Carl Landry Will Not Accept Your Kisses, But He Will Lead You To Victory
Published 4/25/2008 by Awful Announcing- at Awful Announcing
There hasn't been a better defensive play to seal a game in these Playoffs, or in any Playoffs that I can remember, than this Carl Landry play against Deron Williams and the Jazz. The best part though is the kiss that Rafer Alston tries to give the Rockets' defender (1 minute in)..... ...

Carl Landry Blocks Deron Williams Shot, Not As Effective with Rafer Alston's Lips
Published 4/25/2008 at FanIQ Blog
What a huge block, and more importantly, the subsequent hustle to keep the ball in Houston's possession by the rookie out of Purdue. Carl Landry has been greatly overlooked in a rookie class with many players contributing good minutes, with his own teammate Luis Scola stealing some of the spotlight. Assuming Landry doesn't spend his whole career on the same team as Tracy McGrady, he'll end up as a critical player on several championship teams a la Horace Grant. Landry, who lost a tooth earlier in the game, was able to deny this Deron Williams game winner. ...

But Carl Landry Can't Block Rafer's Smooch!
Published 4/25/2008 by Tom Ziller at FanHouse
Filed under: Rockets, NBA Playoffs, NBA Videos, NBA Last Night, Jazz, HoustonCarl Landry's block on Deron Williams to seal Houston's win in SLC was (as Shoals notes at The Sporting Blog) the stuff of legends. (It might even be comparable to Tayshaun Prince's absurd block-from-behind on Reggie Miller earlier this millenia, insofar as a momentum-shifting play which catapaults an unheralded but excellent kid into some decent attention.) Landry was able to deny Deron, sure ... but he couldn't deny the missile-like desire of Rafer Alston. ...

The Internets are alive: Rockets at Jazz, Game 3
Published 4/25/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
Scanning the blogs and beats following the Rockets' 94-92 win over the Jazz in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals ... Brad Rock, Deseret News: "Realistically, this series isn't likely to end any differently than expected, even though the Rockets did win 22 consecutive games in the regular season. The Jazz are too much for the injury-depleted Rockets. Houston isn't going to win four of the final five games — three of the next four, now — to take the series, any more than Houston Control is going to try sending another astronaut to the moon. But that ...

Respect the Hustle
That's how you protect your homecourt. Luis Scola, Carl Landry and Chuck Hayes are the three-headed monster of hustle. We're working on a t-shirt right now. But they're not the only ones, it's become contagious. The Rockets are those guys... the ones at the gym who just take the game too seriously. They never know when to quit, dive after every loose ball, foul you hard and challenge ...
Some like it rough: Five hardest fouls of the NBA playoffs
We're only nine days in on 40, and already this year's NBA playoffs has seen its fair share of rough play. Josh Smith is punking Pierce, Carl Landry is losing teeth and D-West can't stop slapping around Dirk. It's like the 80's in long shorts out there. (Slight exaggeration.) But which has been the hardest playoff foul to-date? Cast your vote below. The current top five candidates: Jason ...
NBA Nonsense
I don't like the NBA. I make no bones about that fact. But, I love to see Purdue guys do well. Here's our man, Carl sealing the win v. the Jazz last night: Also noteworthy, Kenny Smith does his best Kobe Bryant impersonation. Very funny stuff especially since Smith really could leap back in the day...think Mr. Bill meets the Mamba.

Carl Landry Says Hi
We’re back in the house and as you can see, Carl Landry is so happy about it, he lost a tooth. Actually, that came courtesy of a Carlos Boozer forearm (and a Mutombo elbow in practice).

Carl "The Tooth" Landry, Houston's Newest Hero
It was, quite simply, awesome. The Rockets had all but put it away, then inexplicably did everything in their power to give it back to the Jazz. Enter Houston's newest no. 1 son... Carl "The Tooth" Landry. With seconds left and clinging to a 1-pt advantage, the Utah Jazz patiently ran their sets, just waiting for the right point of attack. You almost have to marvel at Deron Williams' ...
Basketball Diaries
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
