    At the last minute everyone is watching Brooks goes one on one most of the time. When we finally get Kyle back, expect Martin to be even more effective.

    No more Threads about Kevin Martin. Wait til he finishes out the season with the Rockets and then we can talk. But right now its only been a few games and we're judging him like Simon do with the idols.

    He can handle it in the open court. Granted it's different against a half court team like Detroit,but I expected him to take old Rip off the dribble.
    This is a big weakness of ours,which is appreciated by posters like yourself.
    The return of Kyle will help but it's not going to be enough.

    7/31 from 3 pt land in the last 3. That's a big reason that we're 1-2 during this stretch.

    Maybe if AB passes the ball Martin can get more touches instead of AB jacking up 3's or turning the ball over.

    Your a noob. Martin just arrived here, let the guy some freakin time.

    He's lived almost 10 years in the same place and suddenly he's asked to move to a completly different town, and immediately take and make the tough shots.
    Your a r****d if your judging Martin's performance and talent based on the games your seeing this year.

    What he does right now is only icing on the cake.

    Next year however, once he's had a chance to settle down and spend a summer in Houston, he will be 100%, and you, like everyone else will then have the right to criticize him.

    Until then, what you say is irrelevant.

    Yeah, I agree, I had to rewind the game a couple of times for my cousin so he could see his inexplicable awkwardness with the ball. Also had to rewind a couple of times to show how out of position he was multiple occasions on defense. I'm not throwing him under the bus, these are just some weaknesses in his game I have noticed. I think when Lowry and Ariza make it back on Tuesday it will help to mask some of his minor inefficiencies.
