more basketball

Last night we continued our scoring drought. We were awful.
I had planned to be very aggressive, for better or worse. I assumed that would lead to either more scoring or my fouling out. I'd have accepted either scenario. In fact, neither was the case. I ended up with quite a few rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 turnovers, and 2 points in what had to be around 1 for 10 from the field. Ugh. If a player has a bad night like that, and is surrounded by other players having good games, then they can absorb the bad play of the one player and still win. The problem is that I think everyone had a bad game...again. Our two scorers and a few other random baskets tallied up 27 total points for us, as compared to the other teams low score of 52. That is not sarcasm. 52 was a low score. Needless to say 27 is not even enough to be deemed a "low score".
Ok, enough negative comments. The good news was that we played really good defense, moved the ball around more than before, and hustled really well. If we can keep that up and actually score a point or two, we may be able to compete next week in the first round of the playoffs....but that bucket or two is a necessity!
