Australia vs Turkey
Hopefully the coaching staff have learned as well as the players.
Really need Mills - Baynes ain't ready to lead this group.

I thought Exum Played well in the first half. He ran the team well and defended. I havent seen the stats but had to be about +10.. He never saw the floor in the 2nd half?


The times when we actually stuck to our game plan of pushing the ball in transition we looked the far superior team. Unfortunately this lasted, what, 5 minutes?
Missed free throws, lazy turnovers and I hate admitting this, but a purposeless half court offense cost us in the end. A 'motion offense' without sufficient ball movement, player movement or capable decision makers was never going to cut it.
Absolutely gutted.

Someone explain to me why Baynes does not hit the open man earlier on our 2nd last play ??
He had Broekhoff who is our best perimeter shooter wide open as well as Bairstow and hangs onto the ball too long before finally finding Bairstow with the shot clock going off.
Is it just me or does Baynes ego gone through the roof since the Spurs won the NBA title.
Free throws also hurt, as did poor half court offensive execution and disgraceful pick & roll defense.
We have too many guys with flaws in their game and decision making not great either.
Cant understand why anyone would drive and kick to Brad Newley on the perimeter or make an extra pass to him late in the shot clock.
Delly & Ingles needed to be more creative earlier, the only way we looked like scoring was via Delly at the foul line or via his on ball execution and via Ingles ability to create and get in the lane from the wing drive.
Tried to manipulate the system and come up short.
Failure all round for Lemanis, should of just taken a top 8 finish by beating the Dominican Republic & let our young group play against the USA, would of made your resume look a damn sight better then what it does now !!


Do I need to start a new thread to answer this ???
Hmmm maybe if I look down the page and find the appropriate thread I might discover it will start at 3.55am...
