Wow thats an awesome training report

Hmm. Another good week of training. Are you stil planning to make a U21 PF? I think he will be better off being a C. PF is possible, but harder. A Is porbably Salas, B I don't know, and C is Quigs.

Yes, still working towards the U21.
B was Chung Hui

Today Itzik Singer was sold from the back end of the bench for 6k. Singer's career may have taken a different path if Salas hadn't shown up on scene. the 19 year old, will surely have more opportunity elsewhere.

Well, one less trainee to worry about. I got three and I'm training 2.-- Revfi (only these last 2 weeks) and Coleman (my main one). I'll do Kruger as soon as I can.

And the Otherland Champions vs their rival Houston Rocketeers is UNDERWAY!
Both teams with a strong inside game, that try to establish the paint. this one's going to be a tough physical match. Last meeting Otherland on top 104-100

only down 8 at half, despite an UGLY half.
Okeefe for them has 20 pts 6 assists in 1st half, and Satterfield has 19 pts, 11 rebounds in 1st half for them. other notable Daniels 10 mins off bench, 8 points, 6 rebounds 1 assists 2 steals 1 block.

For Otherland, Falcao and Salas both with 12 points in the half.
Falcao adding 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 turnover
Salas adding 5 rebounds 3 steals 1 block, and 2 turnovers.

Huey notable playing 3 minutes hitting 2 3pointers in the clutch for 6 points and 1 assists.

Score at half Otherland 49 - Houston 57
Otherland needs to stop Okeefe if they have any hope to win this one... Okeefe should be well out of his league with Watt, Falcao, and Huey guarding him all game.

Hey, there was no bug after all. They did count the attendence but i could see it yet. Good for me:)

Otherland's playoff chances officially dead as they drop to the Houston Rocketeers 87-106.
3rd quarter Otherland came out flat getting outscored 11-26, but finished strong winning the 4th quarter 27-23.

Otherland outrebounded 60-37... Astounding numbers, coming from the 2 best rebounding teams.
Otherland shot 38% from the floor, while Houston over 50%
Otherland 21 steals on defense helped keep them in the game.

Salas the only Champion with double digit rebounds had a solid performance matched against 2 of the best Inside guys in the league. Satterfield and Hutchinson. Satterfield #4 rebounder in league, Hutchingson #2.

Paul Salas ended the game shooting 11-22 was blocked 8 times!!!!!, and 2-4 at the line for 24 points, 10 rebounds (3 offense) 3 turnovers 4 steals and 1 block. Up against the best of the best bigmen in the league Salas committed only 1 foul!

Julio Falcao fouled out with around 7 to go in the 4th. He left with 17 points on 7-16 shooting, 3-4 at the FT line, with 3 rebounds (2 offense) 7 assists 1 turnover and 5 steals. He also played lights out defense keeping Lin Yingpeng to 2-13 shooting, (8-8 at FT line though). Yingpeng had to be happy when Falcao fouled out... but it did him no good as he couldn't capitalize.

aside from huey who came in and hit 2 3s in the 1st half in 3 minutes, (did nothing in 3 mins in second half). Nobody else on Otherland worth mentioning. Houston put in more effort, and it showed in their W. Next week, looks to be a blowout win for Otherland as they take on the #8 seed Miami Skulls... but looks can be deceiving.
Starters announced for the game are:
PG Huey
SG Zwirski (1st start at SG all season)
SF Barrow
PF Belkhaouos
C Quigley

Hopefully Otherland can bust out of this 3 game losing streak, since they have the 6th pick in the draft clinched, and win the next 2 to have some momentum going into next season.

Well, sorry for the losing streak. But why would you put your backups? They'll already get minutes whn it says Garbage Time. It balances out the minutes pretty well, the leading minutes for my game was 28 by Jakovic. (equal, right)

There's no difference between the majority of my back-ups and my starters. Falcao and Salas are the only ones head and shoulders better than their back-ups. and Salas its arguable... Quigley's pretty solid...

Not dressing tonight for the scrimmage vs the Mountain Eagles are:
Zachharia B.
Julio F.
Paul S.
Stuart W.
