Another Tough Loss

Aliaga was missing their best player, but they still beat us at their place 88-82. A big bummer for our team.

We are just not playing with the same confidence we had when we won seven straight. Feeling the pressure to win probably a bit right now as well. You lose a tough one like we did a few weeks ago and it can start a difficult stretch. Now we head back to our place next week to play a good team one place ahead of us in the standings. We were hoping to be equal to them, but it was not to be. I am hopeful, however, that we can learn and turn things around.

This season, like all others, will not be an easy one, but I am hopeful it can end well as we reach for our team goals. The coming weeks will play a big part in our being able to reach them.

I ended the game with 28 points, but didn’t do a good job getting our team in a sound offensive rhythm (though defense was our real problem). Shot well from 2 point range (8-11), but was terrible from three for the third straight game (2-10). Not sure what is going on there, but I am confident it will not last much longer. After a dry stretch like this, I am due for a very good shooting night. Hopefully it comes next week. I will work to that end.
