Hey Everyone,

It was another tough loss for us tonight.  This loss was just as hard to take as any other one we've had this season.  The only thing that makes it harder to take is that we didn't compete tonight.  They past few games we've played well enough to give us a chance to win.  But for whatever reason things didn't go our way and we would end up losing a close game.  Tonight wasn't even close from the start.  As I think about what happened in the game and why we weren't able to compete a couple things come to mind.  Our defense was horrible.  We gave up alot of easy layups by not getting back on D fast enough.  Our helpside wasn't there fast enough and when it was our rotation was a little slow if there at all.  These are all things that we now how to do and should do but for whatever reason just wasn't there tonight.  We missed some shots too.  I, personally, missed about 6 shots that I wish I could have back.  Dennis only played 13 minutes but still managed to put up 19 points for us.  I would've liked to have seen him on the court more.  I think when he's in, it gives us a better chance to win than when he isn't.  He's one of the quickest players in league, one of the top scorers in the league and our best on defender.  Some of the young guys got in the game and I was happy for them.  They work just as hard as any of us so for them to be able and get on the court and contribute was good to see.  Although i wish it was under different circumstances.  

Well that's all I have for tonight.  I apologize for not being more in depth about what went on today, but all these losses take a toll on us emotionally and puts us in a bad mood.  Im just gonna get to bed and tomorrow's another day.  

till next time...
