Dementors' Second Game

February 22nd, 2009, 12:00 PM PST @ Maywood HS

We lost to the Underdog by 3 points, 96-93. We opened up this game on fire (I hit two quick early 3's to put us up 8-2 before the seats were even warm). The lead went up to 18 early on and then Manny came in (for me - cause I'm still taking it light for the time-being) and things started to unravel. They chopped the lead down to 5 at halftime.

In the second half, we just never got it going until it was too late. They went up 17 within the first 10 minutes and we used the last 10 minutes to come back. We were able to cut it down to 2 with James at the line with 6 seconds left with a chance to tie the game and possibly push it into overtime but James missed the first free throw. Good game.

Record: 0-2.

Blacked Out

February 18th, 2009, 8:00 PM PST @ LA Fitness Hollywood

I'm not sure what happened in this game.

I blacked out about 6 minutes in and left the gym @ halftime. It wasn't cool.

Here's a few details that I do know: The other team started the game with only 4 players and we had 8. Their 5th man showed up at halftime and we won the game.

Possible attributes to blacking out:
1. Stress
2. Fatigue/Tiredness
3. Lack of Sleep
4. Dehydration
5. Hunger
6. Unhealthy Eating Habits
7. Too much exposure to a computer screen with minimal or no breaks.
8. All of the above.

Dementors' First Game

February 8th, 2009, 10:00 AM PST @ Maywood Academy HS

My first game for this new league in Maywood was a lost. I put up 8-points on 3/4 for shooting in the losing effort. I definitely hesitated one too many times on pulling a couple open 3's. I'm not sure why cause I was feeling good too.

We jumped out to a 12-point lead but that lead dwindle away slowly and we lost by like 6 or 8 points or something.

I don't know the team we played because I don't have a schedule and nor do I know our own team name haha.

I'll be sure to find out this information as the season progresses.

Record: 0-1

The Killer K attacks again with a 24-point performance as we improve to 3-0. As for me, I've been playing like garbage (averaging 7-points per game).

I'm not sure what's going but I've been sucking in my league games and killing in pickup games at UCLA. Whatever.

LZ Improves to 2-0
