Quote:Rotation, even for our smoking hot players, was unavoidable.
The thing is that once again Zouros FORGOT his best player(in this game) on the bench once again.
On the other hand though, Koufos didn't replace Bourousis deservedly.
Vasileiadis is on the team because we think he can shoot. Just one man, it was that difficult?!?!
Bramos was the protagonist at the game's turning point. That's when he fould a French guy, at the same time De Colo scored for two and Bramos' foul turned into a 3 pointer. That play changed everything.
I think it was a big mistake for Zouros to make a 10 player rotation in the most important game in the tournament(until that time!).
If we had to learn something from FYROM's win is that you can win a game even with a 6-7 player rotation.
Damn Zouros. I hope you'll be awake for 40 minutes tomorrow!!
You make some good points Theo. But, to us this was a final. And in the face of friggin adversity, you need to take risks, like it or not. You need to keep the players hammering the opposition and doing well, as well as throw in the kitchen sink on the court if necessary. We also need a match winner right now. We don't have one on this roster. Not one!!!
We need an excellent number 3 , which we don't really have, and Zizis is a good player but definitely NOT a great number 1. Calathes isn't ready to take on the playmaker role yet. Serbia will be difficult, I don't think we can beat them, but I hope they prove me wrong. Not on today's performance anyway.. Zouros needs to focus on offence and 3 point shooting as well..You saw the dissmal performance in offence today!!
