I see mostly yours and YCs players in the lineup

Come on....thats not fair. I have one player who gets minutes, Motoori only played 1 second.
And to be honest....I would have went with the 3rd big too. Singapore has started 3 C's every game this round. It was an easy scout even for someone who isn't the coach. In the end it was a +1 point loss.
Now we(Nippon) dust off and get back on the bike..

I think RB influenced this one. Everywhere else, Tsunami is ahead.

I seriously doubt that.....I would say IS,ID,JS,REB are all places where Asano has Tsunami....

Happy Birthday!!!!! and a great post!!!

I guess I should apologise for Kawagichi's poor effort, 7 minutes only, didn't take a shot, 0 points, 0 rebounds, just 2 assists, a bad effort. Maybe bad next week too, he either gets 90 minutes and 48+ training or about 50 minutes and no training at all. I am planning to go with the 90.

Blanks are effective. Rebounds at PG~SF are not (my opinions obvoiusly)...
I see mostly yours and YCs players in the lineup.

We need reboudning on the PF/C.... RB on the SF/guards didn't win the rebounding battle for us... rebound distribution is always funky...they spread theirs out more. it was close I guess...but ultimately we needed more flow,scoring and OD from the guards. I think the selections you have made this season gave us lower primary OD and flow skills for the PG~SF..and less RB for the bigs. This is/has been a problem IMO

I will respond several ways to this.

First, we need rebounds at sf because we need rebounding period. If we had monster bigs, taking a CHANCE on a skilled sf with low rebounding would be an option.

I only challenge you to look at the rebounding of SF on the major contendors when they are up for sale. Its nothing against your player, but in a look inside environment, the sacrifice of OD for reb is a logical decision inmy opinion.

Second, as for the playing my players...i only ask you to sort by salary on the NT page. I have 3 of the top 6 salaries. Salary is not the end all be all, i will give you that. But it matters. certainly it does.


Lastly, look at the rebounding distribution in our last game.(23535)

We had 4 guys get 7 rebounds, after that only 3 other players even got one. Look at our opponent.

Look at the NZ game (23532)

We had a combined 92 mins of non PF/C/Asano game time...and 4 rebounds there.

Bottom line is, rebounding is expected in elite countries. Its not even a point of discussion. When we are going up against SG with level 11 reb, SF with level 14s, to say that i am over valuing rebounding is not necessarly fair.

This game punishing you when you give up Orebs.

We outrebound Singapore, we win that game. That simple.
