Hello everyone,
I figured I should write a post so you all know I'm alive and well. I know it's been weeks since you have heard from me on here. Nonetheless, playoffs have begun. We ended up with the second seed for the playoffs. Every game has been a physical one during this postseason. Even though some of the scores may suggest it was an easy win, my body with tell you otherwise. We won the best-of-five quarterfinals in three games and were off to the semifinals. This round was a physical one as well. The first game at home we won by about 20 points, but the other two games were closer battles. On the road during the second game of the series we faced a challenge in front of a large crowd of about 4500. Our opponent has one of the best arenas in the league and just about filled it for the game. After a tough win there, we were up to the task of finishing off the series at home yesterday. We started the game poorly down 0-13, but managed to have a one point lead at halftime. The rest of the game was close and we ended up winning by four. The fans were amazing last night and definitely created a home court advantage. The other side of the bracket is battling it out still so we don't know who we play yet. I don't care who we play - it's exciting to be in the finals and I'm looking forward to the challenge that's ahead. I'll try to include the link to the upcoming games. Here is the link to last night's game http://new.livestream.com/DBL/events/2086535. I hope it works. I also threw in a couple dunks for you :)
On another note, Ross, his wife, Carli, and I went to the famous Keukenhof flower garden here in Holland. It is really an amazing place! You have to check out pics on the internet of this place. I included some pics to give you an idea. It was only about 25 minutes from where we live so we had to check it out.
I hope all is well with you all and I'm glad to hear the snow is finally gone back in Wisconsin. :)
Oh and I forgot to mention...don't be afraid to comment on here if it works.
Take care and God bless,
Mike
