The Agora
Saturday, February 22, 2003:
Hello all (whoever that may be?!) We played some basketball yesterday and had lots of fun. Connor and I against Drew and Blake - 2 on 2. We won the first game, but lost the next two. Then we played 2 games of HORSE, Drew won the first (after a great shooting dual with Blake, who is quite a shooter) and I took the second (despite Connor hitting 3 straight 15 footers with his eyes closed!) We stopped on the way back at the local Walgreens and bought cards for Cheryl, it's her birthday on Monday! Last night we went to see the Orlando Magic play the Chicago Bulls. Tracy McGrady put on an unbelievable performance, scoring 52 points in only three quarters. We were disgusted that the coach sat him on the bench for the final quarter. His after the game comments were that the game was well in hand and there was no need to put Tracy back in. Give me a break, I paid to see an NBA game, and for my money I want to see the best players playing to the best of their ability. To pull out a player going for a once in a lifetime 70 or 80 point performance is ludacrous and an injustice to the fans. If they tried that nonsense in Philly, New York, or Boston the fans and press would be all over it, but down here in "happyville" Orlando it was taken in stride... oh well, we still got to see him score 52, not a bad night. By the way, the Waterhouse Center is a beautiful building and a great place to watch a game.
