Our opposition just got an enthusiasm reset. Oh well...


Yep, that's part of the documented rules: (/BBWeb/rules.aspx?nav=NationalTeams)

There will be a national team enthusiasm reset during the offseason between the qualifiers and the World Championships, and an additional reset for the automatic qualifiers directly before the World Championships.

Is Bussières in inept GS our best option starting at PG? (I know he's good, but that good?)

An unfortunate loss. Congrats to Australia on apparently successfully guessing we would go with a Run and Gun offense after only playing it 11 out of our last 12 games.

But, hey, Joly got 33.

our previous game where we didn't do that we lost horribly. Then again, we improved our enthusiasm. We were coming with really bad enthusiasm in.

And yes, there aren't many PG around... ask the NT21 what options he has

the starting PG that i've used a couple of times with the U21's looks pretty good at this pont for a 20 yr old pg. if he gets alot of training focus he should help the full national team by the time he's 22 i hope. he currently is playing in Germany in the top division there. also the guy i've used at backup pg a couple of times is 21 already and close to the other guy, but a year older. he is playing in US division III right now on a strong team.

i would love to be able to find another really strong pg, but haven't at this point. hopefully a good 19 year old or another 20 year old will pop up to fill end after the 21's move on after qualifying this season.

I applaud you for taking the high road, but I think you've dodged the question. Yes, we're not loaded with PGs, but Dupré put up a considerably better rating as a sub. I'm sure Joly could handle PG as well and you could slot in someone else at SG.

Starting Bussières and the R&G auto-tactics both give the appearance that you're mailing it in here.

I am fine with the offensive tactics (maybe we can lull some team into playing a 1-3-1 and breakout a look inside), but I am unaware of any player who should be playing (much less starting) in inept game shape for a first division Canadian team. So not sure how one could start for a national team even if there are no other true point guards.

We were coming with really bad enthusiasm


Wasn't enthusiasm reset right before this game?

Only for the teams that automatically qualified. The second-chance qualifiers only had the reset from the beginning of the season.
