The USA squad has yet to break 100 in any of their three exhibition games (a point per possession), and while I am not familiar with the international squads, I suspect these four squads are among the best in the field. The USA should clobber Finland and South Korea (their two opponents in the Group H pool). Watch the Eff. on Offense, it should be (well) above 100. The key (until the squad finds the range) will be tight defense and controlling the boards. Corey had a very good game against the Russians, I will post the stats later this evening.greyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205379240405158462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753743645741034308.post-35180861103479345492009-06-29T21:03:39.453-04:002009-06-29T21:03:39.453-04:00Hello greyCat.
I was just about to comment that I ...Hello greyCat.<br />I was just about to comment that I would yank the green light from Fisher on the 3 Pt. shots BUT I just see he had a much better game against Russia in a win(67-63). Good to see. His minutes were up (vs Battle) and in fact they were the most of anyone on the team. He was 2/4 from downtown and 5/11 overall. 3 steals, 2 de rebounds, no turnovers, no assists, and 3/4 from the line. Team US still has some things to work on though. While our rebounds were up and our PF's were down and our 3 pt attempts down, overall we still shot terrible from 3. And, our FT % wasn't so hot.<br /><br />At least we're headed in the right direction. However, I have no idea how good the Rufskys are or are supposed to be.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846108924009665020noreply@blogger.com
