    Wow that was fast.

    Thanks Clutch

    Martin would be a terrific if he was the secondary go-to-guy.

    Kevin Martin is the king of cherry picking. Most people look at the basket and tries to rebound when a shot goes off, Martin jets the other way to cherry pick.

    WHO CARES. WE SCORE.

    When Martin Cherry Picks, either a defender has to follow him on D, or its a easy basket for us.

    Wanting to score easy points is a bad thing?

    I swear, CF's always has something to complain about even when we win.

    Martin can't rebound anyway. He'd be a detriment to the other players that are in there. Jordan Hill might trip on him or something...

    Players play their roles, Martin's role is to be the offense. That's pretty much it.

    You are almost as fast as Kevin Martin on the break, Clutch ;).

    May I ask what software you use to edit/cut the videos?

    Quick question:

    Martin once again only scored 2 points in the fourth quarter. Another "disappearing act". Although I am coming around to your argument on "high leverage" situations, is there any doubt that his 38 points in the first 3 quarters was a key factor in the blowout? If so, in a close game where he pulls another "disappearing act" in the fourth, isn't his contributions in the first 3/4 of the game just as valuable in getting us to the close game in the first place? Does he deserve the flack for his inability to create for himself and others in "high leverage" situations?

    Martin's hot shooting was of course a big factor, as was the play of Brad Miller, Shane Battier, and some others to a lesser degree. If its already a blowout in the 4th quarter, than the last 5 minutes are akin to garbage time -- so I wouldn't call it "high leverage". I don't care if Martin isn't scoring when we're up 15-20 points late in the 4th. I care if if he isn't scoring when the result of the game is in the balance. Those are when the possessions are most important -- the excuse "he already did his job in the first 3 quarters" is not acceptable.

    Let's just admit it, getting to the line that much and scoring like that, Martin is evil...

    if he'd just hang around the top of the key on rebounds, he'd probably get 4 or 5 a game, what we really need is our guards in set spots on boards for the people in the middle to try and tip rebounds they can't get.
