    you are willing to admit that freely, and that makes you laugh?

    Man can this season get any worse. I am just glad Landry is doing well after and shooting. Get well Carl hope to see you back on the court when you are ready.

    Awful news. And it's practically a sidebar on Chronicle's ROckets page when it should be the main story. Landry is playing well and I hope he has a speedy recovery. They need to find the thugs that did this. Glad he didn't get more injured or killed in this incident.

    Only bright spot about this, from a Bball perspective, is that Deke might get to play more. But I'd rather have Landry not-shot and in the lineup.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Artest is out there with his dogs trying to hunt these guys down.

    I have heard in the news that Mexican drug violence is starting to spill over into Houston. Is this true?

    doubt it was road rage.. it's just a bunch of low-lifes trying to find "meaning" in their lives by hurting others... thank God Carl is ok..

    Could be MS-13, I heard they like hitting random people from behind with their cars and then shooting them when they get out.

    ****ing low life scum.

    Thank God Carl is ok.

    What the hell was Landry doing in THIS neighborhood at 4:20 in the morning?

    Gotta be a drug deal gone bad.

    So, he lives near Leeland. That makes sense. It's a gentrifying area just east of downtown. Close to the Toyota Center so he can get to practice easily. They have some nice apartments there, but still plenty of crime.

    Bad area of town he got allegedly shot in. He should consider moving from that spot cause I think he lives near that area.

    Glad he's ok.

    It very well could be...

    But I am sure that - hitting random people from behind with their cars and then shooting them when they get out = Drive By or Gang Initiation, which is common amongst all gangs.
