    ive actually been very impressed with kmart this year. he's still getting his points even though he doesn't get calls anymore. i used to think he was a fake star that just flopped a lot, but he's getting buckets.

    Maybe because other teams are adjusting to K-Mart and not buying the fakes, he isn't using them as much.

    I dont think a change of offensive system leads to an individual not getting foul calls in an iso situation.

    It seems Kyle has the ball more often this year, probably limiting KMarts touches a bit.

    They've said multiple times that they're no longer calling the step into your opponent call while in the act of shooting, so you'd expect him to have a decline in that particular stat.

    Plus they're still learning the new offense, the whole Princeton style O that Adelman implemented looks to be out the window. He and Chase are really hurting as we can all see, due to the change.

    So, the same guy who was in control last year, who just set a record for most assists without a FG, is averaging 11 assists per game, is limiting KMart's touches?

    Yes he is....he is passing to Kmart to shoot it, but last year, everyone had the ball more often.

    Kyle is now numero uno in charge of the rock, he is distributing like a Gorram champion, but that does not mean that everyone gets to touch it as much as they did under Adelman.

    Why would you want to drive the ball and create contact like a madman when the team ur playing for is trying to trade your ass away. I don't blame martin one bit.

    No you don't!!!! Have you ever done that? I have been in massive car wrecks, had other various accidents, broken bones, etc. That's the worst! Right up there with Shingles (not the roofing kind) and dental pain.

    Can we just stop having a scapegoat every damn year. Please? It's absolutely ridiculous.
