It was a pretty good series of games though, and I felt like I won more than I lost. Thankfully the numbers were down a bit, we had 15 last week, which led to games of 5 on 5 on 5, with one team always waiting in defense (so no fast breaks). With a rotating group of 8-10 players last night though we were able to play proper full court games (even though the full court is maybe 2/3 the size of a regular court), which was much better. Especially during the final game where I teamed up with the best point guard there (only known as "Foetus", possibly because of his resemblance to Mike Dunleavy), and got to actually run the break, rather than just jack up long threes.
Quick aside - after reading Basketbawful's "Hacker's Rules" here, one guy stood out last night as perfectly fitting this mould - the gangly, awkward kid, who couldn't shoot, pass, dribble or play defense, but kept saying stuff like "Wow, my fitness has really dropped off in the last week." Right, that's the reason you can't play . . .
We finished a bit after 12, but by the time I got home, and had a shower, it was approaching 1am. I was feeling dehydrated, so I had several glasses of water. I think I fell asleep just after 2am, but because of the water drinking binge, I ended up getting up several times during the night to go to the bathroom. So, not feeling so crash hot today, and wondering if maybe I am getting a little too old for this type of thing.
