    With tonight as a starter he's at 10.8pts on 44.9%/45.5%/64.7%, 4.7rebs, 1.2ast, 0.8blks, 1.3stls, 0.8tovs in 27mpg. Extremely small sample size being what it is, those are solid roleplayer numbers.

    Consistency is king when it comes to roleplayers. 21 and 13 is a fantastic night, but if he's sprinkling 3 point, 20% stinkers in there it's pretty hard to make a case for him to be on the floor.

    I was encouraged ... nay! heartened by what I saw tonight. Now he needs to follow this up with a 12 point outing 5 or 6 boards on 45%+ shooting and near 40% from the arc, and good defense.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Travis took a lot of flack for having one great game out of three. But his 33% great game rate wasn't that bad compaired to Martell's 10%.

    To go one step further, Travis had a 20% great game rate against good teams, as opposed to Martell's 3%.

    I will not enter the Martell Badwaggon until that number rises significantly.

    That's a nice looking train, somebody did a good job. Although you have to wonder what was in those barrels originally, and how well they cleaned them out.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Webster is just bizarre. He'll miss 6 shots in a row, then hit three in a row. Then the next shot he takes won't even hit the rim or backboard. Tonight, when he was hitting every 3-pointer he took, he calmly stepped up to the line and missed two free throws in a row.

    Tomorrow he'll probably throw a ball at the side of his house and miss everything.

    Say what you want to about him as a player, but he is a great person. As he left tonight with his family, he stuck around and signed autographs for every single fan in the loading dock.

    I didn't see the game, but it's good to hear about Martell having a good game even though it's against the crappy Wolves. I want the guy to play well since we need him and I've been in his corner, but we need to see more of this.. and against better teams. C'mon Webster!

    Big Props to Webster for his effort last night. I know I slam on him because of what he hasn't done, but when he does something right he deserves some props.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Baby steps. It's hard to know where the "real" Martell Webster will eventually fall on the production continuum, but it's great to know that he's still capable of getting us all a bit excited :)

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    There are certain players that if you play them 4 quarters, one of the quarters they will get extremely hot and make up for what they did the rest of the game, even if they threw up a doughnut for the rest of it. When Martell is on, he is all over it that is for sure. Wax-On, Wax-Off!

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    I'm a fan of Webster and have defended him in the past. I'm happy to see him have a nice game. I think he needs starter mins to get in rhythm. Consistency has been a problem so hopefully he'll be a lot more consistent.

    Great Game By Webster

    Someone may have posted it already, but Webster really stepped up last night and showed and all-around game that we had not seen all season.

    Very promising if he can continue to play well and take some defensive pressure off of Roy by guarding the opposing SF.

    It was a nice time. Lets just hope he didn't hurt himself too bad padding stats in garbage time.

    Re: Great Game By Webster

    I don't want to diminish what he did last night, considering the competition and his history of inconsistency, because ultimately this team needs a productive and efficient Martell if they want to have any kind of success this year. Hopefully this was the "get well game" he needed and we'll see a rejuvenated Webster, but as always I need to see this kind of game more than once a season, and in general he's got to cut the games where he goes 0-5 from the floor while also racking up dumb fouls left and right.

    Maybe the real problem is that he's better being an outlet guy (a fourth option as it were) in a starting unit versus a first or second option off the bench, where he seems to press too much and can't seem to settle himself down and play compactly and within himself.

    Here's to hoping last night was less fluke and more norm.
