Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 5212534, member: 181"] Tell us you don't know how to provide encouragement without telling us you don't know how to provide encouragement. Then look for everybody here who put Kam Jones's 0-5 from three in the forefront. He did. The writing errors make it more difficult to read, but the above sentence is what's most valuable in your post. Until the post-season last year, Stewart would be hesitant & tentative when he came in to support the lead players before mop up time. And then he'd pass the ball to somebody else, even when it seemed as though he could or ought to do more. But he didn't turn it over. And he contributed more during Tournament time. Getting something similar from Mahaney last night was helpful toward Hass being there for what we needed from him, when we needed it, as the game wound down. JStew did the same for Alex and Liam. AND we all were wowed by the putback. From a different set of expectations after his BE Player of the Week [I]calibre[/I] performance in his two prior games, Tarris could be said to have done similarly. Elsewhere, other posters recognized Ball's multiple contributions last night on an off-night shooting from deep. I expect Liam to draw fouls and be awarded free throws in his next games. I'll certainly bring cheering for it. The team is still building, as it must be. It's tempting for the Negative Nancies to point out flaws and recruit followers, as though it's their job, and we'd be worse off without their 'expertise.' In truth, they either can't help themselves, or prefer not to because their their ambitions lie elsewhere. Go Huskies. [/QUOTE]
