My buddy, my buddy.

My most trusted adviser, lol.

I talked to her about some things and she gave me some interesting things to think about. She told me that if I'm better at playing the game, why switch up the game? Play the SAME game, and do it BETTER.

Shit's crazy because I been known I need to stop telling (most) people how I feel, but I went ahead and did it again anyways. I got Lakers' syndrome lol. If I remember what I have to do to win, NOBODY is about to stop me. If I forget what I learned before, I'm going to lose and have to learn this lesson the hard way, all over again.

By my count it is now Game 4, I'm down in the series 1-2 to this scrappy young team I should have had no problem with. My team is flush with veterans, but for whatever reason we keep getting complacent. We have to start this game right, come out guns a blazin', and with absolute lock-down defense. You know, let the other team know we're here to win and there's nothing they can do to stop us.
