    In their current state. Not what Kevin Martin could TECHNICALLY do, but what he does out there compared to what TMAC does out there. TMAC is currently limping and Martin's current method is to get out of the way but he gets steals.

    Martin can at least keep up with his man.

    T-mac can't run back on D

    Your question and thread title do not match up, it will confuse some people when they vote.

    have Martin go through microfracture surgery, then sit his butt for a year and a half THEN we can compare Martin to T-Mac

    McGrady doesn't even appear to be playing defense, so as poor a defender as Martin is, he gets the edge.

    I hate a good chunk of Rockets fans. Easily T-Mac.

    Oops! I read the thread title and voted for Martin, not realizing that the poll is asking who the better defender is. Martin is definitely the worse defender.

    I think all we ask as Rockets fans is that you try.. If you are trying to play D and are terrible we think you can get better with time.. If you refuse that is something completely different..

    So I'll vote TMAC as worst defender only because we know he can defend but he just doesn't want to..

    Who would win a race up the court and back again: T-Mac or Barkley or Bavetta?

    If you vote Bavetta, would McGrady kiss him on the lips afterwards?

    The Battier of 3 years ago is Angelina Jolie of today or the past?
    The Battier of today is Cathrine Zeta Jones of today or the past?

    Because CZJ was hotter in "The Mask of Zorro" than Angelina in "Hackers" But Angelina was clearly hotter in "Tomb Raider" than CZJ in "Entrapment"..

    I Have clearly over analyzed this and further confused myself..

    tmac is a bad defender b/c he had major injuries. when healthy, he can defend.

    martin is just a bad defender period.
