    Kevin Martin's defense is as bad as his offense is good. So can give you +10 on offense while giving -10 on defense.

    Thats a huge YES. I'm a Kevin Martin fan i agree he is really bad at defense. He looks confused most of the time on D, loses his man constantly and doesn't know when to switch and not switch.

    Thunder went with 4 or 5 3-point shooters. That's why Martin was out there.

    Kevin Martin's Defense = Shane Battier's Offense

    Somewhat of a liability on one end but that is covered up by the other person and overlooked because of what they bring. They compliment one another. They complete one another on the wing. They are soulmates.

    Right, you can't have it both ways. That's all the Battier lovers keep saying.

    Is the sky blue?

    Fortunately, his great offense equals out his mediocre defense.

    Who's worse: Battier offensively or Martin defensively?

    Is Carlos Lee fat?
    Is Yao injury prone?
    Would A. Johnson win a fight against C. Innigan?

    ...hmmm...

    "Really bad" is an understatement.

    It's not him. It's the schedule. He'll be fine.

    He's probably the WORST defender at his position that I have ever seen.

    I'm talking Steve Nash bad....probably worse.


    His defense is worse that Lowry's or Battier's jumpshot


    :eek:
