Hey, I've been here all along.
First congrats to the Croats, better individual class in crunch time, when they were able to count on Ukic and Planinic. Even if I was surprised Loncar's three pointer went in.
What the hell happened to Vujcic? Completely out of shape, unmotivated, a completely forgettable tourney for him so far.
As for Germany, the team earned a lot of respect, and rightly so. But I thought that we were at 100% in the wrong games. We should have simply given away the game against Greece, like FYROM did with the games versus France and Greece. FYROM was beatable with this team I believe. We should have been at 100% for that one. But I think throwing away games just like that in some way conflicts with Bauermann's competitive nature. The guy hates losing. This has been a good opportunity for him to show his skills anyway, he's bored with sitting around for three quarters of the year. Clearly he won't say no if there's a good offer from an ambitious foreign team.
Now it's going to be interesting to see whether or not guys like Femerling will find a club. In my opinion he had a very good tournament. An underrated guy who plays extremely good defense and is a nice lowpost option on offense. But you all know him anyway.
Schultze, Jagla [not a fan of him though] and Greene are free agents as well. Benzing will play his first BBL season, Harris will go to college, Staiger [improved significantly throughout the tournament] stays in college, Ohlbrecht will be a starter on a BBL title contender, and Pleiß will be Elton Brown's backup in Bamberg.
Schaffartzik is completely out of his mind. But when his shots are falling, they are falling.
That's actually not far from the truth.
Only when I tried to calculate the influence of Greek loby, MS Excel politely told me to look for a new profession.
