I know this was greatly damaged by his terrible West Coast road swing (2/4/2012 - 2/14/2012), but he was not shooting well on the road before that. I was looking at these numbers before tonight's game and thought if he explodes tonight (coming back home), I've got to point this out. 35 points on 10-15 shooting later...

Do any of his slumps correlate with trade rumors? The guy who posted the following is credited by other Orlando fans with having inside info on the Gilbert Arenas trade to the Magic. http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1164558&sid=be41a4e2a451c32bd125949e4ca233b4
What are his stats playing in Minnesota? I'm sure he would love to make his Minnesota stats better somehow...
You'll see this trend with most players, no? Of course, not as stark as K-Mart's numbers, but most players tend to play comfortably and better at home. Especially for a shooter like Kevin, he might feel "off" shooting in other courts. I'd be interested to see his away/home numbers over his career in SAC.
I guess I'm wondering if he's really concentrating on his game that much. On the road, they can go out, stay out late, visit with their buds on the other team, then come in and roll out a game. At home, he can do the same things, but he's already "been there, done that" at home, so the tendacy would be to go home and go to bed, and the familiarity with your home arena would naturally cause most of the shooting statistics to be better. I have no other explanation that makes sense. A very stark contrast in his statistics that is well outside of common range.
They're talking about this right now on the broadcast... Last 10 road games for Kevin Martin: 7.3 points on 27.3% shooting (18.9% from three-point range) and only playing 22.2 minutes.
So something like... Houston Gets: Pau Gasol, Jason Richardson, and Earl Clark LAL Gets: Dwight Howard and Luis Scola Orlando Gets: Andrew Bynum, Kevin Martin, and Chandler Parsons Depth C: Dalembert/Hill/Smith/Thabeet PF: Gasol/Patterson/Morris SF: Budinger/Williams/Clark SG: Richardson/Lee PG: Lowry/Dragic/Flynn
