In the last game Gettys recorded impressive double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Shinagawa lost that game 69-90 to the higher-ranked Yokohama EX (#11, 12-26). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Shinagawa keeps 14th position. 37 lost games are too many comparing to just five victories Shinagawa managed to get this year. Gettys is one of the most experienced players at Shinagawa and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.4ppg (#6).

He was a key player of Yokohama EX, leading his team to a 90-69 easy win against the lower-ranked Shinagawa (#14, 5-37). The chances of Yokohama EX not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 26 games, recording just twelve victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Copeland could try to bring Yokohama EX's a little bit higher in the standings. Copeland has a very solid season. In 32 games in Japan he scored 14.3ppg.
