    Kevin Martin isn't the best defender in the world but I'm impressed at his improvement. I think it's time we praise the guy and let him know that Rocket fans still love him despite all that BS trade stuff.

    Thank you Martin for everything you do.

    He was playing good D at the end of the game against Derek Williams. McHale should really play him more at his natural power forward position.

    For a dude that's nearly 6'8" he has some really short arms.

    Well, yeah, he's completely **** the bed offensively. He better be using that extra energy on the defensive end.

    :D

    Are we showing appreciation for posters who post in defense of Kevin Martin? Or are we talking about his actual basketball defense.

    If one of those things doesn't exist, then surely it must be the other!

    I appreciate McHale holding his players accountable on both ends of the floor.

    The Slender Sniper is also the Force at the Four, the Delicate Defender, and the Willowy Warrior. Fear him.
