Charlotte is a very difficult team to match up against because they have a tremendously talented roster, and while though their record might not show it, they are going to gel soon and be a tough team to stop. We went into Charlotte riding a 2 game losing streak, so it was a delicate situation to make…

Flowers to my teammates It’s Monday already. I’ve got a pile of work to do, this blog to write and I have one day to recover before heading back to the gym. It’s a good life, especially when we are wining like we’ve been lately.
