GUYS RELAX...ITS ONLY THE FIRST GAME


Remember US plays basketball very differently so they have to get used to it. As you see they scored 46 points in THE PAINT. Thats how US is used to scoring, they get close to the basket and dunk or lay up. They can't shoot.


WE need to capitalize on our shooters and play more aggressive and PHYSICAL. But its good to see them having fun in US and getting experience. We can't expect much from people who get no practice.

Iran loses by 17 to Dallas. Haddadi with a better game this time with 19 and 16 boards. Apparently a lot of Iranian fan support at the games.

Thanks!

Thats a good result IMO. We won two quarters and Hadadi and Nikkah apparantely played well and maybe some scouts will open their eyes for them now.

coach mario elie?! Wow since when? Good for him

man we got worked in that third quarter lol, but hey its definitley something to build on. The trouble spots are obvious, turnovers (23 more today) and 3 point shooting (only 3-15) but most of that is just nerves. Hopefully with this preperation we can shake some of that off.

Any video of the fans and stuff would be greatly appreciated

He is an assistant coach for them. One of the assistants always is the head coach for the summer league teams, although the actual head coaches are usually right there in the stands watching the game from close.
