Ryan Boatright

Too play at the level he did three days after a loved one is murdered shouldn't go unmentioned. A huge cross to bear for anyone. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

I don't think he made a basket in the second half. I also don't think he came out of the game in the second half. We played really well during the 3 minute stretch when Bazz took a rest after his second pass to the invisible man in the corner (I think the ball slipped out of his hand as he tried to do a backhand pass the first time - second time I couldn't tell what happened). Boat holding the fort running things enabled that rest to be a little longer, and it gave us a fresh Bazz down the stretch.

I couldn't be more impressed with how Boat has played this year. For a kid who's been so vocal about his NBA aspirations, his willingness to do what the team needs him to do - occasionally assert himself, but generally let Bazz run the show - has been incredible.

On that 2nd throwaway, Bazz was expecting Omar to cut to the basket from the corner - - would've been an easy 2. They cut to Bazz as soon as it ended and he was scolding Calhoun a bit.

Was he wearing something on his face under his eye? I couldn't tell what it was. I thought it may be a tribute to his friend.

It was AW, the initials of his cousin who died a few days back.

A Win Tinged With Sadness For Boatright

Nice piece by Jacobs.

That's extremely sad, Ryan is a tough kid. We've seen our fare share of terrible stories like this about friends and family members of our players, makes you realize how tough it is to grow up in the places a lot of these kids grow up in.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

That's some heartbreaking stuff right there. Sounds like he's doing as well as anyone possibly could. Hearts out to the family.

 

[BoatShow]

This kid is a god damned warrior. Tough as nails and a true husky through and through. I'm extremely proud that most of you probably associate me with Ryan through username proxy osmosis.

 

[superjohn]

Wish there was a way we could let Ryan know how much we appreciate him playing through this incredibly hard time in his life.

 

[huskyharry]

Terrible tragedy...hang in there, Boat...we are pulling for you.
God Bless

 

[David 76]

My heart goes out to Ryan. What a hard loss. What a strong Husky.

Kid was tough as nails. I am sure it was a tough night but he stayed strong and was an integral part of this win………..his point to the sky after his last FT late was indicative of where his thoughts drifted at that moment.
