El-Amin's 33pts, Not Enough...



It was a had been a rainy evening, I finally found the energy to push myself off the couch at 4pm, still suffering from my own personal jetlag and then dealing with the lack of sleep from the Six, I was literally sick with sleep. The driver would be back to get us at 630pm.

Waited for Sacscha on the block underneath the protection of a boutiques over hang, he is late, traffic and weather conditions. Finally pulls up, we all make our way into the van. At least I can drift back to sleep for the ride, we all did.

Arrived at the game a few minutes into the second quarter, we are down six. Momentum is upbeat, the big men are getting hammered and one of them is in foul trouble. A few nice jumpers and drives by El-Amin. The game is against a team called Kryvbasbasket. Isa is begging for "Something" by half-time, and we are still down 39-43. Ishmael and Idreis made it out on the court for a few shots and show for the crowd.

The team rallied a few times in the third, a few steals and executed offense, but Budivelnik was never able to gain the lead, although tied it at least once or twice in the second half. El-Amin had a few threes in the last mintues of the games but it was not enough for a victory. He finished with 33 points, 7 assists, 1 steal. Game final score was 97-92.






Still raining when we leave the game and a bit chilly, Free Clipart Picture of a Slice of Sausage Pizza.

Price is not bad and chicken with cheese and pinneapple, the children loved. Isa didnt made it to dinner as he was fast asleep as soon as we walked into the apartment. They watched the movie Chilly Dogs and I decided to retire early for once and prayed for no 1am cereal demands.
