Greece players other than Giannis :huhldup:

If they can get some rebounds, Giannis might do this alone.
The coach is an idiot. They keep trying to post giannis instead of having him attack head on. He's getting doubled and fronted every possession

Greece just doesn’t have much offense, this was inevitable

The commentator said Greece was the worst 3 point shooting team in the tournament. They were always going to be fukked.

Giannis was driving and dishing earlier but it led to bricks. He was posting up and dishing, it led to bricks. At some point, the other 4 guys on the floor gotta not brick.

Olympic hoops is basically about spot up shooting and controlling the boards. Smaller court, closer 3 point line, and a traditional zone (can pack the paint with no violations) all translates to far less spacing for 1v1 compared to the NBA.

Your team gotta have shooters

Pretty sure he was a bum in the NBA at some point

it’s tough because teams just zone and wall off the paint when they do try and let Giannis initiate from the perimeter. Greece just doesn’t have much talent outside Giannis, there is nothing they can do to compete with the top teams
