    As much as Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin's left knee is bothering him, his pride makes it more painful to talk about it. "It's hard to talk about it because I'm not the one to make excuses for myself," Martin said Tuesday.

    A frustrating playoff series against San Antonio, in which the Nuggets trail 3-1, has brought to a head season-long angst Martin has dealt with because of a cranky knee. Martin said he would have arthroscopic surgery on his knee after the season.

    it's extremely difficult for kmart to talk about how he was sick when the spurs beat the nets in the finals two years ago. he's, literally, sick of the spurs.

    if he hates talking about it so much, why does he do it?

    ESPN Article from October 2003
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"We proved that last year," Martin said. "We won two games (in the
    Finals). It's unfortunate that somebody had to get the flu (Martin
    sleepwalked through the last two games after catching it, going
    3-for-21 from the floor in Game 6). We just came up a little short.
    With the pieces we have this year, with our experience of making it,
    hopefully that'll take us over that hump." </div>
