The other thing that's gotta be a relative positive (for JBBL) is that there is a string of guys in Div II keen to get there. Perhaps our teams aren't quite up to it (no kidding!), but there are half a dozen or more teams who are keen and prepared to do the work to get there. Hell, we've got 4 solid candidates in II.1 alone (and there are more across the other Div IIs)...

If the draw was the other way around then you, YC and I would have to CT to progress (or at least have a chance to)....

I'm happy with my B3 performance stats today so unless there are silly foul-outs or injuries tomorrow should be a cracker.

On the surface, i would say that home games save us a CT...but if you really think about it, its dangerous for us.

Very easy to rely too much on home court and think its enough. But all things considered, im pretty freaking glad to be playing this one at home.

Somebody let me a hold a no. 2 pencil cause they testin' me.

Not sure if I'm right in saying this but if we had a larger userbase would the quarter-finals also be on neutral court? To CT your quarter is not that bad given that we enter the Allstar week so, CT - League (almost certain loss if you advance in cup) - Cup CT, Cup CT..... still might be powerful enough if the other semi finalists advanced in the same way.

Lots of permutations..... I'm hoping that my Russian Crowd Specialist and almost namesake (Sherman) can help give me the 1 point extra needed!

Ha - i thought it would be best to set my orders.... managed to do so with about 6 mins to spare!!

No surprises from me.... similar to my B3 last night... if I get beat by his CT then fair play....... my mins should be ok as I had 2 favourable league games this week (unlike Stunners away this Sat!)

Very unhappy ending to my cup. That wasn't even close.

What did you expect? You were on the road and you didn't CT?

Sorry - didn't want to come across as blunt... you had a great cup run and you are having a great season... i am sure you will benefit from this experience and will only continue going from strength to strength....

So I have a minimum of Swoosh & Stunners this week.......

I guess I will lay down my predictions for this round....

Japan Rank
#1. Sharman vs. #4. Swoosh
I like Swoosh in this game. It won't easy for him but he will win by 3-7 points. And Swoosh still has a million in the bank...does he pull the trigger on a new player or does he keep the same line up that got Yoks tonight? Either way...It will come down to the benches, and Sharman doesn't have one..

#3. Kitakyushu vs. #7. Fumoffu
I like the Headhunters in this one. Could be close at half but I see a 25 point beat down in Fumoffu's future. Kitakyushu went out and got a new big for the second half of the season, does Fumuoffu do the same thing? He will need to to win. Hey, making it to the final 4 isn't bad, and getting smacked up by the Headhunters is something he can write home about....
