YES!!! Third place in our group and it's possible that we will surpass Germany and Croatia.

Great game! You really squeeze great performances out of every player.

Game 4: Sweden (43) 117:105 Danmark (35)

An important win for us because with this we moved up to the third playce. And thanks to this we can still finish as second. We have to win the next three games and than see if we can finish as second or stay third because of the point diference.
Both european teams in front of us in the ranking lost. Germany will fall behind us, Crotia propably too. Turkey lost also against Austria. They are 11.3 pts in front of us. This should be in our reach. The best result we can achieve for us today is the 20th place! So let's see tomorrow how far we will climb

MVP: Sommarborg. Strong shooting performance and a beast at the boards. He was the only player with double digit rebounds and a double double today.

Teamwork: The bench players made the difference today. 8-17 FG for the five back ups says enough.

We gave away 11 free throws today... again. This hurts us every game.

Standing: 15.12.2015

15,8 points and FIVE ranks!!! We moved up by five ranks... And this means we are in the third group now.
That's a huge jump and I really hope that we can move up a little bit more this season. Two of the other five teams in our third group will be eliminated after this round. If we manage to move to second place, we should reach rank 13-15 in Europe.

I'm really looking forward to see how far we can get as well. Personally i really like the new NT coaches (Both Nachtmahr and Jacob_F) because they brings new energy and motivation to the forums aswell as the game itself and training players. And it feels like Nachtmahr really is putting a lot effort into it, perhaps a bit more than the NT coaches before him, and although i think they did a great job, they wasn't putting in the same effort and wasn't as strategic when it comes to ranking and even tactics where he's extremly good. So really, i think we can climb almost into top 30 if not higher if Nachtmahr keeps it up. Because really, our NT team isn't more than mediocre. And the U21 is doing alright as well, although we seem to loose half the games in OT.. ;)

;)

Yes, I saw this too. Let's see what we can do today.

Game 5: Luxembourg (75) 96:135 Sweden (37)

Today we got our third win for this season. With a +39 we managed to move up to 3:2 and +43 dif. We will stay third behind Poland and Slovenija and we have still the possibility to move to second place on the last game day.
Taking a look at the ranking in europe:
Behind us, Danmark, Belarus, Germany, Croatia and Turkey lost. So we managed to widen the gap. In front of us, 3 of the 5 opponents from our group 3 lost: Russia, Hungary and Lithuania. With some luck we could surpass Lithuania for the 17th place in europe.
Bottim line: a very nice game day for us.

MVP: Martinsson. After so much critc from my side... today he exploded and finished with a 12-15 FG performance! That's 80%!!! I hope he knows I expect this from now on every game day ;)

Teamwork: 10 players with 20-28 minutes and 8 of them finished with double digits.

7 missed free throws... that's 40 pts in 5 games now which we gave away... Just imagine what would be possible if the NT had scored them
