Grind it Out!

Well we had our first call up of the year. Our point guard Trey Johnson received a call up from the Cleveland Caviliers. He spent 20 days on their roster and from what he said gained a ton of experience and more importantly he was on an NBA roster so he is in the system. That is all we are hoping for is to get into the NBA fraternity as it were. Once you break through the initial barrier of the NBA it is much easier to stay on someone's depth chart and receive more calls. But who knows how the final decision about who gets called up works. I must say that after watching a few NBA games over the last few weeks, some teams really look terrible and I know I can do what some of these clowns on these teams are doing. I cant get caught up in this game though I can only control how I play and hope that someone finally takes notice.
I know this update was short but I am really just at a loss for words right now trying to finish this season strong and get that phone call that I have been working for.

BULLSHIT!

Nobody is going to hand you a fucking thing these days.

You have to kick them in the balls, hit them over the head with a pick ax, kill their kittens, steal their LIFE ALERT buzzers, eat their last Astro Pop, sleep with their daughters, double dip in the dip, poke out the eyeballs of their grandma's/sisters/nieces 3 Stooges style, scratch your fingernails across the chalkboard while smuggling black tar heroin from across the border in a pink and orange balloon stuffed deep inside your man cavity and DEMAND TO BE NOTICED!!!.

DEMAND it.
Don't WAIT for it.

WAITING is for Ryan Reynolds (although he does get to sleep with Scarlet Johansen so...)...

"Hope to get noticed..."... you're kidding right? You should know better.

As a matter of fact, who is this fucking agent/manager of yours? Shouldn't he be the one telling you this shit? (not the part about Scarlet, the other stuff...)

?

That's all I got...

MISSION STATEMENT for NICK LEWIS via DUSTIN LANE...

Last game of the season...

Time to put it all out there...
To leave it all on the court. Not just your game, but your soul, your desire, your will to be the best player on the court at the beginning of the game...at the end of the game.

The time is now... To leave a quart of blood on the quart... Yours & Theirs...

The time to hesitate is through... (yes, I know that's from a song by THE DOORS, so what...)...

Time to play the game as if it is the last game you will ever play.

Engrave it on your brain...
This is the last game...
This is the last game...
This is the last game...
This is the last game...
This is the last game...
This is the last game...
This is the last game...I will ever play...

FELL IT...

Focus.
Tunnel Vision...
Nothing to lose...

Their is no outside world...
No Problems...
No other People...

JUST THE GAME.
48 Minutes...

Take over The Game like your life depends on it. Make your life depend on it and don't let up.

WAR. BATTLE. FIGHT. KILL... No Sympathy.

MAKE THEM KNOW/BELIEVE/WANT TO BE...YOU!!!

How would you play if you had nothing to lose? How would you play if you had EVERYTHING to lose?

There it is.

STOP...Focus...
LISTEN TO THE GAME...
FEEL IT...
BELIEVE IN IT...

NOW GO OUT THERE AND DO IT!

NOW!!!
