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.
