30 seconds

(having Internet ‘issues’ around here…lots of posts, no bandwidth to post them.  Oh well)

We’ll go Jeopardy style for this one:

Q:  What is 30 seconds, give or take?

A:  The amount of time, after the start of the basketball game, that it takes Matthew to score his first basket.

His team lost the tip….well, you can watch the video and see their possession and his first basket.  He missed a bunch of chances in the middle of the game (almost all fall into the same category as his first shot, a dribble across the court and a shot from the right as he is fading away…) and hit his last shot from pretty far out near the end of the game.  The video has the two baskets; it’s pretty short. 

The referees, for 1st and 2nd grade, don’t call anything but the most flagrant of flagrant offenses and fouls.  The game looked a lot like wrestling at times….
