i think by far, our worse game this season was vs the MAGIC...

wat on earth did the NETS do? wat was there answers for McGrady and company?

How on earth did McGrady shoot 4-20? the Nets sure did have lotta guys in double-figures

K-Mart is a very good defender (who I think is getting better), particularly against athletic guys like T Mac. He is a good enough athlete to stay with him on the perimeter and he is strong enough that T Mac can't overpower him. K-Mart shut Reef down as well and he usually does a good job against Antoine Walker and the other good swingmen. K-Mart won't always shut those guys down but he will usually make them earn their paychecks.

Just thinking about something (upon hearing that last night) -

how often is it that TMac is forced to play someone that is as tall as him? Think about it - There aren't very many athletic 3's that have the combination of strength and height to stay with him - probably one of them few times he really gets challenged in that way.

As long as he is (6-9, longer wingspan), he can usually just shoot over whoever guards him, or at least post them up - KMart provides a look that he doesn't see often...

i remember last year, Kmart hit him really hard and the two were about to go at it...

physically, theres nothing TMAC could do....

KMART might be the answer to players like TMAC.

only if he was on the hawks and not the nets
