Ok, since it's impossible to make polls then just write your predictions down below. I think Real wins 3-1. I was scared all the time about Real and was really happy when Panathinaikos avoided them so it would be not fair from me to bet on Oly :p

But seriously I think Real will steal one game in Piraeus and then on muscles win in Madrid G3 and G4.
 
I don’t care if Real is Real (clever tautology there paspalj), there is a reason they were fighting for a playin spot. If Oly plays how they did most of the year and the last games were just a slump due to an easy 1st place then it’s Oly in 4. I have no idea what’s up with their injuries too. I can see a scenario that Real advances but that would require Oly missing Walkup, Vildoza, two of the centers, and playing bad. So I’ll take my initial Oly in 4.
 
3-1 Oly, just because injuries, in any other case it would be 3-0. Oly is the only team in EL that have strong answer against the only true Real's weapon Tavares.
 
It is like a game of man vs boys. Disappointing game from Real, and well done Oly.
 
I dont see any way for Real to win this series.
The question is if Olympiacos going to win first or second game at Madrid.
 
They will dissolve the whole team in Madrid. I guarantee you that.

Musa is history, Garuba might get one last chance. The whole bench is not Real level.
 
Oly performance yesterday was great, but there's still much improvement to be made especially on 3p percentage. Goss is the key player for olympiacos. After Walkup injury, he stepped up at every aspect. He's a badass for the opponent guards in defense. Milu also looks healthy. Walkup played some mins, and he looks really drained and worn out, but I m sure he can help game by game. Finally Fournier generally is good, he adds quality to the team, but certainly we're expecting from him to become more reliable on 3p shooting at the final stage

Doesn't matter. They are still great players who were basically unbeatable last year. No one can tell me Chacho, Rudy, Yabusele and Poirier were that much important. Ok they miss Yabusele but everyone else not that much.

I don’t know, I don’t think I agree. Apart from Campazzo and Tavares I don’t see any other great players. I always considered Hezonja very soft and although I was all aboard the Musa hype train when he was younger, I think I’m changing my mind over these past couple of years.
 
Yabusele is a big miss but Real had to suffer from a serious decline of many players especially Campazzo is in bigger decline than Larkin. Musa is very bad all season and also Hezonja etc. I really expected Real to show up big time like Edgar but nope, not this time.
 
Tavares 7 pts, 2 rebs, 4 turnovers in the first game. No way Real can preoccupy Oly with such performances of their key player.

If they really want to change everything next year my advice is to start with a new decent coach.
 
Uros Nikolic already doing his usual magic. If Diffalah shouldn't be the referee when Panathinaikos plays then Nikolic shouldn't be when Olympiacos plays.
 
7 minutes of the game and Oly already had 11 free throws. They might break the record of 43 they had against Zalgiris.
 
8-14 fouls, 14-4 ft's. Refs are doing their best to keep Oly in the game.
 
This is literally insane. I swear Nikolic didn't call 1 foul against Oly and he gave like 3 T's to Real.
 
19-4 FT'S by those cock-sucking chicken thieves. 2 T's againt RM.

Anytime Oly enters the paint, 2 free throws.
 
As much as I hate to watch Bryant on the court, I can's stand this Musa and his circus game. What Real saw in him I will never understand.
 
21-8 in the free throws. Olympiacos players are grabbing jerseys of Real players all the time but Nikolic doesn't see shit. This last foul on Llull he was 0.5m away and apparently he didn't see Fall hitting Llull in the head. Huge disgrace but Nikolic never disappoints when he is officiating games of Olympiacos.
