I am curious to see what
@rosa u podne ,
@Peja and others think, but to me the tournament faliure came down to these things:
1) Lack of playmaking. we did bring a lot of PGs, but none of them with the vision and creativity of Teodosic. once the games became physical with in your face defending we struggled to create. add to that the reluctance to use Jokic as the fulcrum of the offense and we were "easily" defended by the more aggresive coheseve teams such as Spain and Argentina.
2) undefined pecking order and roles. too many different lineups. i think part of why we looked out of sorts when pressure is applied is the fact that there was no opportunity to form synergies amongst units cause we were making all kinds of substitutions and starting lineups
3) lack of shooting. or at least confidence in the shot. last two games only Bogdanovic was consistwntlt making 3s and he had to fight hard to get those 3s
