I don't get it! I am the shortest guy on the floor, and yet I lead the team in Rebounds again. This has happened to me a few time this year, and it makes me happy and a bit miffed. It sure is nice to be able to help the team out with a whopping 12 REB and it racks up another double double for my career stat book. It is frustrating that all these trees lumbering around the court can't do better on the boards. It is almost like they don't care about that very important part of the game, getting the missed shots. In my mind a rebound is just like a steal. People seem to have no problem whooping it up with how many steals they get, but the lowly rebound seems to get no love from people these days.
O.K. enough philosophical junk, on to some hoops. We easily handled Mazeikiu Nafta 83-65. I had to face off against Saulys Taiklusis and even though the guy is half a foot taller than me, I was easily able to shut him down all night. Because my concentration was so focused on bringing him down defensively, I think my offensive production slipped a bit tonight. I only took 10 shots tonight which was uncharistic of me. I was shooting a nice 50% from the field. I also chipped in 2 steals but only had 4 assists. I don't think the offense was going through me tonight. Arturas and Machito were the ones dishing the rock around today. I wonder if part of that was the perception that I was covered by a bigger guy and couldn't be as effective? I know I could school that boy any day of the week. I would prove to everyone that I got game if I had a stinking day off to compete in the 1-on-1 tourney. Some day. In the meantime I will have to be content with the fact that I am helping my team and the team is winning more than it is loosing.
