Jeg er Tilbake...

My apologizes first off to those who have been following my blog on the delayed reply. Last post was about a month or so ago, we were still in the regular season with 3 games to go at that time and I was just coming back from my Amare eye problem. We ended up winning 2 out of the 3 games and finished in 2nd place for the regular season at 16-5. Playoff format for Norway is 1-3-5, by finishing in second it gave us a bye for the first round which was good because anything can happen in a one game series.

Harstad Vikings was our semi-final match, and most importantly a team that has been to the finals 6 out of the last 7 years. The way playoff system worked for the semi-final here in Norway is the team with the home court advantage has to go on the road one and then the next two at home, how backwards is that lol?! With that being said we lost the first game on the road, and came back to win two at home to advance to the finals. The games against Harstad were decided by defense and rebounds. They had the biggest team in the league with 3 guys 6'8 & taller, with some good shooters to go along with that. It always good to win a defensive series!

Tromso Storm, the champs of the regular season and a team that won 2 out of the 3 meeting this season against us is our finals matchup. This series is best of 5 games. They have one of the best starting 5s in the league, but probably one of the worst benches also.

The first game on the finals we got blasted 88-71. That game to was all about energy and we couldnt find a way to match theres. The second game was a bit of the same in the first half with them controlling the game with there energy, but we found a way to hang around and get some stops at the right times to get a win on the road. And it was also the first win on the road for the whole playoffs.

Now that the series is tied 1-1, we have a chance to win the ship at home. But its one game at a time next game Mar. 27...
