Two of Three

This week we play four games in four days at our home court. Eight high-quality teams are here, so we have played well to win two out of our first three. Our losses at the beginning of the preseason really seemed to help us clarify who we need to be and how we need to play. Now it is just a matter of working on it. I am hopeful we will continue to improve.

We have another game tomorrow against someone. I will find out tomorrow who when I show up for the game! I would search the Internet, but I still don’t have it at home. Soon enough I hope.

I have been playing alright throughout the preseason. Still haven’t really found my rhythm yet, but soon enough I trust I will. Hopefully just in time for when the games count.

Enough for now,
Joe

First Update of 2008-2009

So the season has begun…sort of.  At least our preaseason is in full swing.  Games are always welcome!

I am back in Turkey playing for Banvit this season.  I have been here about a month so far.  No Internet yet, so the updates have been slow in coming, but Lord willing, we will be settled in with the Internet soon.  For now, it suffices it to say that I am happy to be back and also honored to be named the captain of the team.  I am hopeful for a very good season.  We have a good group of guys that I believe can make it happen.

So far I think we are 3-3 in the preseason.  Many lessons learned with many still to come.  Our official season begins in 2 weeks.  For now we play again tomorrow and then have 4 games in 4 days next week.  It is a joy to be playing again.  I find myself marveling more and more than I get paid to play the game.
