Losses, Changes, and All-Star Weekend

First, we lost a road game to Darussafaka, a team we definitely should have beat.  Wasn’t easy playing them in an empty arena, however.  Empty arenas actually do serve as a home court advantage, oftentimes much more than half or full arenas.

We then returned home to lose to Antalya this past weekend:  102-92.  We were tied witih them in the standings going into the game, so that was a tough one to drop as well.

Tonight, we loss to the top team in the league on the road.  Efes Pielsen.  96-67 was the final score I believe.

Personally, I have felt good on the court over the pass four games, though I did not finish the game strong this past weekend.   In particular, I have been trying to do a better job spreading the ball around and making everyone better.  Hopefully, that will translate into wins in the near future.

We also have a new player coming in this week, so hopefully that will help.

And finally, this weekend is the All-Star game in Izmir.  I have been selected, along with my teammate, Lance Williams.  I am looking forward to participating.  It’s the foreign squad (Americans I believe) vs. the Turkish players.  Hopefully, the USA comes out on top!  But it will be fun to play in the game either way.
