What's been happening with Spuds?

So much has happened since I last posted in this blog. The season ended with a victory, and a new season started with some more challenges. They introduced the 10 points per player per half rule into the Social competition as of the 2nd round. Some mixed feedback about it has forced them to reconsider the rule. This rule actually cost us the chance of winning last week after James got his 10 points, which he reached with a 3ptr when on 8 so only 2pts counted for it. We lost the game by 10 points, but had James been allowed to score more then we might have won. One of the opponents actually said that afterwards, as for the last 5 minutes they didn't have to play defense on James, which meant it was almost like playing 4 on 5 basketball.

My personal game has had it's ups and downs. Early in the new season I scored two 3ptrs in a game, but then other times not even get close to the ring. Last week I took the ball up the court and launched it from a step inside the 3pt line and banked it in. As a team we have been playing considerably better, with some excellent defense and some shots that I find it hard to beleive actually go in.
