3rd Game: vs Globo Gym Purple Cobras

Well tonight, Simbo got another two guys from BAF to play for us tonight, and Devo also played so we ended up with 7 players, but only 5 tops. So as a result I wore a T-shirt with a taped number 11 on it, and Nick took Simbos top when he subbed off. Nick only played about 10 minutes of the second half.

We started pretty well and had 4 points to their 11, but after I came on I didn't add anything to our game as we got further behind. I don't have much confidence in my own ability to play this game. Anyway, Harbs made two baskets in the first half and Tim made one basket and 1 of 2 free throws for a team total of 7. Our second half was much better, we played more structured defense and slightly better offence. Alex has the height which we have needed, but I don't know how often he'll be playing.

The Globo Gym Purple Cobras really only had two players that had good skill, their number 5 handled the ball most of the time and set up the passes for the scores. He also made shots himself including 3ptrs. This is frustrating at times, cause I wish that I could do the same thing, but I know I won't be able to. Their number 7 also was in position to score a bit.

Timmy and Harbs scored another 3 baskets each in the second half and Simbo made one shot which he actually took from outside the key. Personally I don't think he should take shots from outside the key cause he has the height and should be able to take the step towards the basket and send the ball to the hole.

It seems that our team plays in spurts of good offence and defence, but by this time the score is usually already out of reach. We should get better as the season goes on and be more consistent during a game from the start. The final score was 21 to 59.

Next week we are playing on Thursday at 8:30pm.
