  Been reading this board.  Our three defenders held Creighton to their lowest point total of the year  (59)  with the two worst and laziest defenders, "Mak and Stokes" on the floor with them.  Very impressive that three guys can play great team defense in spite of Stokes and Mak.  .  And that was great team defense last night. 

More likely this board just likes to throw players under the bus to provide additional motivation.  Seems to be working for Mak and Stokes.  Good job posters.

It's not just this board.

Unless I'm blind there isn't a single post on this board that questioned Mak's or Kam's defense, literally not a single one. Cat97, who clearly has a personal stake in defending Mak, can't argue against the observation that Mak was bad offensively last night so it's easier to lash out at this board.
How bout the post I pasted below from this thread.  One of a number just in this thread.  (This was from the OU game where his hedge on ball screens helped us get 12 turnovers from Young.)   And I do liike to point out errors by posters who lash out at players.
Mawien did not handle Creightons double teams last night.  Caused him to make three turnovers.  That's what happend.  Meanwhile, he was part of the team defense that held Creighton to a season low. 

Quote from this thread:   There was a possession where he lost his man 3 times in the paint, fouled him and the OU guy got called for a travel. He fouls on box outs a lot. He is terrible.

So you took posts from a couple of weeks ago to indict "this board" about Friday night? Being good on defense the last game doesn't erase what he did, actually didn't do, during past games. We're all glad he's improving, hopefully he can start to show consistent effort.

Quite clearly after the first 10 minutes we had the return of Bad Mak, but I don't want to talk about that. Stockard made Bad Mak look like Anthony Davis, goodness it was bad. I'm not sure what took oscar so long to put Wainwright in at the 5 but once he figured it out we were able to pull away.

He's getting better at defense, but dear god he is atrocious at receiving passes down on the block, it's like he is incapable of boxing out and then moving to the ball when it's just a bit off a good pass. At least 3 times that happened. He holds his position like if he leaves it he will be trucked over.

He had a couple of atrocious switches on D that led to wide open 3s and dunks. Probably accounted for like half of UMBC's points. But was pretty excellent at helping at the rim.

I'll agree with that, I was thinking more of his rim protecting, he actually kinda plays that will zeal, which is refreshing.

It's astounding how much worse the defense gets when Stockard enters the game.  We're in the post-season tournament after an entire season of play and can't sub out Mawein(!) without taking a big dropoff in defense.

we didn't take much of a hit when Wainright replaced him. oscar was actually subbing Mawien on offense only for a while, (LOL @ that, too).

UMBC's only players over 6-6 were basically wings so it was not a game for Stockard to be effective (not that many are)

The lineup with wainright was far and away our best one. The subbing of Mak on offense was lol because the guards simply refused to pass him the ball down the stretch.

well to be fair every time they tried after the first 10 minutes it was an automatic turnover, either because of a bad pass, bad catch, or double.

Mawien 11 points on 4 for 7 from the field.  0 turnovers  6 rebounds and two blocks.  Out of position on one pick and roll.  The other break down was a double screen and Diarras man got free rolling to the goal.
Didn't catch entry passes from our guards that were thrown three feet away from him.  Hard to understand why he didn't get charged for the turnovers on those entry passes. 

Hope those complaining about Mawien are scouting replacements.

My guy/gal cat97 is consistent, come in and complain that Mak was mentioned in non glowing ways but avoids the actual critique leveled.

He did hit two huge FTs in the second half.
