Beat Qiryat Ata after slow start... got some meaningful minutes...

Sorry for the delay, I was going to post yesterday, but ended up going to Tel Aviv with a couple of my teammates to shop and try some restaurant.  It was a good decision as we hit up this restaurant called Dixie's, and they had the best chicken wings everrrrrrr.  Anyway, we played Qiryat Ata two nights ago (Sunday night).  Once again, we had a real slow start (we can't seem to break that habit), and were forced to dig ourselves out of an early hole.  By half-time, we had taken a small lead, but this was a team that we really should have handled from the get-go.  In the third quarter, one of our guards had a injury which finally gave me the opportunity to play some meaningful minutes in a league game.  Fortunately for myself, I took advantage of the opportunity and played pretty well, making the only shot I took, and providing the team with pretty good energy.  Hopefully this will be the start of other opportunities to continue to prove myself in games.  Only time will tell.  This is going to be a busy week for a number of reasons.  I leave for the states next Monday night, so this is the week I gotta get ready, and get packed to head home for about 10 days! I really can't wait, it will be pretty awesome being home and seeing everyone I have been missin' for the past 3 months... but before I go home, we gotta finish business over here, and win our last league game before break against Givat Schmuel.  If we are able to beat them, we will be 6-2 heading into the break, which would be a very good start.
