OKC is so much better offensively when Martin is playing with first unit than they were last when Harden played with Westbrook and Durant. Much more ball movement, quick decisions..Last year it was all ISO. Harden usually just stood in the corner when he didn't have the ball, while Martin is elite if not the best off-ball scorer in the NBA. Last year they were dead-last in assists, they will be top 15 this year. When 2nd unit get it together(Maynor-Martin-PJ3-Collison-Thabeet), especially Maynor they will be much much better than they were last year come playoff time. Not to mention that they get our best prospect(Lamb) and three draft picks. Morey got punked by Presti.
Martin is definitely gonna hit 60% of his 3's for the rest of the year right? lol your moniker should be "MartinMVP"
Martin will thrive with OKC. 6th man off the bench, no pressure, tons of open shots, no need to create off the dribble much... It was pretty much the role he envisioned when he came to the Rockets (not the 6th man of course).
Kmart is 21th most efficient scorer in NBA history and he did that as a focal point for opposing defenses.
He looks so effortless and happy out on the court. The difference between playing where your production is absolutely NEEDED vs. playing where it is WELCOMED.
I'm still waiting for LinMVP to respond to my post in the GARM...hes been blasting on here but ignores my post with FACTS. i guess that what happens when you attempt to actually have an intelligent convo with a troll not unlike himself
