It certainly is, but right now I'm investing in Canadian youth and can't afford to train foreign talent ;)

90 minutes before the game, players are starting their warmup, it's going to be a blood bath tonight!

10 minutes to go, all bets are off! I went with a CT (our enth was 8, so will go down to 4, not that much different from the 5 we would have with the "partial reset" rule after the repechage), and a patient with Abel Paz @ PF (Zidanenko as his backup). On defense, I went with a 2-3 zone to hopefully limit their rebounds, that worked great against Malaysia.

They went with normal and a Low Post. Pretty standard stuff.
Didn't want to guess wrong as they tend to switch strategies a lot and they have a guard with high GS+DMI.
We'll see how it goes. Right now we're ahead by 1 point :D

I see you placed a bid on Pavliuk too. How serious are you about getting him? ;)

Serious enough at 3mil, but not much more ;)

Edit: We're taking water, we went from 7-6 to 7-17 in 3 minutes :S
Make it 7-19

Consolation tournament, but we'll start with a 0-2 record, almost impossible to make it to the playoffs and be the last american team standing to host the america's championship next season. The draw is too much of a gamble to have any chance of making it. Especially with opponents like the USA that are losing against Italia right now, and could also end up in the consolation tournament.

At the end of the first quarter we're down by 10 points, we came back a bit to -5 with 2 minutes remaining but the made a 3 right before the end of the quarter to push us back to -10

-21 at half time. That one's over folks! Now let's see what we can do in the consolation tournament... and let's hope that the US make it to the worlds!

Final score 110-86. Somehow the US are winning (very interesting game), so that's one less thing to worry about!

Well somehow we got lucky again with our draw...! I think we can reasonably expect 5 victories in the next 6 games, which should qualify us to the playoffs. Mexico, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay have the edge over us though, as they all have a 2-0 record already.
Let's take it game by game and see what comes out of it...!
