Damn! The toughest one's are the closest (ah, sport)

One of the reasons I love football more than basketball (yes I mostly play basketball 'for fun') is the tenseness the very structure of the game introduces. If you are 'firmly in the lead' you might only be a goal ahead, whereas in basketball that superior play will translate directly to about a 10-20 point lead. Yes, yes, it's pretty artificial tenseness in most cases: Bolton is never likely to score on Manchester United... but it COULD happen. That's what makes it fun!

ANYWAYS, had one of the funnest basketball games to participate in today. We had a chance to win it but blew it. I really was bummed, but to me I truly don't mind it as much if we played well, which we did mostly. Plus, I'm not sure if the rules are different in highschool, but if they are anything like in the NBA the amount of lane violations committed by Alice Smith School was x, where x is equal to the number of free throws they shot. I mean what the hell, how is it possible for the offensive rebounders to get the box-out EVERY time on us -- they were moving on the shot instead of when the ball hits the rim (when they're supposed to move). That cost us the game, since we couldn't get rebounds on those cheating bastards.

Thanks, oh well. To SEASAC then.
