3 blocks in one game i think...

can't remember all of them, but 1 of them was on terrance coming over to help. another might've been on jon, can't remember the 3rd. and i need to improve my endurance. i know i can rebound a lot better.

i rewatched the youtube clip on how bill russell guards two players, and then some ben wallace video. there's a lotta good things they do right there that a lotta players don't do in trying to block a shot. it's all about their spacing between their opponents, how they tense their legs, what they make their opponents think they're going to do or can do. but they're able to do these things b/c their hops enable them to cover more space, so they can back off their opponents, for instance making them think they've got a wide open shot, then jump and take that shot away.

i used to watch a weird cartoon when i was a kid; i think it was called "danger mouse;" didn't even know how i could watch that crap; there were a lotta things i used to watch as a kid that were nothing.

fyi, a lotta cartoons you watched as a kid werent necessarily that high quality.

oh yea; both batman beyond season 2 and justice league unlimited seasons 1 and 2(i believe they're bundled together) come out tomorrow on sale. big fan of both; watched batman beyond a lot when i was a late teen, and i watched a lot of justice league unlimited shows on cartoon network during college. i intend to get both seasons this weekend. J.L.U. is particularly interesting, b/c it's the 6 core members of the justice league(superman, batman, wonder woman, green lantern, flash, hawkgirl, martian), but now everybody else in dc comics, or at least most of them are involved; green arrow for instance, supergirl, etc.

i seem to be in a "baked potato" phase anyhow.
