    DAMMNIT!!! Why must I be in a place where we don't get Rockets games?!?!?!

    Thanks for the recap. I must go see this game now. I went on to this site half expecting 3-0 Utah and a lot of crappy whining.. but this is a very nice surprise. Go ROCKETS!

    people.. settle down.. this team was not going to get swept.. I knew that even after game 2.. but that doesn't mean they're good enough to win more than one game.. let's wait and see..

    I'm sure most of you realize that he didn't lose an actual tooth...he lost a filler tooth. Deke knocked out his real tooth earlier this year.

    Darn. If that keeps going on, Landry will have no teeth left if we
    go into the WCF .. :D

    Wow... I can't believe all this hype on Landry... That was an awesome play but really, the only difference between this win and the two losses is Rafer Alston.

    Yes Rafer, and as a result of Rafer hitting his shots, difference also was TMac in the 4th Q. But again thats the life of TMac, haters (especially in this forum) will not give him credit for the wins and blame everything on him for the losses. At least TMac is getting love outside, Chron.com (Richard Justice), ESPN etc. Good for him! He deserves it and played his heart out.

    Great article on this game

    As it's been mentioned Landry was making that mean face when Rafer went up to him and kissed him for doing such an awesome job blocking the shot.

    clown rafer for his shooting. bottom line is that we are a completely different team with and without him.

    props big time on the win.

    it wasn't a joke, its the truth. Landry didn't actually lose a tooth - he lost part of his bridge because Mutombo knocked out the actual tooth earlier - they talked about that when Landry came back in the game last night
