Yeah thats what the Turks call us.

It originates from the Persian name for the Ioanians (Hellenic people) , prior to their history as a part of Rome (Greeks).

Yunan Harden took Gianni's starting spot for the 2nd half.

Weird game by GIannis he doesnt get many opportunities at all and all the touches he spends to create plays for the team.
Love his slashes tho.

The team just needs better chemistry. In plenty of plays the players just stuck because of the many new options they have...

Pretty poor game from Giannis, he's out of the game now again.

Giannis is trying to do to much this game and the spacing has been awful when he's on the court.

And he played all his minutes as PF btw.

Bad game by greece overall the chemistry wasnt there today at all.
Oh well we will do fine where it matters.

Coach Katsikaris must play Giannis as coach Kidd plays him. And that is iso at the top of the key or iso at the post playing as a SF !!! Katsikaris we probably not do that, so we will probably not gonna see Giannis shine as expected ... Greece has a great roster, but coach hasn't won a single title in his coach carrer, so he doesn't have any experience in a win now top team... and on the other hand Greek players have won many European titles, or play in the NBA, and are considered as elite players in Europe level. In my opinion coach Katsikaris shouldn't coach Greek National Team, He is not a top coach, not a single title, and he is coaching champions. Hope Greece wins the European Championship, but in my eyes the coach will not gonna help us at all, probably gonna rotate too much and get on everybody's head...

Id like to see more of him facing up from mid range and Jab.. Too many times hes jabbing from the 3 point line but a Center is waiting for him.

Bad shot aside, the step back three was very interesting to watch. No hesitation whatsoever.

One thing that kind of worries me is that I don't think Giannis is great off the ball. He has seemed to struggle staying in the corner or by crowding the ball. For a player with a pretty good BBall IQ and passing ability, he doesn't seem to trust his teammates to hit him as a cutter. The ball sometimes doesn't seem to fly around the court when he starts off the ball. With guys like Parker and MCW, he is going to need to be more patient on offense and help with ball movement. He just always seems like he is in attack mode (though I consider that a strength of his)

I've been hoping he adds a go-to move for his jumper like that step back for a while now. Good to see he's comfortable with it because it'll be absolutely unguardable at his size. I hope he works with and watches Jabari a lot because that stepback + a lot of Jabari's other moves would be even filthier for a guy like Giannis.

That video makes it look like he airballed it badly. Did he make it?

You can see it graze off the rim.

Funny that "Presence" would spin it as a positive. That guy is something else.

Fanboys are welcome until they say a bunch of crazy crap, and start stuff with the team fan, in position to be more reasonable.
