    Landry is obviously injured. He's getting zero elevation and explosiveness when he dunks.

    Really? I just don't see that....I see him getting elevation and dunking, I just don't think he is wide open anymore.

    I agree. We need to open the lane for Landry. But Utah (actually the whole NBA) has him scouted now. He can't do it by himself. He can't create against this team.

    We need Alston back, and for him to have an X-factor game for us...which means hitting his 3s...and openning up the lane.

    imo, Scola did not "do his thing." he's better than what he's done. Too much losing the ball. He needs to play better for us to win. He needs to play perfect for him. 5 rebounds in 40+ minutes ain't going to cut it. All those missed FTs by him aren't going to cut it.

    I just think the Jazz took away the backdoor for Landry. Opposing teams probably watch him like a hawk now too. What would be nice though is to see Landry use his ball handling skills more and shoot that 15 footer he's got.

    I wonder how many teams are saying their playoff savior is a undersized,half injured, 2nd rd rookie?

    I wonder how many teams are kicking themselves for not drafting that 2nd round rookie.

    Can you change your signature? I want our karma to stay with us. After all the things that been happening, the least we could do is be like the warrior fans. Don't think the basketball Gods will look upon helping us any further if the rockets fans don't appreciate what they have.

    Support every player no matter what. T-mac did his part, and your signature is a diss. Please remove it for the sake of karma. Boozer was overconfident and said he won't be going back to toyoto center, look what happened to them.

    He definitely isn't as explosive but that block took some quickness and elevation... that's more than he had earlier and enoogh to make a difference.

    did you see the second bounce he had to grab the ball after the block?

    Everyone else was just landing.

    I was gonna say... that was just sick athleticism. Not to mention his hops and quickness getting all those offensive rebounds.

    It's the playoffs, you can't expect Landry to get 3 open dunks a game now that the defense cares as much as he does.
