The NBA Playoffs: Where Luis Landry Happens
Published 4/25/2008 by grungedave at The Dream Shake - a Houston Rockets blog
... Kiss My Ass, Carlos Boozer - there will be no sweep!!!! Rockets try their best to blow a 7 point lead, but Luis Landry was having none of it. Game totals Luis Landry - 23 points, 21 rebounds, 10 fouls, 2 steals and 2 blocks. The last block being HUGE. Lose tooth... block shot... save the game. It's a zero sum game. Defense, defense, defense. The Rockets finally boxed out and stopped going underneath the picks... and all of a sudden, they started winning. Amazing how that works! ...

The NBA Playoffs: Where Not Showing Up For Game 3 Happens
Published 4/25/2008 by moneyline at The Money Line Journal
... It probably wasn’t fair to lump the Magic and Jazz in with the Cavs. If the Orlando really had no desire to win Game 3 at least they pretended like they did. (Un) Fortunately they shot 6-27 from 3. That is 22.2%, which isn’t good for an 8th grade rec league team let alone an NBA team that generates a good chunk of their offense from beyond the arc.  Hopefully these struggles continue into Game 4. Jazz/Rockets Under 184 -106 (1.5) - Hou 94 Utah 92  Man do I hate totals.   I would give up on them in a ...

Houston Rockets 94 Utah Jazz 92 Tracy McGrady is getting all the credit for the upset over the Jazz but not from me. Yeah, he scored 27 points - 7 critical ones in the fourth quarter - but his missed shots and boneheaded offensive foul against Andrei Kirilenko in the last 47 seconds allowed the Jazz to make it a one-point game. My vote goes to Carl Landry, who made clutch rebounds in the final
