Game Preview #14: San Antonio Spurs @ Houston Rockets

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:19:15 -0500

Damn, this team is deep. After the nasty 4-6 start to the season, the Spurs have gone on a 3-game winning streak. In the last game, we beat an exhausted, overworked Warriors team that was on a SEGABABA. Big frickin' deal. The only "good" team we beat during our little win streak was Milwaukee, and that's a very liberal usage of the word "good". Tonight, the task gets a bit tougher - beat an angry Rockets team in their arena. Did...

A Landry family resemblance

Fri, 22 May 2009 20:41:02 -0500

Two years ago, the Bucks had Purdue's Carl Landry in for a workout and were impressed. Landry went on to become a second-round draft choice and just completed his second NBA season with the Rockets. On Friday, the Bucks worked out Carl's younger brother, Marcus, a four-year Wisconsin player who is making his way through the workout circuit and is trying to follow his brother's footsteps.

Stock Up, Stock Down: NBA Playoffs Second Round

Sat, 16 May 2009 13:16:18 -0500

Stock Up: Cleveland We start off with a no-brainer. The Cavs played two inferior opponents, which may mean that they're not as good as they've looked so far. On the flip side, they did exactly what you're supposed to do against inferior opponents: crush them. Last year's playoffs were an anomaly in that the eventual champion Celtics struggled with an Atlanta Hawks team they should have swept in the first round. Usually, a championship team deals with it's weaker brothers ...

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 13:21:08 -0500

While driving home this morning after a Monday night game against New Orleans, Houston forward Carl Landry was involved in a small collision with another car just southeast of downtown Houston. When Landry got out of the car to inspect what damage, if any occurred, he was shot at twice by the occupants of the other car, one bullet striking his leg. The damage was relatively light - a flesh wound that’ll keep him out for about two weeks - but it’s still just about the dumbest thing...

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:44:23 -0500

A Daily Babble Production Former Hawks forward Josh Childress is already gone to the European leagues. Now, there is a chance the NBA could lose another promising young player.

Buddy Baker's Big Move

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 08:46:13 -0500

If you go to http://www.imsportsservices.com/, you will be hit with a white page that says, "This site is Under Construction." Who knows how long construction will last now that Andrew "Buddy" Baker has left Ice Miller, which is a huge Indianapolis law firm that had IM Sports Services under its umbrella. Baker basically was IM Sports Services, which means that it is doubtful that Ice Miller ever regains an interest in the world of sports representation. I say that it is doubtful since Baker purchased all of IM Sports Services's assets, allowing him to continue to manage the careers of the athletes that has represented in the past. Buddy Baker has transferred over twenty-eight NFL players, twenty professional basketball players (mostly overseas), and three coaches to his new Indianapolis-based agency. Some of his more popular clients include Carl Landry (Houston Rockets), James Singleton (Dallas Maveracks), and Aaron Moorehead (Indianapolis Colts). At thirty-seven years old, Buddy Baker talks like he is ready to take over the world

Gerald Green Released by the Rockets

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 14:08:21 -0500

The Houston Rockets have released Gerald Green to make room for a front court player because of injuries to Carl Landry and Yao Ming. I really feel bad for Gerald. He was so excited to be going to Houston from Minnesota. He said it was a dream come true and now he is a player without a team. Maybe another team who need scoring will pick him up for the rest of the season, but he probably will need to prove himself to a team in the off season to get any kind of deal. He may even need to go to t...
