Picture(s) for the Game.



Playoffs are right around the corner, and if I end up in the thread making of the Playoffs, I will decorate them more.

We can reclaim the 2nd seed and sweep the Suns with a victory.

Phoenix pretty much blew their playoff chances losing to the Kings.. But it's on national TV, at Phoenix, so I'd expect a better performance. Need another huge game from Brooks and Yao. Would really like a win before heading into LA.

I need some ROX!! Anyone going through Rockets withdrawal? I'm getting the shakes.. I cant wait to see what happens when we get some more practice under our belts.. Adelman looked like he put some things for yao the last game and they worked perfectly (clippers are hardly a barometer for success.. but.. still).. Hope he puts in something for Ron when hes struggling to get a shot.. Iso's not working

On Monday, Landry returned to Rockets practice for the first time since he was shot nearly two weeks earlier, and he found little had changed. He stretched with the team, went through shooting drills, and smiled while teammates kidded him about coming back too late to make last week’s road trip to snowy Salt Lake City but in time to go to Phoenix and Los Angeles this week.

Monday was an important day in that process, but just a first step. Neither Landry nor the Rockets put a timetable on when he would be able to practice or play, having had little experience with rehabilitation from gunshot wounds and not knowing how his injury would respond to Monday’s workload.

“Hopefully we’ll get him back, especially toward the end of the season when he can get some games under him before we hit the playoffs,” coach Rick Adelman said. “He’s huge for us off the bench — the energy he gives us, the scoring he gives us, just the whole package. I’m looking forward to seeing how quickly he progresses over the next week. I think he’s going to be able to get through it. It’s got to be a scary experience, but he seemed fine today.

It looks like he's expected to return on the last week of regular season.

I think we can last.. I think we can fair with the games coming up, even the Lakers, without him. It will be tough.
