And Asano was in contract talks with his new shoe sponsor. He went with Addidas. So he was in Germany signing the 10 million $ deal. They said screw D. Rose.....they know Asano won't take the year off!!

Hmmm... given Swoosh's statement as to his plans, I think the "full squad" thing is a bit of an apologist excuse.


I do think it's completely stupid of BB to have a game scheduled THAT CLOSE to a manager being elected (my first game as the Welsh U21 manager, I didn't even have time to get line-ups set. We forfeited - I was P**SED!).

Few things.

Not your fault for the loss, no time to really do anything.

We do have PGs for eg Kawagichi is surely a decent backup at least & has better secondaries than I have seem on some other teams starting PGs for sale but his primaries are lower.

The reason we lost was Yokotami taking 17 shots & making 3, he needs to take less or sit, we need Matsumoto & Furusawa scoring they are our stars.

Where is Furusawa?

My order will be way off the others so feel free to ignore it I have some beliefs about the game that few here share that I have mainly stolen from the USA forums :)

PG: OD PA DR HA ID JS JR IS SB RE
SG: OD PA JS JR DR ID HA IS SB RE
SF: OD ID RE PA DR JS IS HA JR SB
PF: IS ID RE JS OD SB PA DR HA JR
C: IS ID RE SB DR PA JS OD HA JR

Good job with your short list of the players. Can't wait to see the depth chart.

There were a few others who had bad shooting nights too...

Where are Sonoda and Kouzuki?
