    I'll save it until he plays well consistently. He just proved what we already know, decent starting, VERY streaky, can't come off the bench.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    He has always been my favorite player, and recently I have been talking about how bad he has been playing, and I know he needs to show a lot more consistency, but...

    MARTELL WEBSTER IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "All Aboooooaaarrrddd" reminds me of RG's old proposed train to take Damon Stoudamire out of the city and off the team.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    I'm just joking. I just crack up that people on here will now say he should have been starting all along! Say he should be an all-star. People on here can be as crazy positive as they can be crazy negative. Anyway, good game Marty!

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    He had a terrific game, but even when it's not as god I want to see him start and get some burn. He's shown great defense, rebounding, and athleticism at may points this season, and it looks like just a little confidence can make a big difference. It's be great, too, if we knew that he could sometimes make up for poor rebounding out of the front court (rare, but there was Atlanta).

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Well, lot of posters, myself included, have been saying Martell should have been starting all along, all along. Or if coach must stick to the 3 pg unit, Rudy. A lot of us commented long ago Martell plays better as a starter. Roy must play his proper position, SG to maximize his effectiveness. Martell is our best (only) SF at the moment. Play him. Establish the post. These things are elementary. I didn't get to see the game. Sorry I missed this show!! :cheers:

    Great game for Webs. The post-game interview also shows he's a class act.

    I wish him consistent success going forward.

    Blake was dominant. The stats don't show how dominating he was.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    He's not a star by any means, but there should have been no question that he should be starting even before tonight performance. Just like how Oden seems to dominate defensively when you start getting him involved in the offense. Martell is night and day when he has to come off the bench, the kid needs confidence more than anything and when he has it he's as valuable a role-player as we have to play next to our big talents. Perimeter defense, spreads the floor, and looks to help on the glass is what we need at the 3 and he brings all of it when his heads right.

    I want to love Webs, but I don't want to be burned again. He's never been consistent, so I'll reserve judgment for now. Good game though.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Goes to show if he gets time on the floor he can produce. It's hard for any player in the NBA to produce when your minutes aren't consistent. No doubt he has struggled as of late but when he gets playing time we are a better team.

    Which means Miller must be traded. He just doesn't fit here.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Or we could deal Blake. If the coach and GM were fully confident in Blake's abilities, they'd have never picked up Miller.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    They only picked up Miller because they felt they had to do something with that money. They never intended to start Miller over Blake. In fact, Nate told Andre as much which is fine BUT now that Outlaw is gone, we need another scorer on our bench and Miller is probably our best piece to net one with.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    In fact? We really don't know. Everything I've seen was more along the line that Miller was told he'd have to compete for the starter's job, and that nothing would be given.

    Right now the only train Martell deserves, looks like this:
    [​IMG]

    Don't get me wrong, it was nice to see that he has a pulse and the rumors of his death were slightly exaggerated, but let's see him average 45% from the floor, 38% from three and no more than one boneheaded play per game for 5 or 6 in a row before we upgrade him to a full choo-choo.
