    Dude might have been laughing at a bad call by the ref's or something. Doesn't mean he thinks losing is funny.

    I was watching the game on League Pass (Toronto's feed) and he wasn't just smiling he was laughing. The Raptors had just made another easy bucket and they cut to the Rocket's bench and he was laughing trying to cover himself with the towel.

    That being said, it's not that big of a deal. It's one game. However, it's not the attitude I want one of my best players to have. He should be focused and preparing for the next game. He doesn't have enough "hunger" in his game, that's why he isn't that good. You would never see a driven player like Kobe, for example, acting like this in a blowout loss.

    :confused: Have you watched him this year? He has the occassional lackadaisical game (like Bynum), but he is just as good as Bynum at equal age...on a bad team with selfish players. And he's a top passer for a center, which makes his potential greater than Bynum's.

    He leads the league in offensive rebounds. He's 4th overall, and 3rd per 48 minutes, behind Camby and Howard.

    That's no bust.

    I think people are just looking for reasons to support thier dislike for him.

    It could be sarcastically laughing at no call or an easy dunk. Dumb to take this out of context.

    Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

    So none of you ever crack a smile during a bad day of work when your co-worker cracks a joke or something?

    Although it looks bad you cant really judge this pic without context. All we know he could of been laughing at a bogus call he thought was ridiculous.

    basketball shouldn't be WORK for true ballers.

    it should be a GAME to true ballers. true ballers "do work" and dedicate time, effort, and HEART.


    but they don't go to work, like its a job or something.


    People who go to work at jobs are just whiling away time to make a paycheck... While doing some stuff for a business so they keep cash flows coming in. They don't have any emotional investment with their job usually


    Kevin Martin is great for scoring, its his job. But he doesn't have the fire and passion you want from your top scorer. NOT A TRUE BALLER

    Really? Nothing can be funny and everything has to be all serious if you're losing a basketball game? This is absolutely not news.

    This. Maybe all that losing all these years have made some fans really picky with every little thing. Don't blame this loss on him too, it was a team loss.

    still doesn't hide the fact that Kevin Martin is a sub-par defender, cannot create his own shot, doesn't draw double teams, and is basically a ZERO for this team when his shot isn't falling at a high rate.

    The caption should be

    "And they are trying to trade me! Probably doing me a favor."
