Let the games begin

We had our first preseason games (or "friendly" games as they call it over here) this past Friday and Saturday. We won our first game by one point. We were down by two points and one of my teammates hit a 3-pointer with two seconds left in the game. It was a great finish and a great start to the season. We played fairly well together as a team. We are still getting accustomed to playing with each other so the communication on the court isn't the greatest yet. I played well for my first outing and had about 15 points. Even though the ball was wet from all the sweat, I was fortunate to have my shots falling that game.
Saturday's game did not fair too well for us. We played sloppy and gave up too many turnovers and easy buckets. We lost by about 15-20 points - definitely aspects of the game we can improve on, but the season is very young. My shots weren't going in for me that game. Even though I had about 12 points, it took me too many attempts to get there. That's part of the game I guess. I will keep you updated on our future games. We play another tournament at home this weekend with games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
