Poise.

Today was a great practice, we played slow and in control. Our turnovers were way down as we played with patience and poise, it only took us a week to remember. We played a few shooting games first team to make 12 baskets wins. It is a good way for us to shoot with a little bit of pressure, we are a competitive bunch and nobody wants to lose.

Defensively we did a little half court cut throat drill, first team to five stops wins. We also broke down defending down and back screens. The coaches put 24 seconds on the clock and you chased your partner off screens (one offensive player on each block setting down and back screens). Once the buzzer sounded it was one on one. Thankfully we only went through the drill once, it is tough. A very good reminder of how hard we SHOULD be playing every possession.

There will be a lot of napping and lying around this afternoon. Gearing up for two good practices tomorrow.
