Yao...I just noticed a pretty interesting bit of information that I guess I will Post here. I was taking a look at the standing on the YMCA's website. As of right now we will be 5 - 0 and will have the same record as Christ Temple, and Back in the Day since both teams had a Bye week. Apparently they are going to be out main competition in getting the number 1 or 2 seed in the league. We definently want to try and get the number 1 seed that way we can let the other 2 duke it out in the other side of the bracket and we can save our energy and work our way to the finals. Now that being said. Hypothetically if we go undefeated and they do as well, then the tie breaker is going to come down to apperently Points Against then Points For, according to the way the seedings on the website are now. I don't want to put too much faith in that system and they might go and use Points For and in that case i think it would be wise to try and score as many as we can because that might mean the difference in where we are seeded in the playoffs. Of course Christ Temple has more points for because they have actually played all 5 games and Back in the Day and us both have forfeits against the Knights which they will have later in the season i believe. Im not one for running up the score by any means but if it comes down to Points For being the tie breaker then we have to make sure we score. If it's Points Against which is the factor apparently on the site now, then we don't have to worry and play better defense. Either way i think ill ask them next time what the tie breaker order is that way we can be better prepared. If it is based on Points Against by the way I believe we will have the tie breaker and have the number 1 seed barely at the moment. So lets step on Defense as well. http://eteamz.active.com/postoakysp...eason=377266&division=3330272&subsite=3324198 Woah that was a long post.

clutch, do u mind sending the whole game and highlights when ur done? thanks in advance.. on the side note to make a me feel a little better...I think I might of had more than 2 assists (I think I could of had 3 right as I came in...sometime around my traveling calls ) and I KNOW I hit a three in this game.
Yeah I remember him hitting a 3. I remember because number 6 saying "no shot" and I responded by saying "money!" before the shot went in. SO i was nice and glad the shot went in. And as far as the fan club goes...they were sitting behind the camera lol...and so when all your girlfriends come they are fans...but mine are my annoying fan club lol JK woah my first double double...Only cause Yao wasn't in the game.
lol Im glad I didnt get to embarrass you. my shots felt really good this game...(as shooters, Im sure you know when the feel of your shot just feels good) but they werent even close for some reason. maybe playing once a week will do that. yea I didnt get to see my ONE MEMBER fan club out there tonight...maybe THATS THE REASON FOR A TERRIBLE GAME (commented on later) I was very surprised to see that you led the team in rebounding. I can hear the stands chanting "MVP, MVP, MVP" sometime soon... now about my game: I know we didnt need anything from me this game but I had an absolute terrible game. Like others last game, Im goin to apologize. 5 TOs in unacceptable in my mind (always a critic of my game). On a good team where I think Im good at brining in a spark of the bench, I really didnt do much. I feel like I need to come in and push the ball up, penetrate, and kinda look to score but really this is the 1st time Ive been disapointed in my attempt of doing those things.
Yes, Rush did hit a three, no doubt about it. I accidentally circled it instead of slashing through it on the stat sheet here. I'll fix that in a second. About the assists... I don't know man. I watched the entire tape from start to finish and paused and did some rewinding to double check things, but I didn't fast forward through anything, so I don't know how I would miss those. I'll try and upload the entire video so you can go through it yourself, but as of right now I'm going to have to trust what I put down for everyone. ALSO, Stack, about the fan club. The girl that was sitting next to your girlfriend (that was the only other one, right?) was pretty cute from what I could see from across the way. Speaking of girls...my girlfriend has been in Thailand teaching English since early October, and for the most part we've done really well with being apart. She's coming home to visit (she lives in Dallas) at the very end of February until sometime in May before she goes back. The plan is once I graduate (also in May), I'm heading to Thailand to live with her until she's done in like September. HOWEVER, she's starting to scare me because lately she's really started to let the distance get to her. The relationship is getting harder and harder to sustain and I guess she's starting to lose touch with how great things were before she left and is starting to replace those feelings with the current feelings about the relationship, which is pretty much that it sucks because of the distance. So I keep hearing a lot of "I'm trying to be strong but it's really hard" type of stuff from her. She's scared of how the relationship is going to be when we're together again...she's worried that it's going to feel like it does now and not like it did before she left. I guess by now anyone who is reading this is wondering why I'm saying this. Well, I don't like to make excuses but I guess my mind just hasn't been on basketball much the past couple of weeks. I'm not just in a funk with my shooting...it's more like everything in my life is just off right now. I mean, this girl has already asked me to propose to her before and everything. This is the one I thought I'd be with for life, and now it feels like my whole life is being turned upside down and there's nothing I can really do to change it because she's on the other side of the world. So...my apologies for not being able to hit the ocean from the beach lately. And sorry for hijacking our YMCA thread and making it a Dr. Phil episode, but it feels good to vent a little bit. The whole thing has just engulfed me. I mean, I was talking to Josh about it the whole way to the game and all the way home from it. I'm sure you guys all know what it's like when there's something bigger going on in your life. And I guess, if anyone has any advice for me, I'd love to hear it.
Hey Clutch any info on Offense and Defensive/Rebounds I have that on the stat sheet i was trying to update. For now I put them all on defensive.
Im not really sure how to respond to that or give any advice. But let me say that I really enjoy being part of this team...it really seems like we are becoming more and more of a "family". Anyways, Ive never really had to deal with long distance relationships before...I mean the longest distance between me and another has been maybe across houston from me. It has to be tough when the the girl you love is across the world and the only thoughts that fill either one of yalls minds is thoughts of doubt. Im sure Kerry, girl that comes with me to games, had doubts throughout the years. To be completely honest, me and her about 5yrs ago meet online (aol chat I was really into for a while). 2yrs we were friends over the phone and never once met...I went through a couple of girls. This whole time, we both had love for each other but never made the next step. Instead she had to listen to me talk about my girlfriends and that may be the reason she had any doubts. Im not actaully sure how she was able to get through it especailly all of the side problems she had to deal with. Anyways, back on your post, Febuary is right around the corner. Keep the conversations upbeat and lively over the phone and not worry about the distance for the moment (very hard for females to do). When she gets back home, then when among each others company, yall can re-evaluate yalls relationship. Everything becomes better when its not longer words you have to see but smiles instead. I know pretty cheasy line just then. I think we are all in a little bit of a funk. For me personally, I think no practicing during the week hurts. Confidence is a big thing for me (as it may be for many athletes I guess). Id really like to contribute more but we are winning. Whatever the reason may be for your play...dont worry about it. I wish you well in yalls future..and hope for the best. Maybe she can come to our playoff games (which I hope you feel better about yalls relationship). I can see the stands being full of girlfriends and supporting their Stalkers.
Okay guys updated the website stats so you can check them out if you would like. http://www.livesportscafe.com/khalil/basketball/stats.htm
Thanks for the kind words, man. I totally agree with what you said about waiting until she's home and then re-evaluating things. It makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is to toss the relationship in the garbage because of the distance. That's just not a respectful thing to do to someone that you are in a serious committed relationship with, am I right? Especially since we are relatively close to the end of all the torture of being apart. I'm just worried because even though she's 24 (a year older than myself), she is still pretty immature in some ways. Basically before I met her she was just finishing college and was just coming out of the party/no serious relationship phase. Now it seems that since she's started getting closer to her coworkers in Thailand and hanging out with them a lot more, she's starting to fall back into that old "I just wanna have fun" type of mindset. By the way, ALL of her coworkers are guys. So you see...if I knew I was going to get a chance to work things out when she gets back, I'd be doing a lot better. Right now though, I'm just not 100% sure that she's going to be able to hold on until then. She says she will, but I don't know...it's starting to feel more and more like I've lost her. She assured me before she left that the distance wouldn't ruin our relationship. Time will tell how much she really believed that. Anyway, I always wanted her to come watch a game of mine sometime, but it never worked out during C League, and now obviously she's been gone all of D League. She asked me a while back if we'd have any games after she got back, but I told her I don't think we do. See, she has to give her kids a final exam on like February 20th or somewhere around there, and then she has some end of the semester stuff to take care of. She likely won't be back to the states until March 1st or so, therefore I think we'll be all finished up by then. Unless the playoffs are like a month long and we go all the way. As it seems right now, the timing is perfectly set up so that she'll juuuuust miss our last game. Unfortunate, I know.
Hey clutch...just wanted to let you know i did add your Total FG % that you wanted....and hang in there with everything else....trust me...i have been through some rough times before i got in this current relationship... I know exactly how you feel right now...and any time you need to talk about thing bro...ill listen...if you don't wanna do it in the board...email me direct....
Thanks Khalil. About the rebounds...I gave up on designating between offensive and defensive because I think the second game's stat sheet was WAY off anyway. I put them all down as one category now.
well our last game is Feb 27 10:00pm against "O" And...so maybe it will work out. Everything always works out for the better. And you are completely 100% right in every thought on what should happen or what should be going through her head but sometimes what should happen dosnt happen. I dont want to put any doubts in your head, as she has enough for the both of you it seems. and Im pretty sure stack, me, and the rest of the team feel the same way. hell, get together at Live to "help clutch cope" and get his game back...drinks on stack
LOL I like that theme. I'd definitely be up for that sometime. It always helps to get out of the house when you've got something on your mind. Somebody set it up and let's do it! I also didn't know our last game was February 27th. For some reason I thought it was February 7th? If it's really February 27th, and depending on how long playoffs are, I may have to miss a game while visiting my girl in Dallas. Then again I have class on Tuesdays anyway so I wouldn't be out of town unless we had a game during my spring break (March 10-20th). I hope the schedules don't conflict. By the way, Rush, I am uploading the game from the camera to my computer right now and I'm watching it as I go. I just saw one of the assists you might be thinking of, but I don't think it's really an assist. You threw it across court to YaoWink on the baseline but the ball went through his hands and he had to turn around and regain possession of it. Then he dribbled slowly out to the 3 point line before he nailed the shot. So it wasn't a continous play at all really. I remember rewinding to take a second look at it and deciding not to count it. Sorry man. I forget what it was, but I know there was at least one questionable stat that I didn't give myself either. And no, it wasn't a turnover, missed shot, or foul.
Our last regular season game is on the 7th, but then playoffs start. I am not sure of the format or the schedule, but playoffs might go until the end of February. http://eteamz.active.com/postoakysports/calendar/index.cfm?date=2006-02-01&subsite=3324198 As far as a Live get-together, I am free on Tuesdays (obviously) and we have a bye week coming up on the 24th. Just throwing out that day for consideration, and I am sure Stack would like to go to his work during his time off.
Sweet! I got 3 rebounds? Man I need to seriously find my shot. I'm really rushing it badly. When is our bye week? I'd be down to get some drinks at LIve.
good game last night fellas. i like when the time is distributed that way. everybody got on the scoreboard i think. wtf was going on with you, stack? you were like "da fire man" (put it in a pot... let it steam let it brew. now watch it melt, but don't burn yourself). lol. keep it up. hope things get better, clutch. you have seemed out of touch lately. haven't noticed you sticking around after the games to throw down a few. if y'all ever want to try the thing over at stacks place to again... "throw down a few", let me know. i'm like the king of drinking or something. next game is "basketball and a prayer". it's the team where they have the one guy that does layup drills and one other guy that can hit the ocassional (i'm sure that's spelled wrong) three. should be cake. yeah rush, i'm down for thursday. directions?
thursday basketball and/or bye week drinks sounds good to me...if anyone is free before our bye week for Live, Id prolly be down for that as well. 1st thing is 1st, Biggie are you free thursday for "practice"?
