What's up everyone??

First off I just wanna say welcome back to Emin.  Emin has been injured for almost the whole season and today was his first full on practice.  I can't even remember the last time he practiced with us.  But it was great to have him back and he looked great out there today.  When you come back from an injury it usually takes a while to get into basketball shape, but Emin was keeping up with us.  

The day started out with a morning practice at a different gym,  we were at Erikslund which is over by the soccer stadium.  We just did some individual workouts, working on different things to make us better.  King and I were working on our post game but I felt bad for Dennis.  He was working on bringing the ball up court from the inbounds after the opposing team scores.  So he had to run over 60 sprints as fast as he could up the court while dribbling.  All his partner, Toni, was doing was inbounding the ball.  Toni was giving some great passes though, but he's gotta remember to keep his thumbs down.  Anders was giving him a hard time about that.  After the morning workout we went for a run outside through the trails behind the gym.  I hate having to run after practice but today wasn't too bad because we had some interesting conversations while we were out there.  Made time go by alot faster.  

After practice we had some lunch at Andreas followed up by a great nap.  I gotta say, I really look forward to a good nap.  I know that one day, when Im done playing basketball, Ill have to get another job.  And when that happens, I won't have to luxury to take naps everyday.  So Im gonna take advantage of that for as long as I can.

 Afternoon practice started off pretty funny.  I had to get my ankles tapped before practice so when I came out everyone was already getting warmed up with a shooting drill.  Dennis needed a partner so I joined up with him to start shooting but we were doing the drill wrong and Coach wasn't too happy about it.  So he wanted King to explain what we should be doing.  I don't know what was so funny but King had a hard time explaining what to do, as he was laughing the whole time trying to talk to us.  And, you know when someone starts laughing it gets contagious so pretty soon everyone was laughing quite a bit.  Now, me and Dennis are even more confused on what to do but luckily, Hank and Toni were there to talk us through it.    I don't think Coach was laughing, but what are you gonna do?  I thought it was hilarious.  Practice was pretty uneventful after that.  We were working on a couple things that we think will help us for our game against Sundsvall.  After practice we were hanging out in the lockeroom having some great conversations.  It would be too hard to write what we were talking about but let me just tell you it was highly entertaining.  Me and Rasmus play alot of Ms. Pac Man after practice trying to get the high score.  Dennis has it right now and it's looking pretty unbeatable.  We're getting closer and all it takes is one great game.  I think Rasmus has it in him to take Dennis down.  

So I just got done eating dinner and am gonna head over to Chris' place to hang out for a bit.  The last time I blogged I asked for some recommendations of good restaurants around town.  I haven't been to them all but I think I'll check out the Greek restaurant tomorrow and let you know what I think.  I love Greek food so Im looking forward to that.  

Hope you everyone is having a great night and thanks for checking out the blog.  Later
