Opponent: Takamatsu Five Arrows
Location: Home
Opponent Record: 17-9
LakeStars record vs. Opponent: 1-3
Brief: This weekend is very important for us. We have a 1-game lead on 4th place over Fukuoka. Takamatsu is tied with Osaka for second place. Last weekend Takamatsu beat Fukuoka twice. Takamatsu has the leading rebounder in the league, Gordon James. James averages 20 ppg and nearly 15 rpg.
Takamatsu is known as being one of the most stable organizations in the BJ League, carrying two of the same Americans and many of the same Japanese players for the last three years. But recently Takamatsu has undergone some changes. Their center, a dominating force inside (and a good guy off the court) recently suffered a torn ACL. Really unfortunate for him. There are rumors Takamatsu has released one of their other Americans, a big guy who gave us a bit of trouble in the previous games. Takamatsu signed another Japanese player who is averaging 14 points (2 games played). He was playing minor league ball in the States. For a team known for their stability, it's kind of strange to not know who they are bringing this weekend. This will be a very competitive weekend, and both teams have a lot to play for.
