Ohgie Mcgee stellar in loss to Buffalo Raptors

Dam I hate loosing, but if we have to loose I feel better if I played a good game. Against one of the deepest backcourts we have faced this year, I have to say collecting 20 pts, 2 steals, 7ast, 4 reb is a great night and I wish I could perform that well or better every night. Shooting over 50% was great as well.

I just realized something today. Matei Matei is a beast at PF and his strong play in that position helped to highlight a glaring need on the San Jose Bats. We don't have a single PF. Our flood of SF have been filling in that position but really against a good PF, we need some big strong bodies inside to keep those trees out of the box. I wish our coach was more accessable as I would like to share some thoughts with him. Unfortunately, our coach is trying some new telecommunication coaching methods and all we ever get to see of him is through a computer. Maybe that is part of our problem? Perhaps te Bats could be better if a real live human was in charge? Hmmmmm

Ooooo a great game comming up tonight! Portland Supreme is ranked 16 while we are currently 18th. If we can win then we might move up enough to catch up from the Buffalo loss. Portland has a great manager and it looks like he has been helping his team to develop evenly and consistantly. Again I am concerned that we are going to get killed at the PF position as Portland has a very nice stable of studs. Not that I ever take an apponent lightly, but I feel that Jason and Jason at PG are in for a long night vs me. If I play like I did against Denver, I am hoping for a career night vs Portland. More importantly, I want the win!

Ohgie Mcgee thinking streek or not?

That's four in a row baby! The San Jose Bats have moved from the bottom of the division all the way to ... well the lower middle of the bracket. Our latest win was much closer than the previous games. I sat out almost the entire first half, but had a good game in the second. I found it disturbing that after starting out very strong this game our team just declined in the 3rd and really didn't do much in the 4th. We basically survived and got the W and that is cool but I want to play the complete game. That's just who I am.

I would love to say we have a streek comming but reality hit home tomorrow night as we face the number 3 seated Buffalo Raptors. Realistically, our team has to have the game of it's life to win this game (or severe injuries to Endio Melecio and Matei Matei ). Believe me you will hear about it if we do pull something out tonight. I am just hoping I can paly a great game vs a very deep PG team. They have guys that are all tallented so they can keep those fresh legs running at me. A nice test and I am pumped and ready for it!

Ohgie Mcgee reports on 3 wins in a row

It's incredible in that locker room right now. We've got a groove on and looking good! Tonight's game was all about Daniel Mareno. That big guy just wasted the other team. Besides almost scoring half as many points as the other team (with almost 50% shooting too), DM also dished out an astounding 8 assists. Big guys can't pass you say? On this night that big man made my point guard butt look pretty pethetic in the dish category. Oh yea he also raked in 32 rebounds, as if that is small change. All of this in only 30 minutes! We are all happy for Dan and hope he has as much success in our next match!

Personally, I would like to have performed better. The coach must have liked the way I came on strong at the end of the last game as he gave me almost all the time on the floor. I honestly have to say I was not physically ready to put in all those minutes. My percentage started out great at 60%, but then two subpar quarters of 33% later I stunk up the floor at the end with a zero %. Yes I laid a goose egg and I appoligize to the team for not being there at the end. Of course with Dan having an incredible game, I may have been slacking a bit. Ariel came in to relieve me in the 4th and played very well shooting a perfect 2/2 and 1 asst in only 4 min. I almost wish he had come in during the 2nd or 3rd quarter to give me a bit of a break. I play all out, but not even the great players are cranking out 48 min of their hardest work. I am sure coach will find a formula that works well. Most importantly we won...in convincing fashion.

I was suprised tonight when my agent approached me with a new contract offer from a club. That was so exciting that my name is actually out there with other clubs and they are watching me and finding something they like. I was crestfallen though when I heard the offer. I am currently on a team with only 2 pg and I have a mostly starting role. This team has 3 pg in the stable already and I get a contract offer that differs from my current one in only two ways. My price tag drops 1k and I get a signing bonus less than what my team gives me now for a win. It took me all of 3 seconds to reject that offer and I felt a bit upset. On one hand I was very happy the team showed some interest in me, but on the other hand, a pathetic offer shows very little respect for what I may be able to offer them and what ey think my role on their club may be. Still it is exciting with the Bats winning now 3 in a row and at least one contract offer comming in so early in my career.

Ohgie Mcgee loves a win

The team has now won two in a row and the locker room is starting to feel the love. We just showed the true grit we have on this team after being behind 47 to 34 at the half, we crushed the Jacksonville Vikings in the second half to take a commanding 90 to 75 victory. Both our big guys at center had super games and they really were able to help the team secure our second W in a row!

Coach decided to let Ariel Carrera get the minutes tonight and that's cool. I understand that we have a young team with a coach still deciding what he like and whatnot. But when the coach saw the halftime score, he knew what to do and I was able to hit the floor and get some things rolling in the 3rd and 4th. I have to admire that in a coach. Lets build up all our talent on the team, but make sure we get the win. Thats the important thing.

Speaking of importance, I was approached by some reporter tonight and he was going on about why I don't excell in any one area as a PG. I asked him what the heck he was talking about and he talked about how much I was loosing out by not specializing. I guess there are awards given to each player that has the max scores in each ability. Me? I'm all over the place doing whatever it takes that night. Some nights I light up the scoreboard, others I dish out the rock to my big boys, and other nights I just get into stealing the ball from those big lumbering trees out there. Basicly if the team needs it ... I'm there. Teamwork brings sucess and eventually the money will flow my way. Right now a win is great as that little bonus sure does help my rookie salary. Heck I'm happy I can make the rent but as our team has more success and I start improving more, I'm hoping my hard work and selflessness helps me get to the contract I deserve some day. Coach has not indicated I need to work on any specific skill so I have been working it all, my shot, my big D, my physical and mental. That way I am best able to help the team with whatever it needs. The reporter then accused me of being too idealistic to be a pro. I got right up in the guy's grill and said, "I do no reporting bub so I assume you doing your best. You NEVER been on this floor, so becareful how you judge what you know not of!" I give the guy a shove and left for the shower. Media that feeds the greed of the world suck.

Now THATS what I'm talking about !

Yes, Yes, Yes, YES! I am so pumped, can you feel it? Finally our team rocked someone's house and I had a decent game too. Lightng it up for a career high 23 points including a sweet 3/3 from 3pt land, I was able to add in 2 steals, 5 assissts and 14 rebs ... whew ... what a night. Definately the night of my career so far and so much better as our team won a game! Zoran Pavlovic had a great game as well cranking in 13 and gathering up 31 boards .. what a beast man!

Despite all the positives, I got a gripe. What gives with that man of the match thing! What's a dawg got to do to get some respect people? Sure the cat that got that award had a good game but lets do the math.
Points 23 - 15 winner .. me
% .375 to .238 winner... me
Steals 2 to 1 winner ... me
Asst 5 to 3 winner .... me
Rebs 14 to 35 winner .... Adrian
Fouls 0 to 1 winner ..... me

5 of the 6 stat categories I lead on and the dude even played almost 6 more min than me! Whats up? I got to get my agent on this one boys. This just ain't right. I hope the officials that choose this crazy award can help me learn what the heck I need to do to get a bone!

I have never been so pumped about a good game in both a good and bad way. I'm still young and you better believe I'm gonna learn from this to get better. Just give me some time.

Sorry to let my boys down tonight

I don't know what happened. I had the time on the floor, I had the shot opportunities, but the rock would not go down for me tonight. I thank all my boys on the floor for being patient with me tonight and having faith that I would pull it out. I think I still need to choose my shots better as many of my shot were taken with the defense right in my grill. Well watch out tonight, I got a mission to make it up to my team. Shooting 1/12 sucks anyway you look at it. Sure I was able to chip in with a couple of steals, but I need to do more. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Snow from the Rams better lace those sneakers up tight tonight as I am gonna loose those suckers on the floor pretty bad. I got something to prove tonight!

Ohgie Mcgee does well in first 1-on-1

I can't believe it! I was so close! Actually entering into this competition my only goal was to have a good showing. The top place players are listed below and I would like to congratulate everyone for putting up good game. Many of the matches were close with only a point or two determining the winner. I would love to say my skills rocked the world, but I have to admit that luck of the draw helps a bit too. With more practice I am hopeful that I can do well on my next day off.

Welcome to my diary

This is Ohgie McGee slapping down the action from my experience in the Cyberdunk League. I joined the Golden League soon after the season started almost 30 days ago. I felt lucky to be drafted by the San Jose Bats as they did not have anyone on the roster to dish the rock. This team had all it's power up front with the big heavies. When I joined we had no SG, no PG and that freeked me out, but with tons of SF floating around and me filling in the PG, we were able to fill in bodies. Unfortunately, filling in bodies does not help with winning. The Bats are in the celler and don't look to climb out any time soon. Over the last few days we have picked up some new tallent including some competition for me at PG. It's all good as everyone needs a reason to keep the drive going and believe me, no one gonna take my position. Sure I'm under six feet tall but I like it low to the ground. With all those trees lumbering around me, that ball has to drop quite the distance to the ground making picks as easy as stealing from babies for me.

Comming into the league I needed to increase my confidence some. Coach Duca did wonders for me even though we took almost two weeks working on things. I do feel better able to handle some of the presure out there.

I got criticized by the media during one game as I really stunk it up on the floor. I couldn't land a hoop if my life depended on it. Coach approached me and told me I needed to hit the practice floor with one Patrick Leaky Lahey and I would be scoring all over the floor inside a week. Cool! Well, let me tell you, that was a week from hell! Not sure where that guy got his licence to coach but, I'm pretty sure his methods are not legal in every country. I guess you could say it was successful now as I can land any shot if I can shake my defender. Of course that is what I am working on now : )

I hope to post my progress every few days, but knowing how life is I may just be able to hit up the journal on my days off every week (today is one of those days).

If your interested in hitting the virtual floor with me and thousands of other players, you gotta go check out them crazy dogs at www.cyberdunk.com. Best of all, this whole thing is free! Can you handle that?

I knew you could!
