basketball

I had a heap of fun doing commentary on tonight’s NBL game on Twitch. Provides a reminder as to how well professionals can avoid dead air. Not easy to maintain constant dialogue! πŸ€ πŸŽ™

I got out and shot some basketball hoops today; first time in months. I loved it. Playing basketball is the physical activity that feels perfectly natural to me. My body knows exactly what to do. There’s nothing else like it. πŸ€

Great to have Miles Plumlee in a Perth Wildcats uniform. It’s a pipe dream, but it would be great to get him back for a full season next year. πŸ€

The Australia v Spain πŸ€ game was epic. Double overtime. Aussies with one day less rest combined with some interesting refereeing did them in. So no gold or silver medal on this journey, but they can still make history by winning a bronze.

The USA v Turkey πŸ€ was bonkers. Turkey missed their opportunities and the US can breathe a sign of relief. Previously, the Brazil v Greece game was almost as good. My Boomers won ugly, with thanks to Joe Ingles.

Just one day until the basketball πŸ€ World Cup commences. I’m excited! Two weeks of my favourite sport. I want the Aussies to do well, but I’ll happily watch any two nations play at any time.

Fun game of πŸ€ between Australia and USA tonight. Good sportsmanship all around. But where has Joe Ingles' jump shot gone?

I hit the basketball court today, after about 6 months of not even touching a ball. I actually had good shooting touch, but man, my back is sore! πŸ€

I’m looking forward to the NBL v NBA games coming up this week. Such a shame my Perth Wildcats will be without their starting centre, Angus Brandt. We needed that unit, who has a build like Aaron Baynes. πŸ€

I just watched the most insane πŸ€ brawl. Australian Boomers @ Philippines. Had been getting chippy, then a hard foul suddenly escalated to the Philippines bench clearing and smashing Aussies all over the place. Disgusting display. Can’t believe they’ll be hosting the World Cup.

It was fun to volunteer to hit a free throw in a β€˜triple or nothing’ scenario at basketball fitness training today. Nothing but net; saved everybody some running. πŸ€

Finished another session of Full Court Fitness. Not as ruined as last time, but I still worked really hard. Despite the physical exertion, there’s nothing much better than being on a basketball court. πŸ€
