Review of our NT match against Bosna.
1. We decided to play with more enthousiasm than the other team. I do not entirely agrree with this decision since Bosna is a much more complete team than ours as well as much stronger. Nevertheless I can understand the attempt to make the miracle.
2. The tactical decision was Low Post, which I would agree, thying to get the opposite defense unprepeared and unready. Nevertheless in such an attempt my opinion is to use PG,SG players with good passing, handling, driving and furthermore good IS (respectable and higher) so as to achieve a better result, since usually the opponents guards have a relativly low ID. If the guards have a good RB then even better. I am not sure if Kakarnakis and Gkavo are capable of inside game, due to low IS, RB.I assume the end result would be the same but if it was a game against an egual team, then this would make the difference in winning and losing. Even with those guards we used we managed to achieve a few fouls from the opponents guards. Imagine if our players had IS more than respectable (7). If you see the opponents SG previous games you will realise that in OD he is a monster but in ID he is good but not super. Use that as an advantage. Same goes for the PG.
3. Although we played low post I would prefer Look Inside giving a bit of more versability to our team.
4. It is very important to use players with high gameshape, something we have not been doing this season. It is not just the player with the best stats, its in what form he is in. We need to change that mentality. Avoid using players with gameshape less than strong, unless you absolutely have to. Prefer to use similar or slightly less capable players (with one or maximum two less skills) with more gameshape.
5. We used Stiliaras as PF and Kaliasis as Center. Not sure if that is correct based on their skills. Perhaps it would be wiser to use them the other way round. Center=stiliaras and someone else and PF=kaliasis and smeros.
6. All these are little details that make the difference. I see that our NT is falling even lower in the global rating which is something that makes me sad. We need better planning and more effort to reach the ranking 65 to 70 where we used to be.
I could be talking for hours analysing the game step by step but I would rather not spend your time or mine :)
