I am amazed at Landry's efficiency and quickness. I'd put Landry way over Scola in terms of hustle, rebounds, and scoring potential...IMO, Landry should be starting over scola...when we were down in the first/second quarter and landry came in we quickly turned it around. The Mandry got a few quick boards that otherwise we would NOT have had, and made some quick shots. Don't get me wrong, I like Scola, but he can get in trouble with easy lay ups, losing the ball on the dribble, and sometimes he looks a little lost out there on D. I think Scola plays a LOT better when Yao is in the game. I suppose when you dunk 90% of the time, you not only are efficient, but you also get the and-1 play when you get fouled, and no one can foul landry hard enough for him to NOT make that dunk when he wants it....it's very difficult to prevent him from making it. I'm just glad that Landry didn't look like he lost a step tonight. Dude was just as explosive as ever, if not more...total beast. We barely got the win, but he shouldn't be very fatigued for tomorrow's game.
Could be a Ben Gordon. Put him in the game and the team starts losing because it doesn't have that spark off the bench to energize the team.
Without Landry, we would've lost tonight's game for sure. He's truely our X-factor, and a huge one at that.
When Yao is out, T-Mac NEEDS Landry to be in the game. I actually felt bad for the guy the last two games doing pick and rolls with Mutombo and Hayes...that was painful to watch, and it was difficult for me to rail on him because I know I would be demoralized if I got double-teamed off every pick and roll.
I say Carl needs to dunk on Shaq and force the entire ball down one of Shaq-fu's nostrils until it comes flying out of the base of his skull...and then sink the free throw to complete the 3, the Medieval Way.
Derrick Coleman got him back in the day. Ever since then, Shaq runs away when somebody comes in the lane hard. LANDRY WILL GET HIM!!!!
Scola has the best record in the league right now as a starter (something like 27-3). Until that number drops we're gonna see Scola starting. Especially if Landry has "knee issues". Besides the record, yeah Landry's the better player and probable starter later on. Scola starting and Landry off the bench has had outstanding results where you really cant ask for anything more. Its been way above expectations that beats the best in the league. I say ride it out the way it is until a tweak is absolutely necessary
Carl is our savior. IF we had him during the last two games our losses wouldn't have been so lopsided and our odds of winning would have been better. Great to see him back.
Landry makes all his teammates better, because it's so easy to toss as assist to him. lol He even makes Head look like a clever passer.
i think if landry keep playin the way he does and stay health, i think rick will give him the starting role in the playoff
True, I suppose we need The Mandry off the bench for his explosiveness, especially if the starting crew isn't getting the job done. I do like having both scola AND landry in the lineup at the same time when possible...it definitely gives us a huge advantage on the boards...can you imagine how huge that would have been for the Celtics game when they were getting every single offensive rebound?
