I hate to say it but...with Kevin Martin as our SG we win that ballgame

    Greatness. The only appropriate response.

    That conclusion assumes that KMart would have gotten the same numbers being the number one option on our current team. Terrible logic.

    I'm a big Kevin Martin fan, but your post is pretty stupid. I love the way K-Mart scores, his unorthodox release, but with K-Mart on our team we would be fairly mediocre. In my eyes, thats who Kevin Martin is. He is a great scorer that will score efficiently night in and night out, and will make a mediocre/bad team somewhat competitive and entertaining to watch. He's not in the star level where if he's your best player you are going to be a good playoff team, but I feel like if he takes a small role on a team with other stars his pure scoring skills aren't being utilized enough.

    But K-mart has KD to draw attention. In Houston, he would be the man. Big difference.

    With Fisher on our team we win the game. We never should have bought that old b*stard out and kept him as the ballboy. His illegal defense, flops, and threes killed us. To think we could have put him in the middle of the huddle and had everyone rub his head for good luck.

    Rockets will only improve if they hire a new coach who can hold Harden accountable in defense and not playing the point, or trade Harden for an elite two-way PF.

    We win if Martin is our SG?

    Sorry if someone has already posted a thought along these lines, but if we still had Martin (assuming we still made the playoffs) then that means the Thunder would still have had Harden and the loss of Westbrook doesn't hit OKC nearly as hard. We may have been knocked out even sooner. Game, blouses.

    Lol isn't this that same guy who shat on Martin when we first got him? With Martin instead of Harden, we aren't in the playoffs, lol.

    there were about 5 times that he drove aggressively and got fouled and there was no call. There were still other times he drove besides that. Harden did deserve more FTs and didnt get them.

    This is based on this series alone.

    Harden = KMart

    Their worst game:
    Game 4 Harden = Game 5 KMart

    Their best game:
    Game 5 Harden = Game 6 KMart

    Hell no lol wtf??

    Harden doubled up Martin statistically in pretty much every category lol. Not even close.

    Worst game? Martin's 3/4/1 game does not equal Harden's 15/1/3.

    And best game? Martin's 25/3/3 does not equal 36/11/6 (Game 2 which was his best game) NOR his 31/8/3 from Game 5. Harden had, like, 3 games better than Kmart's best game. And all his other games were better than Kmart's second best game.

    This is my que to take a break from Clutch until next season. It's all blame xyz and doom and gloom now.

    We were a new (young, very young) team who were not expected to make the playoffs. We took the #1 seed in the West to 6 game and didn't get swept. We came out of this season better then we had coming in. I consider this a successful start to a new team.

    So all you haters suck it.

    All L-mart did was catch and shoot off of Durant who was the focus of our defense.

    Harden was the focus of the Thunder D and still contributed. Keep drinking

    Can't argue with someone who only reads into the box scores. That's why we have different opinions.

    You cant compare a young and raw Harden to one of the most explosive scorers ever when healthy in tmac yet. Tmac was a freak of nature. He could score from anywhere on the floor.
