So you would rather have 2 or 3 levels better at OD but 3 less at IS,ID and REB? Like I said....Asano was -2 for his 19 minutes. yeah, that is still a - but better than a -20 that Furuzawa put up. But don't worry about Asano...he is a work in progress and will only get better every Friday.

This match show how weak are our players. Canada isn't top team even in America (I think Canada is 5-8th the best team in America or something like that). In today's match game shape was the same, enthusiasm was the same, tactic was the same, so only factors were skills and effort. So we can see that our skills are too low to beat similar teams even by using CT vs TIE.

B.B. King is right on this one. Im used to always seeing at least a rating > 12.5 for Yasujiro...when i see him at 11.5, i know that means he was out classes.

Simply put...the salaries on the nt are too small...only 5 salaries over 100k.

Salaries arent all that matters, be we all know that Passing, Inside Scoring, and rebound cost. There is no way around that.

On a CT, our inside scoring and rebound basically matched Canada on a TIE.

Im in BB King's corner on this one. These Repecharge games are a clear indicator of the weakness of the Japan NT.

We need stupendous rebounders, phenomenal JS, stupendous passers...ALL that well trained. We are far from that.


So i say either you are training the solution, or you need to back off. marvelous is just not good enough as a primary skill at this level...

BBKIng still has my YES vote. I like the fact that he is running the Younger guys.

I agree.

The fact that we are doing this much without the old washed up guys taking mins is a success.

This should be CELEBRATED.

Im not trying to pick a fight with you wolph, but you using the Sharman formula. Not saying good or bad, but you are winning while not contributing training to the nt team.

My question to you is this. do you have a Japanese player on your roster with (or possible inside of 2 training weeks)

1) Level 16 ID + 16 IS
2) Level 16 ID + 16 REB
3) Level 16 OD + 16 passing
4) Level 16 OD + 16 JS

Do you have a level 16 ID or OD on your roster? Because if you do, or did, i cant see why BB King would not use him. The fact that he is even using Hayakawa shows the despiration of the team.

An atrocious OD/ID anywhere is a clear sign of desperation. And truth is, Yasujiro shouldnt even be playing with his skill being where they are...but Yasujiro has better ID, OD, Passing than Furuzawa...not to lawd my guy, but to show the desperation of the situation.

We are in the repecharge for the first time in my experience playing this game...Im sorry, but im going to side with BB King.

This is a decision based strictly on the fact that we are playing meaningful games this season...

But there's the rub wolph, we've had the best finish for a damn long time in the NT - and you want to have the coach drawn and quartered.

If it's *whateverz*, perhaps stop beating the very dead horse.

I never game him 2 position ID. IF he got ID from me, he got single position. That's what's up.

You spent a number of weeks where he got two position trianing in skills where 1 position is available..

I have no clue to what you are talking about...Asano has gotten 1 position ID the whole time....1 week he missed out on the minutes(had 45 at C and 6 at PF), so that week I trained two position IS. I don't know where you got this info but it is wrong. When I bought Asano off you he had strong JS and OD and average IS and ID and MEDIOCRE REB. Which I had to fix.

So you would rather have 2 or 3 levels better at OD but 3 less at IS,ID and REB?

It surely doesn't say Tusnami.
Now, I have no clue to why you wrote this post, I wasn't trying to compare Asano to Tsunami. You were talking about what skills a SF should have.
And then you write...

Let's just say when I play you for the rest of our careers I hope Asano starts at SF for you. I'll look forward to no 3pt threat and hitting 3s and dropping dimes like mad crazy.

Wow!! You are a strange fella, I'll give you that.
Strange indeed.

Wasn't there a GS and Enthusiam reset? Maybe that is the difference in ratings...all players are at Level 7 GS and all teams are at 5 ENT right now...You are comparing apples and oranges.
