well, to be honest, i was looking for an easy game against the bottom of the table, dragonsaints, but instead we got a team that was promoted from the top of div four. there must have been a request to be switched or something, i wasn't quite sure what to expect. unfortunately for us, these guys were better than the dragonsaints. we lead at the half, and for most of the second half, but just ran out of legs, and were eventually worn down, 43-49. things were looking ok in the first half, we lead the whole way, but with a few minutes left in the game, they took the lead, and we couldn't really muster anything in retaliation.
i was certainly one of the culprits in the second half, everything i was doing in the first half, i basically stopped in the second half, i just had nothing to give. i could barely run or jump, couldn't keep anyone near me off the boards, and i was cramping up as well. they basically just hammered the boards in the second half, and scored inside at will. we also gave up a few cherry pick layups, which was bad once, but every time after that, was really frustrating. we prolly should've called a timeout with five minutes remaining or something.
definitely the type of game i don't like, physical, and we lost. we were missing lawrence, so i think that made a difference, i think we could beat them next time (i'm pretty sure we could). i was basically moving at about 60-70% after about five minutes in the second half, so i wasn't too effective (possibly how i will play when i've lost my speed and athleticism? 
, i better start working on that shot).
i scored 17 points, with 5/8 free throws, season tallies of 99 points, and 19/34 from the line. we drop to 7-2 on the season, gus & frank lost as well (to tga) so we might stay at the top.
