EA7 Armani Milano 2017-18

[Olimpia15]

Milano will have to play with 5 balls, 1 for each player

This is our recurrent problem, lack of balance. I like the roster but what you say it's true, we will see if Pianigiani (for me an overrated coach) will be able to create some chemistry. By the way i didn't see any Banvit's game last year but only some highlights of Theodore, is he like a sort of Bobby Dixon with less shot or something different?

For the spot of 5 some say we are in talk with Zirbes, for me it's kinda strange because they said to want a player who can open the court but maybe they are not sure if Young can stay healty

Proli said that Pianigian is one of best three italian coach ahahahahahaah

Trinchieri,Scariolo,Messina,Buscaglia and Sacripanti are better by far than Him

Pianigiani is a lucky man

Milano has a very good roster but one of the worst coach possible

Pascolo with Him will play only garbage time,don't fit in his system(?) ahahahah,pn'roll,then pn'roll ,then pn'roll and three point shot and three point shot and three point shot


I can't wait to see the Armani's supporters who insult him after the first defeats

Supporters hate him for his past, i think next season will be another failure

Olimpia fans have already started to insult him ahahah, his past it's not easy to forget. Please i think you are italian, don't call it Armani, we are grateful to mr Armani but the name of the team is Olimpia from 1936 every time i see Armani to call the team my heart suffers lol

By the way i agree with you, Buscaglia would have been my first choice

[ronmercer80]

pianigiani is an average coach, in my opinion all these attacks are very severe. Nothing excellent, nothing particularly harmful. And I am not sure at all that all the coaches mentioned above are better.

Trinchieri, for example, is clearly overrated, in Greece he failed miserably because of his lack of personality. I agree about Sacripanti, I consider him the best italian coach actually.

[Jazz]

Why do they hate Pianigiani so much? He wasn't the one who was helping Siena gain a financial advantage over the rest of the Italian league.

Trinchieri was at his first "big" experience in a team full of players with a lot of personality, i think almost every young coach would have struggled in that situation, in cantù, kazan and bamberg he proved to be a good coach in my opinion

It's a long story, he was part of an illegal sistem who poisoned italian league for a decade and he was aware of it

Well Fener fans have a very good reason to dislike him lol. Although at some point in that season, it had become compassion rather than dislike

Thanks for the reply. I'd be really interested to hear more details some time.
Would you not say, despite the advantage they had in the Italian league, that he did a good job coaching Siena- especially in EL where they weren't as wealthy as many other teams?

Haha. That whole season must just seem like a bad dream now.

Agreed - darkest time of the night before the dawn thing. His Siena teams were great to watch though.

Pianigiani couldn't do better with mediocres like Onan, Preldzic,Bremer... He is not that bad coach bad he had awful selection of players.
On the other side if he selected roster then he is bigger moron then them.
And yes, that season was nightmare

I'd bet he was the one who chose Sato (played half decent) and Andersen (had goodwill but completely washed up). Batiste I don't know - our great management's selection maybe. Onan was pretty good then by the way - of course by the standards of that year.

Sato, Anderson and Batiste came as EL winners, all three of them.That was the first sign that Fener starts with bigger ambitions and higher goals. They were washed up players but still there was quality and obvious class
Tanjevic did awful job before that by bringing Preldzic and that cost us a lot thrown years. Second big mistake was belief that Onan could be more then role player. Even in first Obradovic season he was first shoting guard option. We all know how we finished that season. Another nightmare

Pianigiani was in the middle of that and wasn't capable to make clear cut. Even Obradovic needed more then year to do that.
So, maybe roster isn't full Pianigiani fault. I couldn't find my post from that season but I remember that I said in start of the season that his scouting of domestic part of the roster was disaster and the season is over before even started.

Roster 2017-2018

Pg: Theodore/ Kalnietis/ cinciarini
sg: Goudelock/ Bertans/ Fontecchio/ Cerella
Sf: Micov/ dragic/ Abass
Pf: Jefferson/ Pascolo/ M'Baye
c: Young/ Tarczewski

Coach: Pianigiani

The team is Pianigiani-style, with skilled combo-guards and lot of shooters, we will see if both Kalnietis and Dragic will stay, they were not on the original plans but they wanted to stay in Milan and also they have big contracts and both are returning from injuries, so it will be difficult to find some team who wants them, personally i would be happy if they stay.
I see some defensive problems as usual but at least comparing from last year we have some rim protection. The big bet will be young...if he stay healthy the season can be quite good, if this does not happen i see disasters coming.
I'm very curious to see Theodore and Jefferson, and also how M'baye who played a good season in Italy (brindisi) last year will adapt to a far more high level.
Tell me your opinions guys!

[Obina]

4/5 can be problem.

I like Jefferson but Young and Tarczewski, first is Damaged and second is mediocre. Someone like Tyus could be great for Armani.
