Well, that was a nailbiter.
(39764) And we almost walked away with the 6th win in a row. With 17 seconds to go, we pulled ahead for the first time in what seemed like ages, but with 4 seconds to go we defended but didn't get hold of the rebound. And with 0.0 seconds to go, they scored the buzzerbeater. To bad - since we were playing without three 21 year olds. The Latvian manager first didn't want to allow us with any 21 year olds, but they have a different player base there and more young players to choose from than Scotland does (for now!!). So I agreed that I was allowed to start one 21 year old (Adamson Fraser who came up big with 46 points) and one as a backup (Douglas MacMurray who has been a big help througout the season). Unfortunately, LA-Lakeris guessed that I wanted to give Adamson Fraser another huge game to make the Top 10 on the all-time scoring list. Without his right guess at the GDP, we probably would have won. But on the other hand, we gave them a real fight, kept the game very close and without our two 21 year olds, we wouldn't have been as close as we got. So they definitely deserved the win - even though I also like to win a lot ...
We had a HUGE debut by Adam MacKean who has worked very hard this season and definitely earned the starting spot at Center with his 9 ups so for. We definitely will be missing Ross Phillipson, Boyd Coltrane & Co - but we have some talent that's ready to fill the spot. Thanks also to McWinston for pointing out to me that Adam might be ready to join the team - he definitely is: 14 boards, 10 points for a double-double and an additional 2 blocks and 1 steal are a bright hope for the future of the team.
We have one more game with this years 21 year olds - and I have decided to use it as a last game since I already am prepared for next season and don't see why those "old" guys shouldn't be allowed to play another game ... the only problem will be finding a team to match up against ... maybe the turkish u21 will be up for the game. At the moment they are playing our friends from korea - and korea is leading by 1 point ... it seems that our 3 matches have helped both of our teams improve quite a bit...
Stay tuned for the last game of the season - and always keep feeding me updates of your players via BB-Mail!
Have a great week, everyone!
Cheers, Wendell
