Close game for me yesterday too. It was a game basically all the way, I even went on a 9-0 run after starting the 4th quarter with a 0-8 run. LIDLs offence was just slightly too efficient when it mattered. I think the experience different was probably key, gotta remember I'm a young team (probably equally a positive in different ways?), and probably 1 or 2 pieces away still.
Also, what is it about my team that makes Osman show up on defence? 8 blocks yesterday, 8 blocks in a game against me last season too and I've gone back to season 26 and I can't see that he's ever done it elsewhere.
Tough conference I'm in this year - I've definitely improved on last year's team, yet I'm 2-2 and looking at playing the top 3 next. If I get one win from them it'll be big...
