    I don't think you can come up with them. And we've got both of them starting side by side for us.

    My new theory:
    You can't win if you have two of the worst defenders in the league playing side by side.

    We're either going to the lottery or there has to be a lineup change for balance.

    The No-Handchecking rule hurts wingplayers with slow feet.

    Stern needs to put that rule back in the NBA(I like Defense)

    Nah, Martin is pretty bad. If he ain't hitting his shots then he becomes useless I'm afraid.

    I agree. And so is Mo.


    The point is it is very difficult to come up with ten defenders that are worse than Bud and Martin and we've got them both starting for us. 40% of our lineup is among the worst defenders in the NBA. And Scola isn't much better. Then all you've got left is Lowry (very good defender) and Hill (unknown, too light in the drawers to handle bigger bigs), an average defender. That lineup is NOT going to work.

    Budinger isn't as awful on defense as Martin.

    Martin has to be the worst defending starting 2-guard in the league. I don't mind the 1-10 shooting nearly as much as him being a zero or negative contributor in every other facet of the game as well.
