Ohgie Mcgee lands his first double double in second win of the season for Ukmerges Santechnikai!

Now that's my kind of game! Not only was I scoring like I know I can, I was able to dish the rock to spread the love with others. Dam, that is a rush. I managed to score a team high 25 points off 12/23 shooting and I chipped in 10 assists as well. Good game especially when you factor in that we won vs Jonavos Gelzbetonis fairly easily. I guess we sort of gave up a bit in the 4th quarter but at that time we were ahead by 20 points so I guess we could afford to slack off a bit.

We are now 2-0 and feeling great. Personally, I am feeling so much more confident as I start up my second season. I have to work on my conditioning though as these 48 min games are starting to wear me out on back to back game days. I will work on that with my trainers I think.

Rumor in the league is that coaches will soon be handing out some sort of surveys for players to fill out. These surveys are suposed to let the organization know about our personal playing styles and things we really like to do well on the court. Not really sure how much any coach would listen to players on that one. Suppose the entire team wanted to be on the highlight reels on the evening news? Each player needs a role or two on the court to be an effective team. For instance, I know I should not be leading my team in Rebounds as the PG of our team (I know, for those of you following my stats, there has been way too many times I have lead the team in rebounds). My job is to set up players, score some points, and play awesome D to shut down the other teams offensive floor general. Simple. I will not be dunking the ball over some guys head, I will not hit that half court shot at the buzzer, I will not do the behind the back through the legs of 4 defenders off the backboard ally-oop pass either...although that would be soo cool : )

The season is starting off strong for us I just hope we can stay motivated. When I need help with motiviation I head over to www.focusdep.com and read some of the inspiring work there. Maybe you should check that out and see how it inspires you.
