    First big game from Landry.Hope it will give him some confidence and minutes,especially with Bonzi hurting.

    I would love to see Scola starting and Landry coming off the bench.
    Play Hayes only 10 minutes a game or when the other team has a strong PF.

    Damn Landry can play. I remember him in pre-season and he looks totally different. He looks like he has lost some weight and his work ethic according to the coaches is great.

    The hornet test would be crucial. I hope we win and avoid getting stung :D .
    The key is to stop Chris Paul.

    Landry still has a lot to learn on defense. Some of ya'll underestimate Hayes' value. He got 8 boards and shut down Al Jefferson tonight as Al was 2-10.

    Sheesh. The Wolves got beat down by the Rockets reserve squad. They probably feel like poo.

    Mike James..2-10 FG

    Matches the 2nd most FG attempt on the team.

    A win vs the Hornets would set EVERYTHING off.

    Landry needs to put some muscle up.

    Too bad Bonzi is hurt, now would be a good time to trade him.

    He's pressing too much. He needs to drive,get to the FT line and make some of them.That will make it a little easier for him to shoot.

    Good game by Shane Battier as well. 10 points (4-5 shooting), 9 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks in 29 minutes.

    Brooks looked a bit sloppy at times, but the guy knows how to pass and get the offense going. Quite a few of Landry's points came as a result of Brooks' good decision-making IMO.

    He was too eager to prove that he could shoot.
    Indeed he can. he shot a lot, contended and missed.

    Why do you want to trade him now and for who?

    You can not trade a player when he is injured.

    Battier had an Kirilenko like stat line for the second time in a row.

    10 points 9 rebounds 3 assists 4 steals 2 blocks and only ONE turnover :D
