    Yes, anything about Landry probably have already been posted unless it is less than five minutes old! :eek:

    Hollinger said this about Landry in a inside article:

    "Yet one player has been even more impressive than Young, at least in his rookie season. His name is Carl Landry ... or as I've taken to calling him, Carl Landry!

    As in, guess who's averaging 19.3 points and 12.9 boards per 40 minutes? Carl Landry!

    Can you believe who's shooting 62.7 percent from the floor? Carl Landry!

    Do you know who's fifth among all power forwards in rebound rate, ahead of David Lee and Kevin Garnett? My goodness, it's Carl Landry!

    Care to guess who's leading all rookies in PER? Yep ... Carl Landry!

    Better yet, have you heard who has the best PER on a 37-20 Houston team with two perennial All-Stars? Would you believe ... Carl Landry!

    The second-round pick from Purdue was an afterthought in Houston's preseason plans -- 6-7 power forwards with limited shooting range haven't had the greatest track record in the NBA. As a result, he only played in three games prior to New Year's Day.

    But on Jan. 11, he went 7-for-7 against Minnesota and hasn't been out of the rotation since. The fact that Landry's increased playing time has been met with a 13-game Houston win streak is not a coincidence. The Rockets are 17-1 when Landry plays more than 10 minutes, and 20-19 when he doesn't.

    I'll grant that his numbers have only been generated in 377 minutes and it seems unlikely that he can keep up quite such a prolific pace. Nonetheless, any discussion of the league's top rookies has to include Landry. He's been brilliant at both ends when he's played, and it's not his fault he was nailed to the bench for half the season."

    Sorry Landlord is Shelden Williams' name. Don't think Battier would let him just hijack that one out of the blue. Mandry and Landrover will have to suffice.

    I hope Bill and Bull start using laundry type phrases when referring to Landry.

    Carl just put Boozer on spin cycle on that drop step to the basket!!

    Landry just hung Duncan out to dry on that drive to the hoop!!!
