Giannis has to represent NBA in China from 15-20 of August and he will miss the two friendly games in UK.

Not too bad. He will rest his knee even more and he will skip two more unimportant friendly games.
He is also very popular in China!

Missing too many games could be also problematic as he needs gametime to get into chemistry with the team.

Also, what he gonna do in China, like events or what?

Nah UK is very weak and we also have the Acropolis tournament after that. Plus the group stage of the Eurobasket is like another preparation stage for us.

Yeah events, interviews etc. It will not be his first time there btw.

Our biggest advantage like ive said, he gets either fouled of triple teamed which creates huge openings.

Pappas has highjacked the offense the Rose way...
Sloukas same time 1/1 3pt ... Rest of the team 0/7 3pt

Giannis took 4 player son him and gave sweet pass.

Much better defense now, good pressure.

Our Coach is **** .
I am pessimistic about his skills at this level.
I know he has coached U18 NT, women NT ...
But he hasn't ever coached a contender or a Euroleague team. I think he is stuck in the 80s like Kidd. Don't understand why Sloukas the starting PG of the Euroleague Champions is not a starter and not a 30min player. He is the only PG who can shoot on/off the dribble or high pick n roll.

He looks good physically but a little rusty gameplay wise which is normal since it's his first game in fiba rules after a whole year.

He has 13-6-2 in 13 mins so far.

Im still confused on why we dont use High screen PNR to create openings or post Giannis miss match

Magic Giannison · Post #238 » by **Magic Giannison** » Fri Aug 11, 2017 8:14 pm

The guy guarding Giannis fouled out in 14 minutes guarding him lol

Fotis St · Post #239 » by **Fotis St** » Fri Aug 11, 2017 8:14 pm

Another brain fart foul from Pappas

greekbuck34 · Post #240 » by **greekbuck34** » Fri Aug 11, 2017 8:15 pm

I'm pretty sure this Djuricic guy had all his 5 fouls on Giannis trying to prevent getting dunked on.
