-Was this the game that Carl Landry broke through and demanded he be a bigger part of the team? I haven’t seen many players as quick as he is getting up, and as long as he gets the ball by the basket, it’s a good bet that it’s going in. He’s shooting an obscene 69.5% from the field on the year. At the very least, Rick Adelman should get him more involved in the offense. Friend of TSWOSM Brandon came up with a great nickname, and so it shall stand.
To Berman’s Dry Cleaning, Best Wishes, Carl Landry.
-This game shouldn’t have been as close as it was. The Pacers shot an absurd 50% on three-pointers, most of which came relatively well guarded. Meanwhile, the Rockets continued to pass the ball down to The Official Whipping Boy of TSWOSM, Rafer Alston, who responded by shooting a superb 3-11 from the field. At one point Bill Worrell remarked “Rafer was surprised when he turned the corner and he was unguarded.” Well, he shouldn’t be. He’s always wide open, because nobody cares if he shoots.
-Pretty poor game by Yao standards. 4-12 from the field. I was thinking that Indiana was being really physical with him and getting away with a lot of calls, but then I look and he shot 12 free throws, so I guess complaining about that is kind of dumb. On the plus side, no turnovers. McGrady continues to be the best passer on the team with 9 assists. Shane Battier’s really had a tough year…not as bad as Bruce Bowen has had for the Spurs, but his shooting numbers are down all across the board and the Rockets could really use some more conversions on wide open looks.
-To be honest, I had forgotten the Pacers actually existed. Jermaine O’Neal never seems to play anymore, and the other guys I identify as Pacers just don’t play for them anymore; Miller, Artest, Rik Smits, hell, even Austin Croshere isn’t sucking up salary cap space anymore. It’s a weird team to see on paper. And Travis Diener is taking the last shot? Really?
