Half-time, we're up by a single point. It's a very close game, we were down 5 points in the 2nd but went up +5 before their last minute comeback.
We're out-rebounding them 29-24, but Katem (their C) is 5 for 6 so as soon as he gets a shot it's pretty much 2 points guaranteed for them. Only one player (SF) in foul trouble in their team - 4 fouls already, while our starter SG Ross gets 3. Shouldn't be too much of a problem hopefully.
Badham, Paz and Mourikis gets the job done, but FG% is poor... Don't know what to expect for 2nd half honestly!

Edit: as a side note, Argentina didn't set their lineups!

3 minutes left, down 2 points. Ross is out, Mourikis stopped only taking rebounds and started scoring. Still very undecided, fingers crossed!

Edit: what a stressful game, a really important defensive rebound 6 seconds from the end and we ended up taking it!
Next step senegal, and in 2 weeks Latvia for the great finale.

We'll need stellar gameshape, they have a really good roster depth so we'll need everyone as GS 8 or 9 for what will surely be the most important game of the season.

Player of the game : Mourikis
He took rebounds in the first half and fouled out his opponent quite early in the game. After that he started to score really important 3s while still taking rebounds.
The rest of the team wasn't half bad either, showing how balanced she is with equal GS. They are not the most talented players, but there's something about them!

Wow, that was a close one!
Turns out the effort used was right as any other choice would have resulted in a loss. I really do hope that was TIE though

Second game in the pocket, a strong win against an obviously weaker opponent. A bit too much turnovers for my liking but the rest is good.
In the meantime Latvia won against Malaysia so next week will be the final showdown. I don't expect to win that one (and on paper we shouldn't, we're behind in skills, gameshape and enthusiasm) but maybe we can pull something of, not sure what yet but I'm working on it!
If anybody wants to pitch in on that one, my BB-mailbox is wide open, fill that sucker up!

Well I'm really proud of all the current players managers! I didn't think I could have such a great response, we got a very good gameshape update!
Now it's all or nothing. I won't CT because that would cost us too much in the future worlds or consolation tournament, but I definitely want to try something unusual. Shoot me some bb-mails if you want to discuss that. It's risky but could be highly rewarding

You want to do something really great for us? Go ahead and buy an awesome latvian guard (and in the meantime ruin his gameshape) (43519346). Auction ends tomorrow.

Bonus question: do you think it's frowned upon for a U21 coach to buy another U21 player right before a game against that team? I mean it's fair game right?

It has happened before. It's in the U21 manager's best interest at the start of the season to indicate "Please hang onto your player for the entire season"

Player is listed, anybody can pick him up, even if you want to just flip him right away.
Whatever it takes, right? ;)

Yeah whatever it takes ;)
He's a great player, but probably 1mil to expensive. I won't be able to flip him, I'll need to train him for 3-4 seasons to get anything back but yeah why not
