wow italy is putting up some good stats...

But more wow is Panja holding his own....what a beast!

Wow, was our game with Belarus one for the ages today! It went FOUR OVERTIMES! We pulled it out 153-142, here's the boxscore: (12814)

Recap:
It was close the whole way in regulation time, and Panjaitan hit a jumper with 11 seconds to go to send it to overtime #1.
First overtime we were down 5 but clawed back and Quinton hit 2 free throws with 8 seconds to go to send it to overtime #2.
2nd overtime we were up 5 with 35 seconds to go but a score, a steal, and a 3 tied it up. Searles missed a shot, on to overtime #3.
3rd overtime was tight all the way, they hit a shot with 13 seconds to go to tie it. Panjaitan missed the game-winner, on to overtime #4!
4th overtime, Quinton and Panjaitan absolutely could not miss, and we ran away from Belarus, outscoring them 19-8 in the 4th OT.

MVPs were Quinton and Panjaitan obviously. 50 points (and 63 minutes!) for Panjaitan and 38 points for Quinton! We also held their 346k salary Center to "only" 9-23 shooting, good work Eddy Hales and Val Montana! Overtime games are fun because they inflate your team ratings, so we saw the first sensational team ratings in NZ history today.

Nice win namssor Panjaitan is on form now with 3 games in a row over 40 points.

Yeah that guys a beast haha!

Well, as expected, we beat some Barbados butt today in the last game of the season (and probably the last official game of my NT coaching tenure). 132-83 final score, here's the box score: (12893)

11 players scored for us, with Stacey leading the way with 25 points. Shout out to Zailizam and Matakorama for scoring 24 points in 25 minutes, and 21 points in 20 minutes, respectively. Impressive.

If anyone knows of any good players on bot teams that you want to save, let me know because I can shake up the roster now that competition is over.

We finished 4-4, not a bad season considering we had to play some top teams. We managed to knock off #46 Austria and #33 Poland. Somehow our world ranking went down from #62 to #77 (don't ask me!) in the process. Whatever. Good season everyone, let's finish the season with some solid training!

Good win to finish the season.

Good work Nam, a great way to end the season, was a good all round team effort!

If anyone is interested, big man Eddy Hales is up for transfer. (10268893) He's listed at $1.95 million. He's still only 23 years old so he has a few years of training left and will certainly be on the NT for many many years to come.

Eddy is now back playing his basketball in New Zealand - hopefully will improve his free throws as 0/47 from the line last season is worse than Shaq would have ever been!!
