I like Martin because he takes away their post position. I think Brandon BAss played Lebron very well last year because he was able to take away that position but his lack of foot speed hurt him guarding Bron off the dribble. I do believe Kmart is a better defender than Bass and is able to handle them off the dribble more. NO one can completely stop them but he can cause trouble.

I don't think his D was overrated, I just think his knee was hurting and we never saw the real Ronnie Brewer.

Can we really include Camby in the equation?

Camby on Lebron/Durant?

I meant that Camby has gotten zero run since he got here and most likely will not play but who knows. I wish he was playing, I think if he was healthy it would be huge for this team.

I think the reason Kenyon played is because Camby played the night before. Woodson probably doesn't want to play him on back to backs.

While Camby and Sheed were out we had no defensive big men outside of Tyson. I'm still hoping that K-Mart will be a piece that propels the team defense back to where it was at the start of the season. Melo also has to go back to the defensive effort he was showing back then, and pull back the number of shots he's taking.

Really liked what I saw from K-Mart- hope we can build on it.

Over the last few games, I noticed when KMart was on the bench and the guys on the floor would come out of the game after a a time out he would get into peoples faces. I'm not talking just saying things as they walked by but literally stop them in their tracks, get in their way and literally be against them as he spoke down to them (he's a tall guy). It was some drill Sargent looking stuff...definitely too close for comfort. I saw him do it to Felton and JR. But he was half smiling as he spoke so I couldn't tell if he was trying to motivate them or if he was tearing them a new one. It was intimidating just watching lol.

When people said he was intense...they really weren't kidding. I'm very curious what he's saying to these guys but I don't expect him to be on a "mic'd up" segment anytime soon. Anyone else notice this?

That's Kmart's reputation, it rubs some players the wrong way but I'm all for it. There are guys on this squad who play at times like they're in their own little world, not paying attention to what is happening around them on the court. Its good to have someone like Kmart on the team to snap them out of it.
