Greece NT for Eurobasket 2009

[gambit]

Diamantidis and Papaloukas and Giannakis were all holding Greece back during the last 2 summers. They played way too slow. Two very methodical point guards and a grind it out old school coach. Also playing numerous players against their strengths and out of position just to accommodate Papaloukas and Diamantidis.



Now that those 3 are gone, Greece will finally be able to score the basketball when they need to.

Don't you think that the slow pace game is better for Greece? Greece doesn't have that many athletic talent's for a fast game. even their athletic talent's (Vassilopoulos, Printezis and Perperoglou) isn't that good, I prefer Bouroussis, Papaloukas and Diamantidis (that play slow pace game) over this athletic players. Greece athletic talent can't match Spain athletic talent for instance, in my opinion it is better for Greece to fight against Spain with their best tool's - size, physical game and pick'n'roll - that are linked to slow paced game.
