ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 4/10/2026

Couldn't agree more with what you've said.

He was a fantastic GM for the Rockets.

People claiming otherwise and even going to the extent of clowning on him is just straight up laughable.

Even more so when they have to grit their teeth and fake a smile to pretend that Stone is a better GM.

 

Brad Stevens would have won 2 rings if he stayed as coach.

 

I actually wonder who the Lakers and Denver fans want to see lol...

 

So better than last seaon

 

Patrick Fertitta needs to grow some balls and make changes.

 

You can’t move on from Tari without replacing him. He erratic and a double edge sword but he’s a better option than Tate, DFS, or Okogie

 

My favourite part of the game was Sengun getting a nice help block that started a break and Amen came through with a hammer that was such a momentum builder that Chris Finch had to take a timeout.

And then in the timeout Udoka just cooked Alpe and benched him because he wasn't happy with a previous play. That was a special moment.

 

The team looked looked like they were gelling. They looked like they were settling into their roles. Their was consistency. They were showing improvement. Ball movement had improved.

So what does Ime do?

Changes up the rotation and the roles guys were getting used to 3 games before the playoffs.

Look, start whoever. Doesnt matter at this point.

But one of my biggest issues with the way Ime has handled things this year besides his obvious lack of offensive coaching ability is that due to his lineup choices guys have never gotten into a flow. Changing the fifth starter constantly and then never giving an actual guard a real opportunity.

They jumped the gun on that extension. Hes been lousy this season especially.

 

Should have kept John Wall.

 

Limit Reed Sheppard’s minutes…. Rockets give up nearly 150 points.

 

Tough loss but the Twolves just hit tough shots all game

We'll lose in the 2nd round to OKC in 5 or 6

 

If the Lakers are smart, they'd lose the next game to face the Rockets in the first round and not try to take the #3 seed to face the Wolves.

Rockets are bbq chicken compared to every other team in the playoffs (regardless of the 8 game win streak)

 

But @SamFisher told us differently.
The midget hipster understands basketballs and cherry picked stats

 

lolol. Utah's too busy losing games by 80 points thinking they can get all the lottery picks. If they can lose by less than 15, it's considered a win for them. But hey, who knows...

 

Imagine how many they may have given up had the minutes not been limited!

 

Loss didn't matter for Houston as the Lakers would beat the Jazz on Sunday. Of course now they may rest some starters to secure playing the Rockets since they already have HCA.

Rockets could've won out and they'd still be the 5th seed.

 

Finally, a refreshing new argument instead of the same re-hashed ones. Truly a breath of fresh air. Thank you!

 

The Lakers have to win their last game also.

Now that they've secured home court, I would sure as hell rather play us than Minnesota if I were them.

 

Errr, their last game is at home and against Utah? Same Utah that has been tanking?

Okay yeah, you could in theory outtank the Jazz, but in reality how do you do this.......remains to be answered if you have ur own fans booing you.
