Kevin Martin might have taken a shot at former teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook

Martin continue to perform at a high level under Adelman. I have always been a huge KMart fan but many Rockets fans used to detest Martin for the same things Harden does for the most part - flopping, going to the free throw line and no D

 

Harden used to be more clutch last season... well there are more games left

 

Living in MN the T-Wolves are a pretty fun team to watch.

 

He's outplaying Harden so far this season. Playing team ball, hitting clutch shots, lacks natural defensive skill but makes it up with his length and isn't lazy on that side of the court.

 

And it's not even a contract year. Great signing for the Wolves.

 

It's hard to say that Martin is actually "outplaying" Harden. These guys just have totally different jobs. Sure, Martin is shooting very efficiently once again and scoring in bunches. But Martin is getting easier looks and isn't carrying a heavy play-making load.

For example, 70% of Martin's baskets so far are assisted. 40% of Harden's baskets are assisted. Martin has assisted on 12% of the baskets made by his teammates while on the court. Harden has assisted on 21% of the baskets made by his teammates.

It's good to see KMart having fun again. He is a special weapon in the NBA, but he still does not have the kind of impact that a playmaker like Harden has.

 

By sharing the ball and running the corner offense not by stopping the ball and sticky iso

 

How do their usage rates compare?

 

But the combination of playmaking and scoring efficiently.... Rubio and Martin might be a tad better than the overall package for them

Harden

 

Because Harden likes to play pg for lin and bev and iso. if he would just let the pgs do their jobs he would have more baskets assisted. Harden can't pass the ball the ball to himself. So he just dribble dribble dribbles step back jumper 3.

 

Would you rather have K-Mart on the Rockets instead of Harden?

 

Apparently, if your name is Kevin, you're a valued commodity in the NBA right now. And you're particularly good at scoring.
