Spanoulis is a terrible coach.

After finding what is working ... he gets back to what was NOT working in the next quarter.

The Calathes + Giannis game on strong side HAS NEVER WORKED FOE THE LAST 10 YEARS .... Get Toliopoulos or any other shooter in the same action..... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa jesus

It just generates, bad shots, airballs and turnovers that lead to opponents easy basket on transition.

The Germans are AGAIN as most teams ... COMMITED TO PACK THE PAINT... when Giannis plays. All traditional 1-5 pick n roll plays aint working with a non shooter guard 1.

Our D is good BUT we are scoreless on the other end .... Jesus all these years same all defense bs

Giannis came in 2nd quarter completely out of rythm both ends. Spanoulis aint helping at all with his all defense lineups

All over again, huh? Woke to them pissing away their lead.

Yes the all defense lineups ARE KILLING OUR OFFENSE ... we can't score. This bs has been for so many years even on Bucks Horst's draft picks, roster construction. Giannis needs elite deadly shooters around him.

FIBA RULES ARE MAKING IT EVEN HARDER FOR GIANNIS. THERE IS NO 5 sec defense on paint violation... Teams can just pack the paint for the whole possession.

Guess what ... Spanoulis starts the second half with Calathes and Walkup ... first possession turnover cause Calathes denied to shoot a 3 and Papanikolaou made a turnover trying to create something... Jesus

Giannis is so sloppy on defense ... not focused at all

Cmon Calathes. Bulsh-- charge but cmon.

Giannis needs to bring the ball up more.

That was a terrible charge call. Goodness.

Terrible offense.
I had hopes for Spanoulis, but he is a still a terrible coach.
Toliopoulos is our only guard who can create of the dribble.
Papagiannis offering nothing.

Fire Spanoulis

No , they will form the wall ...

Did you see our last possession in the 3rd quarter ?

All team clears the strong side for Giannis and Calathes ... Giannis gets the ball in the post, gets doubled, kicks it to Calathes and he just threw the ball like a hot potato ... a classic no rim on the board brick by Calathes... Please for the sake of basketball ... put Toliopoulos as Giannis outlet pass... NOT CALATHES... Toliopoulos and Mitoglou / Papanikolaou at the top key 3 ... please please

Giannis GET THAT EFING BOARD MAN ...
That was a lazy box out on Theis.

Its already over we are doomed

How they called that a foul on Toliopoulos, insane.

Fotis St · Post #294 » by **Fotis St** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 10:26 am

21 1st quarter points ..
54 points 6:45 minutes left in the 4th quarter

Refs are garbage for real. Schroeder got a hit on Giannis leg.

Fotis St · Post #296 » by **Fotis St** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 10:32 am

3 consecutive turnovers.... we can't run an offense. Toliopoulios benched ... Papanikolaou and Mitoglou turn it over cause we have no plan on offense.. and not enough offensive talent to be honest. Its an all defense lineup and our wings are super slow ... We miss a player like Kostas and Papapetrou, we are too unathletic right now

Way too sloppy. '

Feel bad for Giannis. This Greek offense in the 4th has been Badgers-like from back in the day.

Fotis St · Post #299 » by **Fotis St** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 10:37 am

Spanoulis could possibly become a good coach after 15 years failing. Giannis will be 45 by then.

Time to focus on the NBA season. Garbage game plan & play.
