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.
