This was a nice win for us. I checked the history and we've actually beaten Australia twice before. In S3 and S19.

We play NZ next and they will be desperate. They need to beat us or Australia to advance. Expect a CT from them.

Someone has offered to make out National Team banners for us. Any suggestions on what should be included, color scheme, etc?

Colour scheme absolutely should be red/white. I think a 'torii' of some kind would be appropriate?

Great win tonight, especially given:
"New Zealand put more into this game than Nippon."

Our bigs did VERY well, but Kishita's gotta do better on the FT line! This week/last week: simply abysmal.

Crushed by China. I guess we weren't going to win them all.

FAIL

We missed 17 free throws, we have pretty bad game shape, probably some bad management as well. As a result we lost to Korea of all teams. Total failure.

We could really use some FT training. That's basically been the difference in the last two losses.


EDIT: Just to be clear, I blame myself as much as the FT for the loss. We should beat Korea even with 50% free throw shooting.

I blame GS as well. I was wondering why Yasujiro wasn't playing of late - and then a look at the roster told me the story.
GS is pretty shyte across the board.

FTs - K-Mat's pretty good there. But on him... not sure why he'd start at C. Your call, of course. Interested to hear if there's any reason for it.

Sorry for the slow response. Been a busy week.

On the injury, its tough for us but its out of your control, so don't worry about it. At least its only 1 week.

Matsumoto, you're right he's better as a PF. With Yasujiro's GS being so bad I was looking for a way to fill the C spot. Maybe would have been better with Kishita at C despite his limitations..... Will look to deploy a different strategy from here. More like what worked well before.

That last loss was a set back. If we win out we may still have a chance to advance with Indonesia already having two losses and Australia still plays Hong Kong and us. Do our best.

We play our final game of this round against Australia tonight. We need to win the game by 41 Points to advance. That's going to be a really tough task.

If we hadn't lost that game to Korea then all we would need now is a win. That loss is still tough to swallow.

In the last two weeks we've gotten 4 pops on FT, Thanks everyone for adding some focus there to improve this weakness.
