So far we’ve won 2 games straight, 18 more to go.  The biggest difference here was the fact that I handled the ball.  We’ve been losing the past few games because we didn’t have a designated ball handler, while I was the designated shooter.

I shoot better off the dribble, but more importantly, I can put a defense on its heels.  When I handled the ball those two games, I put pressure on the defense, which opened up shots not just for me, but for the rest of the team.  I had a pretty hard time giving the ball up, but I figured I had to start learning to pass if we plan to do some damage in the league.

Sure enough, my teammates hit open shots.  I was still missing the easy ones, but I realized my real skill is just really getting myself and everybody open.  Just have to start passing the ball more.

Defense was solid as usual.  Got to wonder how the team transformed into such a defensive monster.  Especially since I was a staunch Dallas Mavericks fan growing up.

I’ve always wanted a PS3, an xbox 360, and a Wii set.  The problem is, I don’t want them THAT badly.  I’ll probably get one sooner or later (after years of thinking about it), but I don’t know which one to get.  Will probably go for the one with the best games.  Whomever supports the best NBA game out there, I’ll be leaning towards that.

Speaking of games, I’m so psyched to play the new Star Craft game!  I can admit I’m terrible at games like that, but that doesn’t make them any less fun!  The secret is, you have to play with people who are just as terrible as you are.  Really takes the edge off!
