Game #35: Kings at Pacers
Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers, Jan 3, 2009 3:00 PM PST
We have an early one today, tipping at 3PM PST. Pacers also played last night, with Jarrett Jack killing the Knicks at the buzzer. Troy Murphy has been owning the boards, Marquis Daniels has a wayback machine, and T.J. Ford is quick as spit. Fun!
Go Kings.

Go Kings
Lets play well from the begininng and not get down double digits and try to catch up. What is the over under on how many times Ford blows past Beno?
by Beagle12 on Jan 3, 2009 2:25 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
He is actually not starting and I heard his back is giving him trouble
So if he’s not playing the over under is at 3 IMO
Go Kings!!

Strange. League Pass anouncers are Jerry and Peaches
They usually use the home team’s crew. Maybe not being broadcast in Indy?

Hate to be negative
but if Martin was clutch as hell, he would’ve made one of those last three shots. The threes are one thing, but to fake a three on the last one, get past the defender for a two that they were probably willing to concede, and miss the layup…that is the opposite of clutch. What’s the opposite of “ice water in your veins”? He scored alot of points (nice! very much needed) and wasn’t too underconditioned until the last 30 seconds, then the rust becomes an excuse? I just think it’s a sample of how Martin is not the player to carry this team anywhere. Sorry.
by busybe on Jan 3, 2009 5:53 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
That may be too premature
Kevin is really just starting to take the key shots in the clutch, to be the man in crunch time. Before he wouldn;t even take the shots or not much. Now he is taking them and not making a lot. You have to take them to make them, and he’s too good of a player not to figure it out eventually. He just needs a few gamewinners to know how it feels.

I agree with you both.
The King’s are much better with him right now, and he may “learn” to have “icewater”. I guess I just have a feeling/see a pattern otherwise.
Nothing would make me happier than for him to turn into a legit first option/clutch/all around stud for a thriving Kings team.

by coolcatreportdotcom on Jan 3, 2009 10:43 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I agree he has much to learn
Ijust wanted to give a couple examples about how he has been working on being dependable in the clutch. The San Antonio shot was as much skill as it was luck so you probably wouldn’t even count that. One shot I remember him taking at the end of the game that put it away was one in Chicago a couple of seasons back. It was during the early roadtrip we always take to start the season. I couldn’t find the video for that.
Also remember, Martin may have been the most effective player in our team for a couple years now but he has never been the first option at the clutch (or even during the games). First it was Bibby, and last year it was Artest. So him not being able to prove himself in the clutch is not really his fault or his inability to get it done. He just hasn’t had the chance
by eduardo_m7 on Jan 3, 2009 11:01 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I'd only disagree
In that despite what you say about not being the first option being true, he has still had quite a few opportunities that he hasn’t been able to capitalize on. But he has a lot of opportunities to come in the future.

I honestly don't recall those opportunities
Maybe you can refresh my memory with some concrete examples, if you don’t remember either I’ll can easily just take word for it.
He will have opportunities in the future and I’m sure we all hope he’s able to capitalize in some of them. I wouldn’t necessarily think he’s less of a player if he doesn’t because of what he’s able to do for the game overall
by eduardo_m7 on Jan 3, 2009 11:41 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
The last 2-3 games
for starters.
Last year he got to take a game winner early in the season against Cleveland and missed it. There were a few other opportunities that he didn’t cash in on or some strong game performances that included weak fourth-quarter performances. Sorry, I don’t have a specific list. Naturally his two big successes are the Spurs game and the coast to coast score last year.

So you are counting the last 3 games
when he just came back from an injury that prevented him from playing 10+ games and that probably limited his ability to do anything basket related??
I’m sure he had some weak performances in the past in the 4th quarter like any other player has had. Anyways, I think we both have our own position and are probably not gonna change it. Let’s just hope that in the future he helps the team win some games and leave it at that
by eduardo_m7 on Jan 4, 2009 12:22 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Those are just the most recent examples
and certainly you have to say he has done very well since his return outside of finishing poorly.
Frankly, you could go to 82games, look up the play-by-plays and compare his record in the 4th Q vs. his record in the first three Qs since he became a starter and see how he did in close games.
His free throw shooting has been an asset generally in the past when we actually had some leads to protect. He just has not proven to be a go-to guy when you need a bucket at crunch time.

Kevin isn't our problem...
He is a bona fide NBA player. He might become a clutch player given time and chance. He is going to get a lot of chances this year being the #1 option. We need to see him miss a helava lot more clutch shots to put him into Peja status. For now, he is the scoring machine we need. Even though we didnt win tonight, it was at least competitive. When was the last time we could say that? I like how the team plays with Martin on the floor, but the bottom line is the Kings have several roster moves to go before this team is a playoff team. Martin will either be the Clutch All Star, or he will be a Great Scorer. Either way, he is Relevant, which is more than I can say about the rest of the entire team. Kevin is the only one who deserves mention on an All Star Ballot. The rest of the Kings players are Rookies and Scrubs, PERIOD.

Interesting
I did go to 82games.com and looked up their clutchtime statistics for last season (not sure there’s any point in looking up this season, since Martin has played relatively little).
Looks to me like Martin was 23rd in production over 48 minutes per game, unless I’m reading it incorrectly.
http://www.82games.com/CSORT11.HTM
Interesting note on that page:
For these stats “Clutch” is defined as:
4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points
Someday, you should quit cherrypicking stats to back up your argument.

As I pointed out earlier
Kevin’s free throw shooting when the team is ahead and he is fouled help cherry pick your argument.
This argument was already had when Ziller posted the erroneous Myth article that was never corrected, even though the glaring errors in it were pointed out. Reread.
If you think Kevin Martin is a great performer in the clutch, I am not going to persuade you otherwise.

So
Kevin Martin:
- 6th in the league in points per game.
- 23rd in clutch time production.
I think you’ve made the point quite well. His production in crunch time is below his overall production.
But, as I’ve said, hope is not lost. The Kings have put a lot of their future into the development of Kevin Martin and they are going to give him every chance to succeed.
