How can you field a team with no PF and expect to win?

I can't believe it! We just had this huge changeover of players on our team and we still don't have any PF on our team! The Memphis Indians just scalped us by 48 points. Hell, we didn't even score 48 points in one half. We played against the best Chinese PF and it showed that we were totally unprepared. Kaitian Meng was a giant among men and it showed. Lets look at the carnage this big boy brought down on our team tonight:
32 points - Which is one point more than our whole team scored in first half of play
13/24 from field including 2/3 3pt compared to our team shooting of 26 -57 and 6/9
23 oreb - How does this happen? Was the guy just playing volleyball off the backboard to himself before he slammed the thing through the rim? Teams have been getting more Oreb vs us then we have been getting Dreb. Something is not right here!
17 Dreb which is 2 more than our entire team

Net result? Kaitian Meng could have beat our entire team by himself! Never mind that 6 other players from Memphis scored in double digits! Oh this is so embarassing.

I know this was not one of my best games I have played and I am not proud of the results I had in this game. I have to call out the coaching staff here! The personel decisions have been ...well stupid comes to mind but I think that is being too kind! In the second half of play, our two starting PG totaled less than 7 minutes combined. Without insulting Lukas Tamosiunas, the man only managed 1 foul as any stat in the entire 4th quarter!!!!!!! He shot 0/2 and that's ok because at least he shot a couple times to try to score, but every other stat was a goose egg? What the hell? Ariel Carrera had the best game of the PG and deserved more time in the 4th for sure and I can't believe our coaching staff is so blind to not see that.

It seems like the coaching staff and now some of the players are giving up on this team. Three days ago we had something going. Well it's going alright... right out the window. Maybe I am just being bitter about the loss. Maybe I am looking ahead to the whomping the Detroit Turtles are about to give us tonight. I will be facing the second ranked PG in the USA and his back up is not slouch. With Egils Treicmanis at PF and Connor Richardson at SG we are gonna have on heck of a game if you like charity basketball type games. Look for the bounce off the opponet's head, dribble backwards for a reverse dunk play... often!

I need a drink!

Now would be a great time to join www.cyberdunk.com
Just make sure you create a PF so my stupid administrators have more of a chance of blindly picking a player we might actually need on our team.
