Guys, We Really Need To Stop Overrating Carl Landry

+10000000

Landry is not overrated. He is just amazing. It's too bad he plays for the Rockets, if he were on the Celtics or Lakers, the national media would be ALL over him like brown on rice.

He's special, and will only get more special-er.

 

If he was on the Celtics or the Lakers he would average about 10 points and no one would talk about him.

 

That is strictly opinion on your part. You have no fact to back up that fact.

The Rockets are one of the better teams in the league and Landry is one of their better players and best offensive force. Those two little nuggets are facts.

 

And Kobe would score 100 points a game if he were on the Rockets right? Because our team sucks so much, and our offense is a train wreck.

 

I know right? And our team is so bad that there is no way we will make the play-offs. YaoMac09 must be a basketball savant.

 

Since Landry is in the race for this year's Sixth Man award, I looked up the previous winners:

2001-02 Corliss Williamson
2002–03 Bobby Jackson
2003–04 Antawn Jamison
2004–05 Ben Gordon
2005–06 Mike Miller
2006–07 Leandro Barbosa
2007–08 Manu Ginóbili
2008–09 Jason Terry

That's a pretty high-powered group. Is Landry as good as these guys?

 

Say he played on the Lakers..Yea he would still be the go to guy in the last...Yea the offense would run through him when he is on the court

There is only one ball on the court

 

And you must be a moron

The Rockets play hard and play as a team, they will make the playoffs but get knocked out when the opposing team's playing intensity increases because the Rockets lack TALENT.

Talent does not equal effort, but you are too simple to understand the concept.

 

I think he's as good or better than everybody on that list with the exceptions of Manu and Jamison. Those guys are better than Landry.

 

If you ran the Lakers, who would you want? Odom or Landry?

 

If you ran the Lakers, would he become the focal point when he is on the floor?

If you ran the Lakers, would you go to him in the 4th?

Answer those, before you even think about asking me questions.
FYI Landry because Odom is a sack of rocks.

 

I know. Landry is so lucky to be on such a suck ass team like the Rockets with such a scrub like Scola playing in front of him.

He could never be this efficient a scorer for long. I mean its not like he has been this efficient for the past three seasons right?

It's not like Carl could ever put up these types of numbers on a play-off caliber team right?

Imagine if Brandon Roy played for the Lakers. His numbers would go down playing behind Kobe. Damn he sure sucks right?

YaoMac09 the basketball savant!

 

I think he'd fit nicely in that group! He's not worse nor better than any of those guys.

Is he putting up the same type of numbers? Yes. Does he deserve the award so far? Yes.

 

Whatever makes you sleep at night child.

 

If so. Why is Shane Battier in the NBA? Why is Chuck Hayes in the NBA? Think of the Rockets as a band of slightly less-talented players that nobody else in the NBA wanted. But through sheer teamwork, hustle, and effort, they are able to play at a level far greater than any of these other 'talent-stacked' teams.

Based on your talent assessment the Rockets should be 0-30.
And the Nets should be 20-10. Just because they have Devin Harris.
Should Lakers be 30-0 to you as well?

Talent isn't everything, and it shouldn't be considered everything. You know how good of a role model this Rocket team is? Everyone doubts them, but they teach hard work to kids that want to reach their goals.

 

If you ran the Lakers, would he become the focal point when he is on the floor? Is Lamar Odom the focal point when he is on the floor? Why is he considered so highly then? The discussion was not who the player the offense would run through, the discussion was...would Landry get the same type of attention if he played for the Lakers.

If you ran the Lakers, would you go to him in the 4th? Do they go Lamar in the 4th? Why would they go to Landry? I think you already answered my question at the bottom. So thanks.

Answer those, before you even think about asking me questions.
FYI Landry because Odom is a sack of rocks.

 

What? Is this possible? The Basketball Savant has no basketball related come back? No facts to support your arguments?

Maybe you should order NBA League Pass and come back when you learn the basketball is round.

 

Did you miss everything i said about effort.....My god

 

Are you a LOF or a moron?

 

to hell with u!! he is awsome
