we are playing with 4 Gs (+ Haddadi) and 1 C (Kardoust). Coach Matic is showing his more creative side

[Buran]

we are shooting below 10 % (9%) from behind the arc (1/11)! when was the last time they were shooting this bad?

[xxax]

Wow that was painful to watch... Just pure boredom... I was hoping our 2nd team would show something, but apparently i was wrong...

If 4th quarter was 12min we were the winner side now.

Yeah. If our 2nd had team played the whole game you'd probably win : )

Good game Iran.

It's not bad even if your idea be correct. I completely satisfied from our players.If we were lucky like China and were in a poor group like other asians we are happy now. believe me.

I think your 2nd team played a short time + sometimes we played with our 2nd team.

Anyway Congrats.

not a bad game, coach gave some minutes to his very bench players (Davarpanah and Hassanzadeh) and surprisingly they played a key role in the 4th quarter !

we hadn't Sahakian and Veisi today, Sahakian looked healthy on the bench but Matic didn't risk to use him in this unimportant match and we played many minutes without a forward !!

Arsalan had another good game (13pts, 14rebs, 3 steals in 27 mins) unlike both Kamrani and Haddadi ! (The only remaining players from our usual starting lineup)

OK , our boys gave their hearts in this tournament (except the first match which we played crap) of course we didn't do anything special in this tournament but we all knew it before the start after all bad things happened this summer for the team. losing by 16 to Brazil, 21 to Croatia, 37 to USA and 5 to Slovenia isn't something to be ashamed of.

I noticed that we have 7 new players comparing to our roster in 2009 Asian Championship ! (only Haddadi, Kamrani, Davari, Davoudi and Sahakian played in Tianjin) 7 changes is a lot for an Asian team like Iran ! we gain some new players here and we can count on them in future

this year is not done yet, we have Asian Games which is really important (even more important that than World Championship for the federation)
