Game 3 - vs: Malaysia: WIN: 84 - 79 (55933)

WHAT A WIN! Don't get me wrong, I was starting to panic once Malaysia started hot in the fourth quarter but was relieved when we had the ball with 2 seconds to go with the scores at 84 - 76. Despite getting both GDP guesses correct, we couldn't expand our points differential on the standings as Malaysia's backup PF hit a BuzzerBeater at the end of the game. All in all, it is a big win but there must still be work to be done.

Nice win mate. I had a bid on Goddard, would've gone a bit further if I knew he was any use to you!! Hopefully gets trained at his new house.

Thanks! Saw the bid and was contemplating whether or not to add him to the team as it would attract buyers to him but I went all in for the win and it worked out I guess.

Game 4 - vs: Singapore: WIN: 96 - 83 (55935)

Get in! We threw everything into our matchup with a strong Singapore team who were undefeated this season and were rewarded with a great 13 point win. Unfortunately we were unable to extend our points differential as Singapore threw some amazing 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter but a great win nonetheless!

Really nice win bud. Great job. Hopefully with a few of us training hard, we will be strong for the next few seasons.

I know Hoddy is training guards and I'm training bigs, so we should have a really good side in a couple of seasons.

Great game mate. Appreciate for the regards as a strong team. It's been a long while since we were a Juggernaut.

Scrimmage: vs Bahamas - WON: 120 - 92

We continued with our good form with a 28 point win against the Bahamas. Despite our opponents being a fairly lower ranked team, they gave their everything which was seen through their amazing outside shooting. This was the first week where ALL our players had a GS of 8-9 and I hope that that continues into the next few weeks which is detrimental for our success this season.

Game 5 - vs: Macau: LOSS: 93 - 98 (55943)

We fall to a tricky Macau team after a run of wins. We still progress to the second stage of the tournament though despite this loss but it may mean that we progress as possibly the fourth seed from our group (depending on who wins in the Singapore vs Malaysia game).
