Goorjaan is a joke

Could be just me being too cynical but I swear there were at least three occasions in third quarter where Maher wide open (one after superb baseline cut) was not passed ball from Heal.

just a quickie after reading this post............the mistake has been made before of not giving cattalini enough court time, hope it isn't going to be repeated.......heal wasn't the best player to have on court against the greeks for as long as he was, he was very much height challenged and not playing team ball, maybe pretty for here but not when you're playing world standard
Me thinks there needs to be more of a team effort

You guys are all spot on.

You may be diff in opinions but at least you think outside the square to better the team... unlike the Boomers/Sydney coach.

Can't believe that Smith was playing, that hardly any Cat or Rillie, not enough Maher, and too much Heal.

ideally i would have brett at PG, dependable ball handling, nothing flashy can create enough offense to keep the defense honest and rillie as SG. but in absense of the honorary towel waver for athens, i guess i could live with heal as PG if he stopped shooting early in the offense on pullups and faders.

PG: Heal
SG: Maher
SF: Neilsen
PF: Bogut
C: Andersen

I like that lineup alot more than the one we run atm. It might force Rogers to play more if we are in foul trouble, but I can live with that.

Either way we really must use players like Cat and Rillie off the bench. When we are lacking scoring, they are the guys we need to goto, not shane and matty.

Who should start?

Heal
Maher
Nielsen
Bogut
Anderson - knows the international game, the European game, how they play.

I was really disapointed with Goorjian playing small ball against the Greeks.

Brett Maher worked his ass off to get the Boomers within striking distance only to get benched in crunch time.

Saville played about 15minutes but didn't do anything of note. Cat played 4minutes before fouling one of the Greek shooters on a 3pt attempt and then got benched straight away.

I think if Neilsen is trying out to play SF in the NBA he should be starting SF on the Boomers. He does alright as PF in international ball, but i'd much prefer a big man setting picks than one of our supposed 'guns'.

Heal is going to get posted up all tournament, his shot selection is as random as ever. Our team seems alot like the Gaze and Heal show of old, without Andrew. Alot of players defering to Heal, wanting him to create everything.
CJ made a couple of decent moves to the basket, but not enough to warrant the minutes he recieved.
