Playoff game no 2 vs Aalst – Finals here we come
My first finals EVER (not including the ones on my playstation). Although I played in the Belgian cup final last year, it’s not the same. We are 3 wins away from being Belgian champions. Last night we completed the sweep of Aalst, we did not play well and we were down as many as 8 points in the second half but we overcame that to win. I played 24mins, I had 17 points, 3 reb and 1 steal, all in the second half. We knew it was going to be tough because it’s the playoffs and they beat Ostend to make it to this round. They shot the ball very well and like I said before it’s the toughest place to play in Belgium, their fans are crazy (in a good way) and they sit right on the court. There were a lot of our fans at the game last night to see us advance to the finals. This is the team’s 3rd final in 4 years (champions in 2004-2005), so great things are expected of us. We play Charleroi, the team with the highest budget, they have been to the finals 10 times since 1995 and won the title 5 times. We are up against a dynasty, but I know we are ready for the challenge. Because we finished the regular season in first place, we have home-court advantage and I know the fans are going to do everything they can to help us win the title, the atmosphere is going to be fantastic.
