The Michigan game was intense!!!! Burke played huge in the second half, that kid has potential.

Finally played up to my standards last night. Played 34 minutes, felt great, good energy, focus and no hint of being sick. We won a battle 105-103. Very physical game (this is the same team that we lost to in the regular season that fouled the hell out of us) but much cleaner this time around although there were a few chippy moments lol! I finally found my jumper and I went off. 61 points, 17 rebounds and a few blocked shots. They kept switching guys onto me but it was either a smaller player that I could post up or they stuck a post on me that had no shot at guarding me on the wing. Since I was shooting so well it was a pump fake or any hesitation move and they'd either jump or fall back on their heels trying to time the shot or drive. Too easy. We should have won this game by much more but our bug guy landed on his ankle wrong with about 9 minutes to go and they started to come back on us by feeding the post but we made enough shots down the stretch to pull it out. Super fun game.

Next game is against the team we went to triple OT with so it should be fun as well. We could use some revenge. ;)

True. Before the season the kept saying he'd 'lost a step' and that he's old a stuff. I'm sorry, if there was one player I wouldn't want to get riled up in the nba right now....its Kobe. Thats just dumb IMO lol

He seems to be playing with a chip on his shoulder lately. Many of those he would have laid up last year, this year he's just ramming on guys.

The end of the season tournament started last night, double elimination style (yea this is a short league, they have longer ones later in the year). We ended up playing two games. We mercy ruled our first opponent with 7 minutes left to play. Our backup wing played the best I've ever seen him play, just outside his mind on last night. Was awesome to watch. I played 10 mins and played like shit I feel. I'm obviously not over this sickness crap although I stopped throwing up early Monday. Jumper was off and I just felt drained energy wise. When I pulled myself out of the game I was pouring sweat like I'd been playing for an hour lol!

Our second game we ended up losing by 12. We were up for almost all of the first half and were down 6 at halftime. In the second half their post went off, I've never seen him play like that in all the years I've known the guy and we just couldnt guard him. He did have 2" and 70lbs on our post and he used it very well last night. I only played 12 mins to start the second half and I played better than I did the first game but I still was nowhere near my usual self. I pulled myself after 12mins because I literally thought I was going to pass out. I felt like I'd been playing all of both games and I look at the clock...nope, I played less in both games combined than I normally do in a single game lol! I wish I could say that if I was healthy we would have won but you never know. Oh well, I'm resting as much as possible and have upped the fluid intake today so hopefully I'll be more myself tomorrow. Our first game we should win very easily so I'm only going to play 5-8 mins to get a feel for how I am going and to try and conserve energy because our second game looks to be a tough physical match up judging by the bracket.

Wow. Reemix is sick. The guy just keeps getting better.

No workout today. Im laid up with some strain of flu. Bodyweight is down to 175 and I look like shit. Trying to stay hydrated but this thing is kicking my ass lol! Hoping to get over it enough to play Tuesday.

Skipped my planned workouts this weekend and focused on resting/rehabbing the ankle. After last nights game I believe I'm basically 100%. We finally played the #1 team in the league (record wise) and we put up a hell of a fight. We ended up losing in triple OT by 1. I missed two threes that should have ended the game, one in the first OT with 10 seconds left that was in and out and another in the 2nd OT that would of put us up 5 with 45 seconds left. On both they felt good, just unkind rims I guess. Other than those I played pretty good and our posts did a great job holding their own on the boards despite a significant height disadvantage.

I felt very energetic and bouncy last night, I think the skipped workouts let the rest of my body heal as well. Seeing that I'll probably take a week off or do light weights for a week after the season ends then hit.the weights harder than ever.

Wow, saw the vid earlier today but that still, holy shit. Amazing

Good news is we won!!! Great news is my ankle doesn't seem to be any worse off than it was, but I'll re-evaluate in the morning.

Despite not having our starting center and being outsized at almost every position we controlled the glass and shoot very well. We ended up winning by 16, 110-94 and it really wasn't that close. They couldn't stop us off the dribble which led to open 3s off kick outs and easy pull up jumpers. Very pleased with how we played today.

As for the ankle, I took some ibuprofen pre game and had it taped up very tight which felt weird during warm ups and the first few minutes but I got used to it pretty quickly IMO. It doesn't appear to have swollen any (I've stretched and iced it already, now its back in some ace wraps) currently so thats a good sign. It's still sore/stiff-ish but I had no sharp pains cutting or jumping tonight so I'm happy.

1602
Not really unless we are absolutely killing whoever we play tonight. :/ I rolled it Tuesday night so its had 48 hours to get a little better (not great I know) but I can walk on it with a little soreness but almost no pain and I have a decent ROM currently so we'll see. I'll tape it and warm up slow, if it is painful I won't play (just a rec league anyways). If I play and it swells up afterward or the soreness/pain increases then I'll skip lifting Sat and rehab hard.

1603
Thats what my mom said (25+ years of ER nursing), then she gave me two ACE bandages, some tape and some gauze stuff lol! It was like a training room walked into my house last night lmao!

Its still sore this morning but the swelling appears to be all gone so thats a positive. Its not a high ankle sprain according to mom so thats good as well. Either way gameplan is wrap, warm up good and ibuprofen lol!

Late update for Tuesday....we lost by 19. They had one small school D1 guy and two D2 guys and DESTROYED us on the glass. We stayed with them until about 12 minutes left in the second half and we went cold for a few minutes and went from down 7 to down 25 just like that. We battled back hard but their dominance on the offensive glass did us in. We had 4 points on 3 offensive rebounds lol! I landed on a guys ankle with 7 minutes left and sat the rest of the game. It's tender still but the swelling went down quickly with ice so I don't think its too bad. I bought a brace today and I'll wrap it and throw the brace on and give it a go tomorrow, see what happens.

1605
Awesome.
