THE FINALS: GAME TWO
Game two didn’t go as planned. We were run off the floor by a team that played better than we did. Plain and simple. In a must-win game, we didn’t do the things necessary to win. We lost 88-70 to put ourselves in the hole 0-2 in the best of 5 series. Saturday night will be game three and I don’t have to tell you what happens if we don’t win because if we don’t win summer vacation will start. And it’s weird to say, but I’m not ready for that just yet. The difference in the first two games are our inability to make shots, myself included, in the first two games 1-11 shooting, so you can tell this is the reason why we are losing. People have always said that defense win championships but if you don’t make shots you don’t win a championship either. I know Charleroi is thinking that the series is over and they think they are going to sweep us BUT we can’t let that happen, that is the worst way to end the season. So for Saturday’s game you can bring out all the cliches : Our backs are against the wall, it’s do or die, it’s all or nothing, it’s a must-win, we have to show some pride, loosing is not an option. But it all comes down to we have to play better and for us it comes down to a one-game scenario : if we lose it’s over, so we have to play like that.
