Yesterday we played on the CenterOfDarknessAndFear and that all we seen from this game against Denmark, darkness and fear. Darkness because I wanted to win this game and I got a blackout and fear because I did not play with the level of attitude that I should have. My gamble on playing J. Brown as a PF worked as he scored 30 points and he had most of the rebounds. On the other hand A. Hurley did not play the best on the Center position, neither did D. O'Driscoll on which my hopes relied on from the SF position.
It is a disappointing defeat especially when our FG % were similar with the ones from Denmark but defensively we were much to passive losing the rebounding battle 31-55 from which extra possessions gave the Danes the possibility to win comfortably, especially when they had A. Pedersen (C) with good performance on both sides of the court. Our couple of 3's kept us in the game but it was not sufficient.
We go further and hopefully some players will catch from behind as this campaign is already compromised.
Go Eire!
