hmm...
i want say another thing.
any other my SG must play better then V. Volkovitskiy, but i hoped he help me to win this game
good luck in Asian Championship!

As expected, we got smoked by Taiwan, 117-81. Here's the box score: (11262). The final week of pool play will be quite interesting though.

We take on the powerhouse undefeated Philippines. They've already clinched first place so at least they'll be TIE'ing. Taiwan and Malaysia are each 3-2 and will likely advance. Now here's the fun part. NZ and Kazakhstan are 2-3, and India is finished at 2-4. We have a +67 point differential on Kazakhstan (who plays Taiwan). However we only have a +11 differential on India.

So our scenarios to advance:
- Beat the Philippines (ha!)
- We lose by less than 11 points and Kazak loses to Taiwan

So it'll be very tough. It would be annoying to lose on point differential considering our close losses and also since we beat India, but it is what it is. I actually expect Kazak to win since they'll certainly CT and Taiwan will likely TIE. That would eliminate us unless we somehow beat the Philippines. So say a little prayer for the NT next Monday!

good luck.
seriously

Go for the win man!

im guessing you mean we'll CT ^_^

I received a BB-mail from Jonathan Bedenham's owner saying he's pretty sure he'll be selling him in the near future. So if anyone's interested, let him know. Here's his player info: (8205437)

$97k salary but with superstar potential and only being 23, he can definitely be trained for a while still. And since he's a top Kiwi NT center, you'll be getting lots of extra merchandise income. Just letting you all know.

ill definitely have a look at him when hes for sale. probably shouldnt of sold him when i thought he was a horrble player strait out of the draft! lol

Purchased from Vidamor for $ 216 600

Think he would be sold for a little more than that these days. Would love him on my roster but would be bad for the NT as he wouldn't get any training, so I'll leave him alone :P

He's not getting any training from his Aussie manager right now anyway, so I wouldn't notice any difference But obviously I selfishly want him to go to an inside trainer!

Can you send me his skills through BB-Mail? I might be interested in him if I can save up a little more money...

So our scenarios to advance:
- Beat the Philippines (ha!)
- We lose by less than 11 points and Kazak loses to Taiwan

Well, it didn't happen. As usual, it was tantalizingly close though. We were only down 3 at the half and down 10 in the 4th quarter, but then we just absolutely fell apart in the 4th, losing by 24. It hurts too because Kazakhstan lost, so we lose on the freaking point differential tiebreaker. Awful. India somehow advances, despite losing to us and losing to Hanguk (Hanguk's only win).

So many regrets. I should never have TIE'd Malaysia in our opening game since we had a bye the following week. If we Normal, we would've won (we lost by 4). Never wanted to CT Kazakhstan but I knew that they were going to CT no matter what. And of course, it didn't pay off, losing on a 25-footer at the buzzer. And that also killed our enthusiasm for the last two games, when point differential was such a big factor. Just 13 points over the course of 6 games was the difference between advancing and losing. Could've easily been 4-2, but instead we're 2-4 and off to scrimmage-land and the consolation tournament. It hurts.

Keep up the good training, and someone buy Jonathan Bedenham so we can finally have some inside presence. He's on the market for $3 million right now: (8205437)
