We were basically playing against ourselves, we performed quite shakily, with lots of turnovers. Still, we played with solid heart and team cohesion and were able this way to cover our weaknesses. Bosnia wasn't anything of a serious team, and we were lucky to be playing with a small team like that so that we could start rolling out our defensive and offensive strategies in real-game time situations. We're still not knocking back the 3's like we should, and I really can't excuse our missed free throws YET AGAIN. WTF is wrong with Hellas players and free throws? I certainly cannot excuse a guard to miss free throws, especially when they are of experienced caliber like Nikos Zisis...
