Canada 104 Iran 85 (45424)A nice scrimmage win!No need to over-analyze, it's purely a scrimmage but also a very good warmup for our upcoming games. Old man Madiar made a nice debut to his season with 27 points. He is old, but his talents cannot be ignored. Once his manager got him in shape, he was on my radar. He had a dynamite third quarter. One second I left to put my son to sleep it was a close game.. I come back at the end of the quarter and bam, I couldn't believe my eyes, we were killing it!!
Defense was great again. Rebounding was fine.. Thanks for the improved game shape folks! Is it possible to push it a bit more. In two weeks we will take on Argentina, who I think is top two . It would be nice to aim for 10/12 of our players to have 9 game shape by then. I realize that is a lofty goal, but what's wrong with ambitious goals.
Let's keep passing our tests and see what we can do. We are probably not viewed to finish top 4, little-own top 5 or 6 but let's prove some people wrong!! It's been great so far. People will notice I have been starting to send out even more emails to younger players... let's get on the same page. The old boys are getting darn old, let's get those ponies all grown up!!!
Top Stars:1)Madiar - 27 points and a one man show in the third quarter. (3 points)
2)Pavliuk - 14 points, 6 asisssts and plus 19 (2 points)
3)Koszakov - 15 points (1 point)
Have a good evening!
