Playing without their 2 best and most experienced players was not an easy thing for Sacramento Kings.Small-forward Ron Artest is facing a 7 games suspension while point guard Mike Bibby injured his thumb days before the regular season.

“It’s been a different experience,” said Martin, who averaged 25.3 points and hit 20 of 48 shots in the first three games.”We all three play off each other, because no team can try to take out one of us. If you take out one of us, then you’ve got two other weapons that will put points up on you in a hurry. But right now, they’re both out, and you can see it.”It’s another growing experience for him. They’re not talking about Ron or Mike in that (opposing) locker room cause they are talking about Kevin Martin” coach Reggie Theus said.

Martin signed a 5 year $55 millions contract extension with Kings this summer.
