    [Game] Kings v. Bucks - Tuesday, Nov. 28 - 7 PT

    The biggest issue with the Bucks (since it's the team I follow closely for the past 4 years), is that there are currently: 1 Center ( Henson who is a good blocker, but very immature, soft, and foul prone) and Maker who is not a C but since he is 7.1 they feed him and bulk him up, in order to...

    Papa G in action overseas

    We lost 69 - 74. Too many TOs and very bad % from outside from both sides. PapaG made 2 fould early and then our coach forgot him as he blindly trusts Bourousis. Go Serbia now :) !

    Thanks.It was the first decent came we played. Sloukas was on fire and that helped a lot. The most difficult part was the beginning of the 4th Q when we had a black out and they came close to 4 pts. Also Valanciunas, while most of the time he dominated both paints, defensively he was bad and...

    Somehow we remembered that we play basketball and destroyed Lithuania in the Round of 16: 77-61. PapaG was a starter and was positive but was caught in foul trouble Some highlights. Rejecting Valanciunas: Alley Oop dunk:

    Papa G in action overseas

    During College and with the U18 Greek NT team Kostas was amazing. He could shoot from 3pt (he had more than 1.5 attempt per game), we would dominate the paint, he was much quicker and despite his height and build could play a hybrid PF/C role. One of the two big greek teams offered him 3 year...

    Today PapaG was again positive. Despite playing just 16 minutes he had 3/6 FG, 2/2 FT , 8 RBS (4 OR) , 2 AST , 1 STL , 2 BLK, 1 TO and 2 PF. By far the biggest +- (+26). A nice block:

    Papa G in action overseas

    We have been a disaster so far. Almost unwatchable. The coach has no clue (like everyone expected), some players are indifferent. PapaG wasn't used a lot so far. Today he played more and he wasn't bad. His 3 highlights: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/904351649401110529

    Hvala ti. I think it is your chance this time, especially after Llul's injury. We still have many issues. Shooting from outside (especially against a good defense like Serbia), our guards don't use our Centers well. Our centers....PapaG is young, Bourousis too old and slow, Bogris would rather...

    Missed the game vs Serbia as well (my mother was visiting us in Germany from Greece, the kids were happy and as expected overexcited, so my role was reduced to driving and explaining things at sightseeing :D ). But I am glad I missed it. Worst defeat in more than 20 years even for a friendly...

    Papa G in action overseas

    First Greek NT friendly preparation game against Romania. The difference between the two NT is huge so we won 106 - 48. Every player played around 10-20 minutes. PapaG was possitive : 16' : 8 PTS (4/6 FG) , 4 RBS (2 OR - 2 DR), 1 PF, 1 AST , 1 STL , 3 BLKS , 1 TO , he setup nice screens and...

    Bogdanovic - guard or SF?

    I've also seen him many times playing in Euroleague. He is definitely a SG, even for European standards he only had occasional minutes as SF, in NBA I imagine even less. His ball handling and shooting (especially on a streak) are his biggest pro points. In Eurolegue last year he was a 43% 3pt...

    KINGS! Summer League-Vegas Gm 4 - 7/12/17 (round 1 vs Bucks)

    Just some info in case you didn't know. 1. Thon Maker will not participate, it was planned that he would play a couple of games and then go back to Milwaukee to train with Giannis. 2. I doubt that any player on Bucks SL roster can guard Fox. 3. Naz Mitrou-Long is half greek (Mitrou is the last...
