Korea wasn't a blank, but was related to management decision on how to cover for Yasujiro. Not sure I made the best choice there.

Both Australia games were blanks, by the second one our GS was totally shot. This season our best performances were on blank line-ups. The game engine clearly runs better on that and many of our opponents are running blanks. If you don't use the blank line-up then you're at a disadvantage. Thus why the BBs are trying to alter it. It would probably be better without it.

Not sure I agree... for us. Blanks work when you have many, many options.

Starting line-up (vs Australia):
Amori (scored 2 points)
Ueda (5)
Tsunami (3)
Asano (15)
Kishita (1)

Not sure if there's anywhere I can see the NT averages, but I'd bet most of those guys have competition within the NT that does better.

Additionally, blanks seem to do some very strange things at times with line-ups. Playing players considerably out of position - including (at times) guys like Tsunami at the point.
I think for smaller nations, like us, we have to get creative if we want to compete with the big-boys. Now... I think you've done a pretty good job, but I don't think we're going to see improvement by running blanks/LI.

Not to mention Tom didn't run one single blank and look how he did.

Thank you for the feedback. It makes think through things and consider what are the best options.

I agree with you that the starters that the game engine chooses are less than ideal. I do like how blank does a better job with substitutions but maybe its not maximizing our potential. I'm considering some other approaches that could do a better job.

Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts. Now, back to selecting the team for next season.

Good stuff dude. Ball for your attitude - glad you realize I'm not taking shots at you.

I guess we need a new thread?

But any way... feel really bad for the team tonight - could NOT score well enough. Awful shooting, especially 3pt shooting.

The combination of Matsumoto's injury and Yasuhiro's game shape. It's hard to make up for both of them, they are the keys to our success.

Team continues to struggle without the contributions from our twin towers. Back to back losses in games we should normally win.

I just sent a note to Izaman to hopefully get the situation fixed with Yasujiro but he's only logging in about once a month now. Not sure if this will be resolved anytime soon.

We should get Matsumoto back next week but he may have some GS issues. This season is basically lost now so doesn't really matter. Just need to get in a better spot for next season.
