Dray/Singleton

We have come this far, I'm going to ride it out.

Martin (6-7, 220 lbs.) averaged 17.3 points (including a season-high 37 points vs. Erie on March 6th), along with 4.5 rebounds per game in 31 games (27 starts) for the Iowa Energy. In 10 games for the NBA's Golden State Warriors this season, Martin averaged 9.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 27.6 minutes per game. He has appeared in 43 career NBA games (three starts), including 33 games with the Charlotte Bobcats last season.

Martin will be in uniform tonight in Houston (8:30 pm on CSN+, 106.7 The Fan, and 1370 Sports Radio in Baltimore) and will wear uniform #20.

Blatche has really been lighting it up here, really in a rhythm. We've been getting killed inside on the other end though, not much resistance at all.

I was surprised to see Fabulous starting, but I guess it's just a hairy Argentine thing.

Blatche has 31, but he's hogging it down the stretch here. Holding on to the ball too long.

Back to back possessions, back to back terrible shots by Blatche. Not playing team ball at all.

They're calling his number, the play is designed for him. And who's he going to pass it to? It's Miller, Boink, Ross and Singleton out there.

A season to forget for sure... and we thought last year was bad. Two seasons of amazingly sucky basketball.

The possibility has dawned on me that, much like assorted popular media franchises featuring cute but malevolent beasties of a diminutive physical stature, Earl Boykins might be capable of replicating himself....

Man, I feel like a big dummy to say it, 'grand scheme of things' n' all, but this one really had to hurt the guys. OK, so few of them will be back next year, but still. They played hard and did a lot of things right, tightened the D up in the second half. Good energy. I was enjoying things.

But, ugh. 9 more to go.

:lol: Yes, dating back to the EJ era. Still, the guys fought hard.
