Re: Bobbitt, other UL thoughts

[jon breiner]

Richard, I told Mike Ryan at the half, that his whole facial expression
changed after he made the 2 FT's.  It was weird because I normally do not
notice things like that, or perhaps it was just that noticeable, but he then
stole a ball on defense and hit the 3 3's within a few minutes.

The interesting thing (if someone watches the tape and can try to verify
this) is that his first 3 bricks from 3 point land were all different shots.
He was not completely set on the first, he fired a low line drive on the
second.  But when he started hitting, his whole body language changed and
his shots looked the same (and much more technically sound).

He is just such an all or nothing player.  He can score no points and give
up 25 in 30 minutes of playing time, or give up 10 and score 30.  The former
guarantees a loss and the later guarantees the win!  :)

Here's hoping he can be  the later more often now versus the two times he
has so far this year!
