeff Teague and Shabazz Napier pairing was downright awful together, but D-Lo and J-MAC works really well together. Some good ball movement with those two.

Agree 100%

James Johnson for Gorgui was such a great trade

[Coolbreeze44]

That right there is why he has earned the nickname, the Matador
