It is annoying but look at it this way. You were up 17 mid way through the 3rd and lost seems unreasonable. Miami were up 15 with 7 minutes and 12 seconds to go in the 4th and lost. How must they feel?

I don't think real life analogies apply...

Sigh...
Looks like we're in for a few more changes. I'd guess 3 from the Big 8 are MIA, and Team Japan in the Great 8 is now a bot.
Not good... I think perhaps some of those that are joining up, have unrealistic expectations of what's going to happen. One of the difficulties a small nation faces.
We could do more tho'. Sometimes I PM 'em and let them know I'll help if they like... not like I'm any expert - but I am aware of some of the pitfalls a new guy'll face.
Perhaps we should work a bit on our support?

We could.

Big week in the Great 8 with just % between NKRK and KS, and with NKRK playing the Fighters it could be the long awaited chance to take 3rd for KS. Big game Tuesday!

I don't know who would have been more surprised Otaku or me about the surprise upset. Kurogane was finally in great shape and had a dominating night with 16 REB, 4 BLK and 31 PTS. He finally gives me the good balance I have wanted. Now inside or outside is good.

A few weeks of JS now and I hope to get my frst trainee to sensational this week. Very exciting.

Damnit, nice win. A bit disappointed, but I'm definitely way outgunned against you.

Coming that close against him, I would consider that a win. Look at your PD and record then look at the Big 8. If you were there you would be 2nd.

Mid-way through the second, we were tied. I went to dinner, came back and I was down 17! Ugh... that late-second-quarter killed me.
It's hard for me to be patient, but reality is I'm still a season or two away from getting to where I want to be (but I want to be there *now*!).

Big week coming up. And you have a HUGE game the following game as well! Potentially, you can still finish second...
Stuff's tight!

NKRK followed by Sapporo. At least you can be sure I wont CT you if I have any dream of taking the double. But Sapporo is way ahead of me in reality. You however are in my target. You are in bad luck as maybe 4/5 starters can be in proficient GS. This may be the game that says who has to take on Sapporo first round and lose and who takes Otaku and probably loses too, but by less.

My guards get better every week but always more is wanted, more passing more jump range more jump shot more defence. It never is at an end. But in two seasons they will have the quality to challenge the big teams and hopefully a good balance of skills as well to be cost effective.

Damn, it nearly happened yet again.
There were some DAMN confusing moves by my coach... and by the game. My starting center fouls out (he has an estimated salary-worth of around 27 thousand). Your starting C (admittedly 5 thou' more) doesn't get a single foul. Kurogane is good, but he's not that much better than Kopsas.
Down by 3, the *coach* takes out my best player with 3 minutes to go, and holds him out until less than a minute to go (he has 1 foul, and is scheduled to play the whole game).
But some how, up by 1 with less than 20 seconds to go. THEN... my SG (Perez) who has had a shyte game, fouls on a shot with 8 seconds to play. Kyoto scores twice, bang. Down 1, with 8 seconds to go.
Who do we go to for the final shot? Perez (the aforementioned SG who has had a shyte game - and only shot 6-18). He hits a buzzer-beater. We win. By a point.

Ouch man, you probably deserved a win given how the last quarter played out (I still maintain the performance of my center was off)... but I'll take it!
