[round2, day2] Game F/5: Greece - Slovenia

[Edwood]

Greece is having great coaches ( katsikaris beat euro cup coach Bartzokas best euroleague coach , Pedoulakis amazing coach)

Hey, you're Greek, you know our stupid mentality. Bartzokas coaches Olympiakos, Pedoulakis coaches Panathinaikos hence they can't be coaches of NT. Conspiracy theorists and team fanatics who will invest on NT failure will rise from their graves, undermining the team's success.

Which is a shame because I strongly believe that coach RG is the best choice for many reasons and, honestly, the fact that it happens to support his team is not one of them.

Anyway, Katsikaris is clearly the logical choice, let's hope that it is the case. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind tseeing a return in NT bench (you know who I am referring to, and I know that he had some failures in the recent years but c'mon, the Dragon doesn't simply know the Greek basketball mentality, he IS the Greek basketball mentality).

Amzing game from our guys. I am very happy. We forced our tempo on them, we had a few fast break points early on, and that made the game. And Gorand Dragic proved he is just a "solid" player lol... I just have to congratulate Joksimovic for doing an amazing job defensively, he put his hear out on defense and it showed. I love it.

Slovenia, not Slovenia

Liam Canny just said that there were 16 loose balls in this game, and that Slovenia caught 13 of them.

I've been watching the game now and during the last quarter have been thinking there would be another epic match from Greece. When they were at their best moment turnovers have been fatal.

An excellent interview with Maljkovic about his strategy against Greece (which worked to perfection). It is in Greek, but perhaps Google translate won't butcher it too much.
