Well, I have been here in Dubrovnik, Croatia for the last six months.
The city is absolutely incredible— we live next to an old castle
on the Adriatic Sea. Our team consists of the entire starting lineup
of the Croatian Olympic team and me. We were just presented the
trophy for winning the first Adriatic League (which is all A1 teams
in Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia). We won by one point!

Our team is now playing in the semi finals of playoffs for the Croatian
League and the quarterfinals for Champions League. For those of
you who follow European soccer, the champions league is pretty much
the same for both sports. We drew Partisan Belgrade for our first
game and they are considered to be the top team alongside us.

This was definitely an unlucky draw but if we want to win we have
to beat them sometime so I guess now we just have to get it out
of the way! We already played our first game against them last week
in Belgrade and lost by two in front of an extremely hostile crowd
of 5 thousand crazed fans.

Now, next Wednesday, we have a chance to play them again and win.
If we beat them by more than two points we will move to the next
round. The game will be at our home pool, where the crowd will be
even more out of control and the entire stadium will be overflowing.

Also, coming up on Friday we have the second game of the Croatian
semi finals. If we win, we will go on to the Best of Five series
finals.
