My last blog I wrote about heading to Charlotte, and now, I'm here.
Obviously I didn't know what to expect, being traded. The only time I'd ever been to Charlotte was when I played against the Bobcats. I didn't really know much about the city.
But my dad, my brother and sister live here in Charlotte, so when I would come out here, I'd go out to dinner and do things with them. Still, that's not really a depiction of the city. But I was excited because I have family out here. So it would give me an opportunity to be around them and feel a little bit more comfortable. When we got out here, we found a nice house and got settled in.
Immediately from there everything has gone smooth because the people in Charlotte are really nice and welcoming people. It's a very family oriented city so it wasn't hard at all. We had neighbors bringing us cakes and cookies, local kids stopping by and baking cookies. It felt really warm and it was simple to ease into the situation.
I feel like we're learning what it takes now. We're starting to practice a little harder and we're starting to play a little harder. As a team, sometimes you can get caught up in the motions. Winning is contagious and losing is contagious. And that's a fine line. I think now, we're starting to shift to the winning side. We're starting to learn what it takes to be a winner as a team.More at the link.
