Heart, Grit, Grind

Heartbreaker in 3..it still hurts. It really, really hurts. Bad, guys. It hurts bad.

So I know today I’m supposed to wax eloquent about my desire to travel overseas and see new things, have new experiences, fall in love with some Venezuelan man who calls me mamacita. Or something like that. (I'm looking at you Greivis Vasquez.) But I can’t. Not after last night. No sir.

I attended the Grizz/OKC Game Four last night. Suffice it to say, I’m exhausted. We didn’t get home until three, and I’m hyped on basketball. I’m OJ Mayo juiced up. No lie.

THREE overtimes. Lots of heart, grit and grind. It was an amazing game. We played hard even as we sqaundered an 18 point lead. There’s not much you can do against Durant when he’s on his game. I wonder what he sold to the Devil in order to shoot the way he does. The man makes impossible shots consistently. There’s not much you can do against Durant and Westbrook when they’re both playing well. Westbrook was our MVP during the third game. Not so much last night. Sad days all around. Tough loss. We’ll get them Wednesday.

All of that brings me to my goal for next year. I want to attend a professional game in the following sports: football, soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, volleyball. Why not? 

I don’t really care who I see when I go to the football game; I just enjoy the atmosphere. Same thing with soccer. Never been; heard it’s a blast....and soccer fans are ca-razzzy..

I’m def gonna see the Grizz- probably more than once. And I want a chance to see my favorite Canadian work his magic on the court - so seeing Steve Nash is in. For baseball, I’m probably going to have to suck up a visit to Chicago with my sister. She’s a glutton for punishment, and she’s been to enough Braves and Cards games to merit one trip to Wrigley. Probably gonna just see the Preds in Nashville. Always a fun night. And idk how I’m going to find a pro volleyball game or who I should see but it does sound fun. Gives me a little street cred with my players too, right? 

So yes. I’m going to paint my face, bust out my foam finger, proudly sport the favorite colors of my favorite sports team and cheer them on as they beat their opponents...soundly. :)
