hi
Granted it was only an exhibition game, but this is still worrisome. We lost to Italy 95-78. It wasn't close.
Perhaps this team is still gelling together, perhaps we are still getting used to the international refs (they call traveling A LOT). Or perhaps we're not that good. I'm not panicking or anything, but there are some definite holes on this team.
Our perimeter shooting is pretty bad, this HAS to improve. This team is seems to be very confused by the zone defense. We don't know how to penetrate it. We can't seem to the ball inside to our big men. Pretty frustrating to watch.
If we win the gold in the Oympics, it won't be easy. I'm not so sure we can do it. The world is catching up to us.
Thoughts?
