BuzzerBeater Forums

Game shape is a good & realistic feature remember how banged up Kobe was a couple of seasons ago, he was still playing but his game shape was bad & he couldn't perform at his best. There are exceptions though, Jordan when on the dream team on the day of the gold medal game stayed up all night playing table tennis & cards, then did a film shoot, squeezed in 36 holes of golf & just made it to the team bus in time but not in time to get his shoes. He still went out & smashed Croatia. Maybe the randomness of buzzerbeater game shaps is this.

This is the best & most competitive season I can rememer, I am way down in 5th but I think I could have a chance to beat anyone except Stunners. But it was great to see Okayama Chon take out Stunner's B team helps you right?

By next season the 2 biggest problems with Buzzerbeater will be fixed, the LI domination & buying players the day before a big game. I think you should be happy with these chnges making things more realistic.

Well, we took one on the chin tonight.

gear up and keep the train movin.

It looks like the Singapore game becomes a must win....Malaysia has two easy games left, so they will have more PD than us.

Sigh...

That was rough. I thought we were going to win it there at the end - it had begun to feel inevitable. For them to win it on a shot with 3 seconds to go, hit by a guy who had gone 1-8 for the evening... well, that was just nasty.

Hey.....I have to agree with Malice....that was one heck of a game.
It sucks that Asano got scored on at the buzzer....he had a +9 up until that bucket, finished with a +7.
I am more pissed by the 4 missed FTs, those hurt!!
Next week will be huge..

If that's what Tsunami feels, perhaps he could work on his FG%...

WATCHING the game (as YC/Swoosh/I did), that was a good performance towards the end. It's interesting... Furusawa often keeps us in games, but I don't think he's got too many more seasons as a stalwart of the team. Even now, often our best passages of extended play *seem* to come when he's on the bench. That last run - it was Yasujiro/K-Mat at the bigs. And for 30 glorious seconds (during the Singapore time-out with Japan up 94-93), they had achieved the seemingly impossible...

On a personal level, even tho' K-Mat only played 18 min, I was happy with his play. He came up big at the end with7 points in 49 seconds (as did Yasujiro - come up big). Neither were perfect - both made slips - but it's getting to that point where maybe we can bid the past goodbye.
