Laker fan with a smack for the 15th man :lol
considering you said you didnt know he was in the league about 20 times before the Spurs signed him I find your op to be untrustworthy and an act of shitty trolling tbh.
Why does everybody reply to this guy? We all know he's a troll... Amazing y'all still respond to him
the entire forum is trolls faggot
You wouldn't know based off the box score that Draymond Green almost lost the game for the Warriors against the 76ers but hey Draymond Green almost had a triple double, so he must've been damn good that game!Quote:

:lol bitter Kobe fan.
op is the Asian dude who changed jerseys midgame:lol
9 games: he is shooting 34%/41% from 3pt (on 2 attempts)..
I have no doubt youre pouring over Spurs box scores, and posting on Spurs sites. Worried some?Quote:

I do believe he's put in effort, but why ppl give this guy a pass and hate on Kyle is just probably agenda driven.
I know he's a troll and don't really care to read anything he posts. That said Martin was a disappointment for a guy who is a scorer.Quote:

I still don't understand why Butler was cut instead of Bonner. I'm not happy at all with that move. Nothing against Martin, as this is a thread about him, but I just can't ever support Butler being cut over Bonner. Butler won me over big time with every little intangible that he bought both on and off the court, and the Spurs still cut him :(.Quote:

It appears they were looking for more shooters. Again though, why keep Bonner? It's not like he brings anything more to the table than Butler did.Quote:

They could have even cut Simmons for him if they didn't think J. Simms would be of any use in the playoffs. I'm kind of glad Simmons wasn't cut though as I still really like him. I hope Simmons can make it and improve on all his flaws. I liked what he did last game against OKC and it gives me a bit of hope for his future and makes me feel that he still has upside.
I thought Martin was pretty solid outside of the last two games imo. Tried too hard against the Thunder, and didn't have a great shooting night against Memphis. His defense isn't great, but it has been serviceable so far. Like his ability to get to the free throw line on cheap fouls. Needs to continue to find his role with more minutes until the end of the season, but think he will be fine in a 15 minute a game role in the playoffs in certain matchups. Not afraid too shot, which I also like about him.
My concern is he didn't step up against the the Thunder. But I do agree with you, unlike Green and Anderson, he's unafraid to take the 3.Quote:

Martin is shooting 41% from 3 land. Just like with Danny, he's almost never going to shoot 2-5 for a game. Shooters tend to be streaky, some more than others.
Martin has the ability to score in volume, but I'd sa needs him to play 25 mpg, then their screwed. Give him 12 to 15mpg based on his scoring or spurs scoring and call it a day. He's been no worse than green or patty
Where are you getting the 41%? Is that for a certain time period?Quote:

Other then 2013 with OKC at .426, he hasn't sniffed 40% since 2008-09 with Sacramento.
His 2 point shooting is even worse. Since he doesn't really pass, rebound or play much D I don't see what the f the purpose of this pickup was.
Experiment over.
