Well done Wolph, everything prior went into my favor... but R&G simply isn't a realistic option vs a *better* team. I'm glad the BBs are looking at SB, as I'm hoping it brings LI back to the playing field.

Looking forward to watching you & Stunners go at it.

Well, think of it like this....Wolph was worried about your game, If he weren't, he wouldn't have run a BLANK line up. But he did steamroll you last night.
Ok..let's look at those rankings you posted again....

At the moment... ONLY at the moment (because... what else counts?), I would have it:
1. Stunners
2. Kawaguchi
3. FCTB
4a. YC (not completely sure I shouldn't have Pistons here!)
4b. Isehara
6. NKRK
7. Shogun
8. Swoosh

Here are my revised rankings

#1. Stunners(Superman)
#2. FCTB(General Zod)
#3. Kawaguti(If it weren't for Ueda getting hurt, I would be playing Swoosh on Saturday)
#4. YC(No 4a 4b crap...I beat Isehara at his house running R&G)
#5. Swoosh(almost beat Kawaguti without his best two PG's on the road)
#6. Isehara(If he would had started Kenney, it could have been closer)
#7. NKRK(the other day I thought I saw a 500 yen coin on the ground, when I went to pick it up it was a pachinko token)
#8. Shogun(Like the Bobcats or Suns, ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSolicious)

I have a question for the Great 8....Why didn't Kawaguti or Isehara beef up? Did they think a 600K roster was going to get it done. At least Swoosh beefed up but the loss of Eguchi the day before the playoffs and the loss of Ueda in game was his undoing. Kawaguti has the same team that I beat in the Cup Final.....Looks like Saturday is going to have two good games...

I really like the idea of uping the price of OD and lowering the price of JR and SB. That would be one way that wouldn't take three seasons to implement.
But for now.....This is from Marins lips(keyboard)..

Currently, we're not planning on any changes in the salary formula, but after we implement the Shot Blocking/Look Inside changes, we'll re-evaluate the situation and one of the likely next steps could be a change in it (of course, regarding Shot Blocking and maybe even Jump Range).

The fact of the game is that at the moment? LI gets it done, and not much else does. If you are playing a good LI side, with solid D... you better have a good LI side yourself.

I would love to hear what Wolph thinks the top 8-9 teams each have in the bank. I was quite impressive before I spent so much on the two big men. Staying all-Nippon for ever is not my plan, if I think I can balance training & winning next season I will bring in some new guys.

Seeing everyone else gave their rankings...

Surely FCTB, Stunners & Kitakyushu are the best betwen them win almost everything. Then just behind Kawaguchi Werewolves & Swoosh. Trailing a bit is Isehara Pistons, NKRK & me. I know what is wrong with my team & will fix it soon as Ichiro & Eita develop.

I a bit surpised to see my team with 3 Japanese NT players on in ranked 8th by my man Malice.

The force is strong with the JBBL, but not that strong.

Truth be told, im very happy with where my team is right now...and i will be looking to BUY a new trainee from this years/last years draft.

Yasujiro is nearing completion as you all can see buy his play of late. And my U21 player is close to becoming a rotation player. Add in a 3 guy to soak up the remaining training mins and im a pleased manager. As for competition, for me is more a committment to how much is it worth.

You run out and buy some beef, you can win. You stay frugal, you win to a certain point....and when you have 2 NT player HURT in your playoff game, you are going nowhere.

And all that talk about Yasujiro watching his back? (19825173) Check out those ratings on my 24 year old.

The NT coach cant keep him off the floor. when he is 26, he is going after that MVP.

There was no disrespect in that... just observing that your season wasn't what you usually do.
The thing about NT players is that it depends on *where* they're from. Nippon's not quite the same level as some other nations. For example, I'm pretty sure that if Tim was Japanese, he'd be in the NT. At 22.
However, he's from HK...
