Kenyon Martin was ejected early in the third quarter Monday night for shoving Golden State's Adonal Foyle, his second technical foul of the night.At least he kept his pants on.
Martin received his first technical midway through the second quarter for throwing his mouthpiece in the air after being called for a foul. Martin was tossed with just over 10 minutes left in the third when he lightly shoved Foyle to the floor after scoring a layup.
Martin yelled at official Rodney Mott for a few seconds, then ripped off his jersey and tossed it to the crowd as he left the floor. Martin also tore off the tank top he was wearing under his jersey and disgustedly threw that into the crowd.
K-Mart's decision to leave NJ for more contract money in Denver was, IMHO, a mistake. The NJ market is much larger and more visible. Was NJ's offer that bad? You can only wear one pair of shoes at a time so how much money is enough? If you do want money, playing in NJ will get you more and better exposure and endorsements than playing in Denver. Either way, it makes sense to stay. K.Martin left NJ for emotional pride. He was "disrespected" by not getting a generous offer - and early on in the Season. Since BB is a business and that's a stupid reason to leave.
Until recently, Denevr missing the playoffs was a possibility. Now that Denver is playing very well, he'll at least appear in the playoffs. In NJ there was no doubt they'd be in contention.
So Denver will be seeing San Antonio which is the 2nd seed but Denver's probably going to make it to 6th place and play 3rd seeded Seattle on the road.
