Quarter Final 3: France vs Greece

[Fivepack]

I know it's a tough one but I'm pretty sure that our guys will give their 101% and will be extremely passionate!!!

I think that if we do what we do best which is tough defense, we have good chances of qualifing!!

Also, a key factor will be rebounds.

The match-up defense we play is allowing many times to the opponents grabbing a great amount of offensive rebounds! Just block-out guys!!!

I can only laugh at the score. Fifty six points is not a good enough score for this level of basketball. Inexperience was the obvious factor. Parker and his miscreants were contained for 33 minutes. A good job, but not good enough by any means.

If we had a couple of more experienced players, we would've easily defeated the best French team in the last 15 years. They can't shoot from the arc for shit, as it was obvious today. That and too much roster rotation because of limited options available to Zouros also cost us. You don't rotate a player or players that are smoking hot.

We need to change our philosophy so as to keep up with the modern game. A more offencive game should be the objective. We also need to attain an average of 80 ppg and NO less, if we're to progress. Simply not good enough.

If we play Serbia like we did France today, we will lose again. I won't signal out any particular player, but we need a couple of more experienced players added to the roster. Around 4 or 5 players are below par for this level of competition. They put in a good effort and I can't take that away from them. We'll see...
