    Carl Landry, please accept the trophy, if you can abuse pryzbilla, you deserve the title, now we just need to work on getting the ball to him.

    Landry is doing his thing in fourth quarters against the opposing team's starters.

    We went to him almost exclusively down the stretch.

    If there was more time left on the clock, I imagine they would have gone to him again.

    I suppose they could have gotten him the ball with 3 seconds left but it likely would have been a contested jump shot. It would be hard to get it to him in the post.

    Almost every team in the league goes to perimeter players in a situation like our final possession. Unfortunately, we don't have an elite perimeter player.

    Our best chance to win this game was stopping Roy at the other end.

    I heard the Portland announcers say that Carl has played more minutes in the 4th than any other Rocket this season...and it's deserved.

    The guy is a beast. What PF makes a jump from 80 ft shooting to 90% in a single year?

    The thing about scola is he can't really draw fouls, I think refs are hesitant abou calling fouls for scola because of his rep.

    TMAC > Landry, scola

    You have to have someone that can dribble.

    Sorry but I have to disagree...

    Our go to Guy is by Committee... That's what's making this team so dangerous... You never who's going to step up in every game, makes it hard to defend or prepare for.

    Luis needs more time to draw a foul. He is pretty crafty around the basket but with 3 seconds left,he shouldn't have been the man to take it.

    Landry has really surprised me.

    I thought he wasn't going to be this good, hopefully he doesn't slow down.

    Landry is straight up beast. His post moves has improved and his FT % is amazing...

    He's figured out how to reduce his offensive fouls, if he ends up getting star calls, he'll be an all star.

    It should be illegal for Landry to wear condoms. A man like that needs to propagate his seed as thoroughly as possible.

    its exciting not knowing what is going to happen.

    also, its easier to goat a player than goat a team.
    when the team looses, its easier to take in stride.

    i've been saying this for a while. carl landry is our best offensive player right. your go-to guy should be your best offensive player. he can shoot the J, take it in, post up, draw fouls, shoot fts... give the guy the ball.

    The thing is I never see him getting double teamed, I wonder why teams don't double team him?

    They sure did at the end of the game. He will start getting doubled soon at this rate.
