the actual saga

ok... about this saga thing i've been talking about. it's really not a saga at all. it's basketball. basketball season (or more accurately, my basketball season) started last wednesday night and to say i was excited would be like saying it's a little warm on the sun. i've been waiting months for a regular game of basketball and now it's back!

so i think i might keep a regular posting of how the games go as well as my performance so i can see where i need improvement (which, i'm guessing in most cases will be nowhere). so last week... week 1 if you will, i played 3 games. i won the first one and we lost the other two. the reason i say that is that i shot the lights out of the first game. we were down by a lot near the half-way point and i just decided to take over and we came back and won - in fact we almost doubled their score by the end.

in the next two games, i had some feelings of guilt for being a bit of a ball hog/show-off so i decided to include my team more actively. and although i realized that they were struggling offensively, i continued to give them the ball so it's definitely partially my fault we lost. i had a significant height advantage over my defender in both games and didn't take full advantage. so... in summary:

Offense: i ruled! one of my best offensive performances ever. EVER!
Defense: adequate, but could have been stronger. had a height advantage but didn't capitalize on it. only 1 block and i don't think i had any steals.
Rebounds: i did an ok rebounding job - considering it was the first week.

Record: 1 win, 2 losses (disappointing, but very early in the season)

it was a very good way to end my 30th year of life. made turning 31 much easier.
