5/22 log
We had our 1st playoff game (our league is kinda weird, 6 regular season games and 2 playoff games whether you win or lose).
We got to play a 3-3 team (we went 5-1, losing to the only undefeated team who hopefully aren't in our bracket lol). They definitely weren't as good as we were and we were up 10+ most of the game by their best player started hitting long 3s near the end and they got as close as 4 points.
I went into the game remembering all the Nick Collison games I'd watched the past week and really tried to visualize myself seeing things a step or so ahead, and moving constantly on defense and offense to be in a good spot at all times. I ended up only shooting once, a missed layup (guh!) when they were making their late game comeback. I took myself out for a better player at that point. I was pretty pissed I missed it.
I feel my defense was really good this time in the zone and I basically made zero mistakes playing both up top and down low throughout the game.
On offense I had several assists (the guy on our team who basically only complains even said I was passing well, lol) including 3 I believe from out of bounds for easy layups as our guys cut next to the hoop on the baseline. I guess I could have maybe shot a couple of times instead of passing it but when I did pass, we got an even better shot so whatever.
I'm not sure how many rebounds I had but I definitely caused a decent amount of disruption while I was out there and got a few. All in all I was very happy with my game and am excited for next week! And just as excited about an offseason where I can get stronger and be a super player in a few months,
