Today we played our first game in two weeks against the BSW Sixers of East Germany. The same team we played in our last game but this time at their place. The game started out with me getting an and one layup, however I missed the free throw but we still had the lead 2-0. That would be the last time we would have the lead. The Sixers controlled the whole game. They dominated us in every aspect of the game. I'm not one to blame or make excuses but we did get screwed on a lot of calls by the refs. I stuggled with my shooting in the first quarter missing easy open shots that I normally make. After the first quarter we were down 19-29. The Sixers came out in the second quarter with a lot on energy and they pushed their lead to 34-62 by halftime. I had 13 points at the half but I was still struggling with my shooting. We came out in the third quarter with a lot of fire and energy on defense that lead to us going on a 9-0 run to start the third quarter. Then a series of horrible calls by the refs put the Sixers in the free throw bonus and us not having a single foul drawn. I give that credit to home court advantage..haha..Anyways, after those fouls killed our run, the Sixers continued to control the game. By the end of the third quarter the Sixers we still leading 62-89. The fourth quarter went the same as the other three with the Sixers sticking the "nail in the coffin" and putting the clap on any comeback we had. I finished the game with 25pts 5ast 4st 2rbs 3TO to lead us. I however didnt shoot the ball very well going 8-20 for the game. I did however go 7-8 from the free throw line, which I could say, in that atsmophere is pretty good. The crowd for the Sixers was pretty good. I believe they had 300 or more people there and I think every one of them had a drum, cowbell, horn, siren and/or some kind of noise maker...haha...The gym was so loud during the game, that during huddles, timeouts and face to face conversation we couldn't hear each other talk. We resorted to hand signals to call plays and communicate to each other.
Our next game is on Saturday Novemeber 14 away at Itzahoe. Itzahoe, has the leading scorer in the league, 27.9ppg, who score 47pts in his last game...So it's going to be a fun challenge for us. Hopefully we can get rid of our "goose egg" and win a game. We are 0-5 on the season.
