Marvin Williams' home fires yearning
Posted Feb 18, 2006
The whispers that followed about Marvin Williams being a disappointment — though only from an ignorant few who haven't grasped the role he's being asked to play on a Hawks team that's clawed its way to a 16-34 record — barely pierced Williams' even-keeled mental armor. The sting, of course, was tempered by the knowledge that if he wouldn't be in Houston this weekend he'd be in Bremerton, a sleepy Navy town that serves as his one refuge from the world.
