Where to start????

Well its been pretty much a week since my last post and where do I begin???.......  I guess we'll start with the game against Ukraine.  For those who don't know we lost our first Eurobasekt qualifier game 59-54.  It was quite a disappointing result for us, as I believe that we are the better team, but we just didn't perform to our best that night.  The gym that we played in was packed, it was a pretty awesome atmosphere having a gym full of screaming fans, however it would have been much better if they were screaming for us!!  :)  (So note to all our fans, our first home game is on Wednesday night at the Welsh Institute of Sport at 7:30pm, hope to see our stands packed too!!!)  Our first half of the game was not pretty, and we struggled to get points on the board.  We went into the locker room 18pts down and feeling a bit deflated.  

But we came out in the second half and turned things around, we knew that we were doing a fairly decent job on the defensive end, but we just needed to find a way to put the ball through the hole!!  With two minutes left we were 5pts down after clawing our way back into the game, but we were unable to get any closer than that.  Everyone was frustrated and disappointed with the loss, we know that we can be a good team, and that we CAN compete with these teams, we just have to come out and put a whole game together.

So we've know got Lithuania coming up on Wednesday night and we've been practicing hard trying to correct all the "little things" that will hopefully help us to get a W on the board.  Lithuania is going to be a very tough game, they could be one of the toughest teams in our pool, so no one is taking them lightly.  We are preparing for them as we do every team, so it will should be a very competitive game.  Wednesday night, Tip-off is at 7:30pm!!!!! 

Other news, congrats to all the Breakers girls winning their first grand final game!!!  Awesome news, I knew you guys could do it, 1-0 baby!!  Now lets just finish of this series this weekend and take the title in 2 games, no need for 3 :)  Go out there and play hard and know that this is your win.  Take it from them on their own home court!!!  Best of luck to you all, and I will be eagerly awaiting the results.  Good Luck Breakers  :)

Also a belated happy birthday to both my brothers!!  James was on the 14th and Andrew was on the 15th, I cant believe how old you guys are getting now.  Your just growing up so quick.  I'm sorry i missed another one of your birthdays, but I was thinking about you both and I did text and call!!! 

Alrighty well its going on 10pm here and I'm extremely tired so I'm cutting it short and calling it a night.  Be good and stay safe  :)
