You guys just think he's worse than he is because of his reputation. He's no Scottie Pippen, but he's not the worst either.

If he's not a terrible defense then how come you always want him to defend the opposing PG? I'll tell you why. Because he can't defend any half decent shooting guards.

Because he matches up better with some point guards. He'll have difficulty guarding stronger sgs that like to post up because he's only 185 pounds. I wouldn't mind seeing him guard smaller shooting guards like Jamal Crawford though. He struggled guarding Evans because he was getting out-muscled by him. Battier is better off guarding the stronger and bigger players.

You do realize that the Rockets had an above .500 record w/o Landry last year right? I believe that their record was better without him than with him.

yea but that's cause everything was clicking, people were making shots. But take out Jordan hill and plug in Landry and we are +2 games right now at least. +2 games in the win column not +2 games above .500

This team is different than they were last year. It doesn't have anything to do with Martin because Martin is playing the same. Battier is playing worse and Ariza is gone this year. Injuries have also been a problem. Those are the biggest differences.

You can make a fair argument for a majority of the people on that list against Martin. Martin sucks on D and every guard that he's been assigned has gone off on him.

Re: Houston Rockets Vs Oklahoma City Thunder
My perfect record, ruined. I contemplated slashing my wrists, but like a little emo kid, I enjoy self harm too much. Instead I will continue to watch Rockets basketball as much as possible.
