Wow, he was almost inexistent last year, and now, he's really showing it.
I can't wait for the nets home game against miami on friday.

Martin is having a very good stretch, but he is not their best scorer. Artest is.
Meh, I would disagree. In the first five games, Artest has tried to win games by himself on offense and has shot an abysmal .317FG shooting everywhere on the court instead of posting up where he is deadly. Martin meanwhile is shooting .524 and has two thirty point games against two defensive powerhouses in Detroit and Chicago and can score catch and shoot, driving getting fouled or scoring, or off balance shots. Dude's upside is even bigger than I imagined.

I'm talking about their abilties to score. Artest can create his own shot much better than Martin, he has just as much range, and he's stronger, therefore he can finish in traffic more. Martin is doing very well no doubt, but he is certainly not a better scorer than Artest. Percentages are one thing. Iverson's percentages are horrible sometimes, but he is still considered one of the premier scorers in the league. Besides, it's 5 games. I'm sure the percentages will even up a bit as the season progresses.
I'm watching the Dallas/Phoenix game right now, and the Mavericks just got totally screwed. Terry was on his way to a lay up, and one of the Suns jumped into him causing Terry to land on his back and elbow. No foul was called (which would have led to 2 free throws). A fan at Phoenix then blew a whistle and the players stopped moving. Then the refs signaled no foul (while Suns had the rebound) and they proceeded to run a fast break since most the players stopped. Anthony Johnson then complaned to the refs and got a technical when he had every right to complain (no foul call and a Phoenix fan's whistle stopping the defense). Nash then hit the technical and then a 3 from the inbounds pass.
In summary:
Terry should have gotten 2 free throws
Suns shouldn't have got 1 free throw and ball which led to a 3 pointer
Therefore, the refs and Phoenix's fan caused a 6 point swing in the game bring Phoenix within 4 points. Bullshit! 😠

Man, I really wish I was watched that game.
