You Win Some You Lose Some

We played a German (Trier) team at home on November 22. We got a win, and everyone was pleased because we beat them with a score of 81-48. Then, we headed to Athens, Greece to play a Euroleague team. It was a tough game against Panathinaikos. We ended up losing 96-63. We went into halftime winning. We just couldn't hold on to that lead.

We really need to win some of these Euroleague games. You have to be one of the top 4 teams in your group to advance. We play Asseco Prokom on December 3. We beat them when we played them at home in Poland. Hopefully, we can beat them again when they come to Germany.

A Tough Loss & A Few Days Off

We suffered a horrible loss to Real Madrid. The score ended up being 61-104. I had 16 points that night in our home gym. Our next game wasn't until the next week so we got 2 days off. It was nice to get a break.

Last night we played Paderborn Baskets, and got a win. One of my friends and college teammates, Terence Dials, plays for Paderborn. It was nice catching up with him. We head to Greece next Tuesday for a Euroleague game.

We Got A Win... Next Up Real Madrid

On November 8, 2009 we played a team from Braunschweig, Germany. We beat them with a score of 80-74. I had 20 points, but to make things even better they were undefeated in the German League. The Phantoms were a great team so we're glad we got the win. This was an exciting win for us.

Tomorrow we play Real Madrid. This team is usually pretty dominant in the Euroleague. Since there are certain requirements for Euroleague games we'll play in a different gym.

I'm looking forward to a great game, and will update everyone with the results. This is the gym (Messenhalle Oldenburg)

When Things Get Tough

These past few weeks have been tough. We suffered some losses in the Euroleague. We loss to Milan at home and Russia away. I had 20 in the Milan game, but it just wasn't our day to win I guess. Last weekend we played in Ludwigsburg, Germany. I played my first professional season there so it was nice to be back where I started my career. It was a good game, but we ended up losing. In situations like this all you can do is keep your head and regroup. I love to win, but I understand you can't win them all.

Hopefully, these next few games will be wins for us. Now, all I can do is rest and stay focused. On to the next game....
