AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! I can't believe I wake up to this!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm ready for this game. The time off between games was a big help. Been resting, eating right. Studying film. Working on some fundamentals and a couple things the Rocket fans won't expect. I'm confident. I'll get my nap a couple hours before the pre-game. Have my usual ritual of strawberry waffles and a protein smoothie. Focused on just this one game. Nothing else matters. I can't wait.

I took some PEDs and ate Mcdonalds and Taco Bell. Since it's 4/20, also smoking a bowl to celebrate this important holiday. I'm now in the bball zone.
