it is frank's fault for not using the regular season to build the young players' confidence...but in this case, boki is not exactly a rookie and was given playing time when he played well in the regular season.

frank should have let the young players play through mistakes in the regular season like what veteran coaches tend to do knowing it will pay dividends later in upping the young players' confidence and experience while keeping your veterans fresh but the playoffs doesn't give you the luxury of 82 games to do that...

still, players should know that no one and no situation can get you down if you don't allow them to...take mikki's case, he has always believed he can play in this league and never lost that confidence while playing in the d-league and overseas and garbage minutes in numerous nba teams and continued to play and work hard so he was ready when the opportunity presented itself.
