Both Fener and Efes are to high, especially Efes if clown Can stays

Partizan will be among 6 imo, Rather then Monaco and Fener
 
Yeah, Efes is going 0-6 in the immediate stretch. That means the final RS record is 14-20, optimistically.
 
My F4 prediction: Real, PAO, Monaco and 4th either Fener or Partizan.

Virtus will blow out sooner of later. Small depth and aged 35+ players who will not be able to cope in a play off series. They are also trash in 4-5 positions except Shengelia. Definately punching above their weight with the great work done by Banchi.
 
Win at Monaco and Juancho return, Nunn factor and good D we are playing have convinced me. Sloukas has also adapted. We will get better as season progresses.

Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos and Monaco have opportunity for 3rd place, because lack of consistence of almost any team in Euroleague.
It seems to me, Fenerbahce with Jasikevicius is most suitable to do this.
I think Partizan 'll rather be between 7th and 9th place. If would it be 6th it meant to be over one of them betrween Monaco, Pao, Fenerbahce or Virtus. Maybe Monaco could fail, but it's not most likely scenario.

Maybe, you're right. Efes has a lot of problems. I put them on 12th place, because behind 11th any of other teams also have a lot of problems. For top 10, I don't expect standings 'll change significantly.

the right post to come back here, after hard days . but life must go on and...i missed all of u :)
writing of mta RS, well, hope mta fans defenetly learned what a disaster baldwin is. Even if not considering his disastrous stats, the team play better bball wthout him.

nebo and blatt are imo best surprise. both are playing their best season. blatt, who i nicknamed new ohayon, contradicted me day by day. I'm not talking of an el star, but he can be a an el bench player, altought i think his stats will decrease soon.

sorkin is the same fighter as colson is so erratic and i cant accept a pf who is unable to shoot from the arch.
brown stats are dramatic, but u should always count on him, waiting for better days.
rebouding it was our best weapon, but u cant count on rebouding to get f4.
anyway till now a decent season that we have to consider even good because we arent having home court adv.
with a fwd like bebirovic, we could change our destiny, but u know, european shooter in f position are not considered in yellow...

It's extremely tough job to predict final standings after 34 rounds but let's try it:

1 Real Madrid - they are the best by far.
2 Barcelona - Great roster, good results so far, they are better than Virtus
3 Panathinaikos - Not so good results, but they have great team, strong home court, and I can see them in third position
4 Monaco - Great team, with so many games that they played together, great coach. With only 6 away games till the end they also have good schedule.
5 Virtus- This is their season, obviously they don't have that good team for 3rd or 4th place, but they shouldn't fall much further than 5th spot.
6 Fenerbahce - So far they had great results at home, and if they continue with that, I can see them on 6th place in the end.
7 Olympiacos - Strong home court, strong defense, but tough schedule and too many unnecessary loses.
8 Partizan - One of the strongest home court in Euroleague, but they aren't that good without their supporters cheering for them, so tough luck.
9 Baskonia - Mediocre players, great coach, great fans, great chemistry. They are always dark horse.
10 Maccabi - Without their fans they aren't that good. Even 10th place will be great success for them.
11 Bayern - They have maybe the best coach in competition, but not so strong team. With only eight games at home, their chances are far from zero.
12 Valencia - This team don't have enough offensive quality for 10th place.
13 Anadolu Efes - Larkin, Thompson, Clyburn, Bryant...too many injuries destroyed their chances. Still better than Olimpia Milan or Red Star though.
14 Red Star - They don't have winning spirit, too many loses in close games. I don't see them finishing at 9th or 10th place.
15 Olimpia Milan - great players but awful medical record, too many injuries. I'm really sorry for them.
16 Zalgiris - quality just isn't there anymore. :(
17 Asvel - Mediocre roster but they are better than Zalgiris or Alba.
18 Alba - Worst roster in Euroleague by far.

I can understand you saying that at the beginning of the season, but right now I don’t think 'mediocre' is the best way to describe their roster. Except for Chiozza, with whom I agree, I don't understand having a player of this level as a second point guard. The others, from Mcintyre, Sedekerskis, Marinkovic, Howard, Moneke, Costello, Kotsar... are not mediocre. What’s curious is that two of the theoretically most important signings, young talents with potential, like Rogkavopoulos and Khalifa Diop, are having so little impact. A coach alone can't make a mediocre team compete for the playoffs; the squad must have a minimum level of talent. But I agree that the roster isn't top-tier material since the budget must be one of the lowest around, and without money, you can't sign stars.

I overestimated Valencia,Virtus,Partizan and partly Fenerbahce and Barcelona, on the other hand I underestimated Maccabi and partly Pao, Olympiacos.and Monaco. Others are mostly correct.

Virtus will blow out sooner of later. Small depth and aged 35+ players who will not be able to cope in a play off series. They are also trash in 4-5 positions except Shengelia. Definately punching above their weight with the great work done by Banchi.

3/4 F4 participants correct and also correct prediction of Virtus blowing out.
