Real vs Paris
Bayern vs Zvezda


Honestly, I believe in Paris. I think they are relaxed, they play great in the last month. They choked so bad against Fener in Istanbul, same thing they did in Madrid week later. Even if they lose they will have another chance so that's why I think they don't have any pressure and will literally fly in Madrid on the court. When you play against them, then Tavares in defense is actually non factor. I expect a lot of points and for me Paris might surprise.

Bayern played horrible game against Fener, Zvezda played incredible game against Pao. I can't see Codi shooting again 5/6 for 3, Nedovic 5/5 for 3 in the first 2.5 quarters...so idk, I think Bayern will win this because of home court but whoever wins will lose against Real or Paris for the 8th spot.
 
Deficiency of being 2nd in RS is that you have 4 days less to prepare tactics against opponent. I suppose it will be
Real but could be Paris also, 2 quite different teams and approachs.
Anyway, both teams suits to us, I expect pass.
 
Bayern playing like headless chickens shooting crazy three upon three. Zvezda playing smarter looking for fast break points and passing the ball to the playing in a better position. Shame that Brown is such a chicken offensively. All this after 5 mins. Bayerns offensive rebs keeping them in the game.
 
Kalinic always plays regular season like shit and then when it matters the most he is great
 
Kharchenkov suddenly became Tracy McGrady against us.
We play good so far, the key will be to stop Edwards for shoting easy shots and control rebound which we doing shit so far.
 
Perfect half from Zvezda, Bayern plays really bad. Edwards should stop taking these stupid 3s and he needs to attack the basket because no one from Zvezda can stop him 1 on 1. Zvezda should lead by double digits advantage. +7 is not enough how much better they were.
 
I know 90% Panathinaikos' fans will tell me I am crazy but I would love to see Hifi in Pao. I always loved players like him. When he is hot he is insane and his energy is unmatchable.
 
I'd like Hifi. We lack killer shooters. He's also hard to handle on the floor. Wins more fouls that he conceeds. I prefer Hifi to Ward who's a little taller but isn't as good on the floor.
 
They destroyed us in 3rd quarter.
Nedovic once again showed why he in his whole career never played play-offs.
 
As I said, +7 was too little how good Zvezda played. Now Bayern woke up...Zvezda had to lead at least by 12, 13 points after 1st half but they missed a lot of free throws, had stupid turnovers and allowed some open shots...
 
RS conceeded 32 points in the 3rd. RS's biggest problem is that CMM is not an offensive threat as he's missed everything behind the arc. Bayern are playing him under and are restricting his creativity/ Yago seemed out of his depth in his few mins.
