Back on Track

Well after a shacky stretch we got back to our winning ways out here in the cold midwest. We were able to redeem ourselves against Ft. Wayne who had been using us as a whipping boy in our last 3 games against them. We went in there and laid the smack down and beat them by 25. That then catapulted us back home to get a win against Sioux Falls in overtime which was rediculous because we were up by 25 at the half and won by 3 in ot. But that is pro basketball no lead is big enough I guess. We had also beat Bakersfield which was a pivot pass, tear ass, first one to a hundred wins type game which I am glad to say we are able to run pretty well. I guess we could definately be considered a running team but we can slow it down and grind it out when we need to, but sometimes we forget that part and we turn into a head down dribble team. At this level you have to be able to use teammates to create for yourself. Guys are quick enough in the league to guard in the half court one on one pretty well. When you run down against a set defense you must be able to run an offense all the way through to make a team play defense for a little while to expose the leaks in the D.
Also this last week our allocated point guard from the Bulls, JamesOn Curry, was called back to Chicago. It has been interesting thus far without him because he was our pg and we hadnt used any other guys at that position so when we played Tulsa we struggled a bit from the point guard position. This was mainly because our guard had not had many reps while JamesOn was here. That is a tough part of this league, the guys that come down take a lot of minutes and when they leave again there can be a void left. But we have had a great week of practice and are ready for the LA d-fenders tomorrow night (12/20). I get to exact a little revenge against LA which was the team I played for at the end of the season last year. (sorry I am not there again d&s you were loyal fans for sure or maybe you were just using me for my Lakers tix)
I am also glad to report that Iowa is turning out to be a pretty cool place. There has been snow on the ground for about 2 weeks but the weather has been nice. Sunny pretty much everyday, but I can say it is a trip since I havent lived with snow for a long time. The thing that sucks is every now and then we get a crazy ice storm which can be a little scary. Roads get shut down and the cities sleeps for a day or so.
Well my best wishes go out to everyone out there reading this. I hope evryone travels safe and has a great Christmas and everyone enjoys friends and family. We have a game Xmas day so you all better be checking the internet for details while you open your presents and enjoy a good cup of hot chocolate. Love to all!!!
