Rollin'

Someone asked me if I was enjoying my time here in Taranto. They asked me right after we just won another Euroleague game at home by 14 in front of a crowd of 2800 people, and I had 4 3-pointers in the game (which puts me temporarily in first place in the league in 3-pt. FG made), so my answer was, "Yeah, it's a blast!"

Now, don't ask me that question tomorrow when we're practicing in the afternoon, trying to jog out tired and sore muscles because we have another game Sunday, so no time for a day off!!! But I always make an attempt to enjoy our moments, soaking it all in, smelling those roses when they're blooming :)

A little info on Euroleague. There are 4 groups of 6 teams, each team plays against everyone in their group, home and away, and then the top 4 teams in each group move on to the next round of 16 teams, which is followed by the quarterfinals, then of course the semi's and finals. Seeding is important because a 1-seed team plays against a 4-seed. This win puts us in 3rd place now behind two VERY good and experienced Euroleague teams.

We also won a very close game in a very difficult gym to play in last Sunday. We probably should have lost because we didn't play well, but we got a bit "lucky" at the end. One of our guards had a 4-point play (a three point basket and a foul) with under 30 seconds to play to give us one of our first leads of the game. That game has driven me to quit always cheering for the underdog every time. If a team is better, works harder, is much more efficient as a unit, they deserve to win.
