[QUOTE="Da Grappla, post: 672086, member: 66611"] Let's clarify some things. Spain...oh oh. What a shame. No excuses. France was best than Spain. Period. Now...Why? Coach staff. Head coach, Orenga, is an ex player of very limited talent on the court but a good one at climbing above the corporate ladder to the ceiling in our basketball governative body (FEB) FEB endorses the guy, the guy not only enjoys it, but even bites the hype. He starts to believe in himself. As the world cup would be celebrated on home ground, FEB makes an effort to get every NBA player. Succeed...everyone who counts, is in. But...are they enough? Of course not. And now is when troubles start; some good players of the best league after NBA (ACB) are out. Some, are in. Ok, that's how it works. Tournament starts and some flows are easely seen; lack of deffensive efforts and, specially in the game against Senegal, rebound game. Out game too...three pointers don't aim at the rim, but everyhwere else. Experiments like setting up a point guard (Calderon) as shooting guard, position where he's no good at. And the cherry on a pie...seen throughout the tournament; three players never leave the bench. Who? The ones who could fix it up. I'm talking of Felipe Reyes, a very good deffensive player and rebound taker on the power forward zone. I'm talking of Abrines a more focused than Rudy Fernandez at 2/3 with a good 3p percentage. Or Victor Claver, a 3/4 where we lacked height...he's 2.06. Of course, with that landscape (we had it coming, everyone saw it before) [I]aficionados[/I] are asking, yelling, for his resignation [/QUOTE]
