Hi all and thanks for the appointment of coach again this season. We begin with an extended team of 15 with some depth in the guard and sf positions. We kicked it off last night with a good game against Macau. These guys pack a punch and will upset some teams this season.

Mvps
3- Khaira- 28 pts, 9-11 FG% and 6 assists
2- Flood, 18pts, 3 boards, 2 ass
1- Vansterdam- 13pts, 7 assists.

Next up, khazakstan. Players in the team hopefullt have a rock solid training plan now and know where they are going. Please contact me for any assistance you would like, whether your player is in the side or not!
Thanks,
Ww

Australia Ddef Sth Korea 121-70
Nice 51pt win caused me a massive headache with 4 players absolutely deserving of top votes. Can't have them all...
3- Lu 22pts, 17 boards, 3 assists 71% FG
2- Flood- 13pts, 10 assists, 3 boards, 2 steals 60% FG
1- Traina 24pts, 11 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals 66% FG

Der Spek could've been as high as the 3 votes with 14pts, 7 assists, 4 boards and Shot at an elite 7/9, 77% FG! Don't know how to separate 4 performances like that, or try to rank them... I took into consideration their defence too, with Lu keeping his man scoreless in 29mins.

We have a bye this week but will play a scrimmage. Good job everyone.

3- Flood with 22pts, 7 assists, 4 rebounds
2- Khaira with 15pts, 6 boards, 3 assists
1- Van Der Spek with 13pts (on 25% shooting), 7 assists, 5 boards

I missed the mvps on UAE last week:

3- Murry 20pts, 6 assists, 5 steals, 3 boards
2- Khaira 18pts, 4 assists
1- Traina 17pts, 9 boards

Looks like its been a challenging season tactics wise with our big man weakness. Although van der Spek getting totally shut down doesn't help. Annoyed Flood wasn't in better GS and couldn't start because he had 70 minutes which is pretty normal.

Yeah all good though. Firstly, Phillipines are a great balanced team with plenty of fire-power so it was a good win for them. Our bigs couldn't challenge the better sides, we are a long way behind them. This makes our great guards look powerless as they are being shut down. But yeah something wasn't right for flood and I had to flick him to the bench. I thought khaira would have played better to be honest, he is pretty good!

Mvps
3- Luu
2- Vansterdam
1- Flood

Flood actually dominated my Relegation game, led my team to victory.
