Long time no post and its end of the year already. Been playing as usual and even added workout routine recently during weekends - been getting self conscious about my mid age paunch. Side benefit my stamina in game is better. Have had stretches of good and bad games. There was like almost a month we’re i could barely get a bucket in. But then there’ll be a good stretch where i score in the teens over a few sessions. My 3 point shooting been down lately so I’ve been keeping it consistent with mid range jumpers rather than settling for tougher perimeter shots. There’ll be days when i feel my age in my lower back but I’m still running well against the 20s/30s guys so let see if i can keep this up till at least 50 - which isn’t that far around the corner.

Been playing well recently but last week session was noteworthy. Finally broke the 20 point barrier and then some. I’d already had 13-14 points in the 1st 2 games and was just looking to cruise the rest of the night. But the 3rd game scored 4 more buckets and over the last 2 games added another 5 buckets. Nothing forced, one of those sessions the game just comes to you and everything you do goes with the flow. Finished the night with 3 threes (2 of them on pull ups), 4 mid range jumpers (another 2 pull ups in transition), 4 short jumpers and 4 layups (no cherry picking too) for a total of 33 points.

1st game coming back from covid so i was expecting to huff and puff a bit and i actually did have a rough start. but surprised myself by having an overall good game finishing with 19 points. through most of the run i had just 7 points on a 3 and 2 jumpers. then i got hot in the last game and ended the night with 19. last game i couldnt miss starting with a jumper, a layup and a 3. than the last few minutes i scored on a baseline runner and hit the last shot of the game with an improbable running 3 pointer. 1st time in a long while i've had back to back high scoring games.
