Basketball

It was the tale of two tapes. Started off really slowly. Almost like I couldn't run or move. I was keeping up it just felt like the game wasn't moving very fast. I also struggled with my shot at the start which is weird because I usually start good and as my legs get tired, the shot starts to fall short. It was the opposite, I struggled until the end where I played really well. It was also really cold in the gym so that might have contributed to the slow start, even though I stretch before I leave the house and try and get a sweat before we start playing, my body wouldn't get loose. One guy even played in a hoodie the whole night. By the end though I think I played fairly well.

Another reason for the slowness could be my calve. It was super tight last night, even though I run a massage stick over it and stretch it, it remained tight. Anytime there was a lapse in play I could feel it tighten up. It's really tight this morning as well. I don't know how to fix it, it's been like this for a week. The massage therapist massaged it, I stretch it, I use the massage stick and nothing. I'm wondering if theres something running from my hamstring down to my calve which is causing the discomfort.
