Ok. I got ONE response in both callup thread and gameday thread. Got to love the activity. Can somebody enlighten me what do you guys want to be done in order to be more actively involved?

I think just more consistent posting on there would help. There's been basically no activity there lately with the NT, so people probably don't even bother checking any more. Also, it's a pretty boring season so far, hopefully interest will pick up a bit once we get to the next round and games start to matter more.

Well, Brazil game cerainly wasnt a sure win (although boxscore indicates otherwise), and neither is next weeks game. I agree first couple of games were boring, although very informative. Season is starting to pick up now though.

Another day in the office. A win against Uruguay, new tactic tested. There were couple glitches but valuable knowledge was gained. Schedule for next round is up. Next game is Argentina. Really like our group and game schedule. We will know after a first week whether my optimism is justified.

More on our group some time this week on the offsite. Starting monday I am moving to 12 hour a day work schedule so wont be as active but will still make sure to put up a thread before game that has any risk of losing on the offsite.

Well, that one was closer than I would have liked. Could get ugly if they used different tactic on offense or if I screwed up GDP. A win is a win though....most likely LI is not enough to beat our opponents even if they guess GDP.

Ok guys, next week is going to be huge!
And I am not talking about our game here (game thread will be posted saturday evening or sunday morning) but about Chile-Argentina. The goal this round is to secure promotion as early as possible so I guess we should be rooting for Chile to win.

Thanks.

For this week: lets just say our GS could be better (one of my players also took a week off and is in poor shape). I am hoping that for Chile we will have more luck with GS. Game plan to appear on the offsire saturday around 8-9pm for anyone who is interested

Very short and precise thread about Venezuela on off-site forum. All suggestions welcome, especially in weeks when I have absolutely no time for anything (next 20 days most likely)

ehhh, 2-11 for a start?

Ok. From the chat it looks like I did a mistake. They are playing pricneotn vs our 'inside' guess. Also Argentina so far beating Chile. Unless its a CT its a terrible news. So far 28-31 in our game

Good news guys! We managed to turn it back on in 2nd half and won comfortab;y 90-71. I hope that was our worst game in the tournament because our offense was abysmal. So many missed bunnies and FT...... Luckily defense held up even though I predicted GDP wrong (reasons for that in the offsite, but basically I thought the only risk of losing will be if they play inside, we dont, and they get perfect GDP so wanted our asses to be covered in that case).

What I am really dissapointed with is that only morwood stopped by (and unfortunately it was at a moment when I had to go get some files so couldnt reply to him and he left). For comparison, Venezuela had 5 guys there having conversation. Big contrast and shows lack of activity.

Anyway, back to the game. Other matches played into our favor. Chile won after a late comeback and a 3OT thriller. If you think that one OT inflates the stat go check the boxscore and see what3OT does to NT........scary stuff.

In other group USA won vs Colombia 86-80 but I dont think they would have won without GDP. It just shows how strong Colombia is at home. Kind of wish one of those teams was in our group so we could avoid them in semis but it looks like we will have to beat them both on our way to championship (we are not going to be favorites in either game).
