Desperately unlucky. I'm starting to think the australian nts are cursed to continually fall just short of the world cup :p.

The semi will be on at the usual time, but on friday night\sat morning.

So cruel.

A difference of one point in the overall points difference sees us playing China rather than NZ in the Semis.


Edit


Totally agree, when you look at the matchup ratings and the player ratings, we should have won easily.


Tough luck, sometimes shit happens for no apparent reason in this game

Wasnt our best performance but we now have an opportunity to beat china in a semi not an easy task but far from impossible .I see they have one of their key bigs up for sale so who wants a new big man for $1.2 mill ?? ;)

just curious in that game, both teams had 12 players hit the court.

so i have 2 questions

a) Is that normal in NT games?
and
b) Why do we dress 12 players? And why do we set linups for 12? Why not, 7, or 8 such as normal league games? Is this a NT thing?

The standard nt approach is to play a blank lineup with lcd, which will play all 12 players if they are good enough. It shares minutes around better, and is pretty overpowered. Will be gone as an option next season though.

League teams don't tend to do it, because it screws with training - though sid has used it for much of the season, with obvious benefits!

And last season as well


I pushed all the hard skills like OD & ID early on in my trainees training with the intention that when they got to the age of 24 or so that Id be able to play them in their proper positions (SF) and train them in 2 position stuff like JS and driving.

Thus enabling my team to play at full power despite still being in training mode

Yeah, I've used it myself on occassions (league finals last season), but have to sacrifice my training scheme to do it.

Ooo I like......ditch the passing training and give him some IS trainingg and keep pumping the JR. Work out a point at which his OD is good enough but u have enough cap room to add more JR and DR.
