If Martin was even a mediocre defender I think he would probably be the best second banana type player in the league.
Some of you guys are missing the point of this thread. It's just a poke at that Lowry twitter thread. Unless my sarcasm meter is busted...
lol. this is awesome. soo happy that lowry shut me the hell up. martins working, thats all i can ask - you know, as a know-nothing fan
Perimeter defense is overrated. Even Michael Jordan could only make 50% of his jump shots. A good defense closes down the paint while limiting fouls. A big, long tall guy who can intimidate does wonders. Team defense >>>> individual defense.
Do u guys discover that Martin is putting on muscle? I think his three-point shot did not work in previous games is because of this, and now he has adjusted to his normal level.
I enjoyed the way he competed against Kobe the other night. Kobe still had his shots but I thought that was a good challenge and confidence-booster for Kevin. He saw that he could hold his own once in a while. And he attacked the hoop when his outside shots weren't falling. That's all we ask for from him.
Only on ClutchFans would a player be criticized after putting up 28 points and torching the opposing team.. If Martin was an elite defender we would be paying him max $$ the Rockets would not be as deep of a team... pick your poison
