EL 2024/25 - Round 28

[Edgar3]

With all the other results and schedule the other teams have I think this was crucial win for the top 4. Alba, Paris and Zvezda in OAKA, Oly, Maccabi and Monaco away. We have 1 more victories than Bayern but 2-0 against them so that's 2 victories more. Zvezda has 2 less victories and we won in Belgrade by 5. So they need to win with 6 in OAKA...if Partizan tomorrow lose then we just need to look at Paris even though they also have 2 wins less but we still need to play against them but they have very tough schedule and need to play in Madrid, Kaunas, Istanbul against Fener and in OAKA...Great, great win!

So its a fight between PAO, OLY and FB.

And the 4th team, because it will be only one game in final.

And the 4th team, because it will be only one game in final.

Well technically you are right but game wise and quality wise these three teams are far the best in the EL rn but we also experienced a Oly 2012 in Istanbul so yes.

 

[Toruko2]

Imagine a F4 semi final game PAO vs Oly. This will be a very fierce fight. I would have said Final but I want FB to be in the final.

fener is the best team of the league atm.
it’s obvious that we will be the champions this season.
i bought flight tickets and booked hotel in abu dhabi but couldnt buy fucking tickets.

i need f4 tickets to be theeeereeeeeeee.

bro, i watch basketball for 30 years.
let’s count; if i watched 100 games every year, i have watched more than 3000 basketball games in my life.
almost half of them or %35 fenerbahce games.
much more than 1000 games for sure.

i think i am reasonable enough to consider what to expect from fener.

pg: zagars
sg: baldwin - guduric - wilbekin - hall
sf: colson - tarik - pierre
pf: hayes - melli - samanic
c: sertac

this roster cant win a single game against oly, pao, efes, real, barca, monaco.
no way, all 12 games will be defeat.
no pg, no center in the team.
we will average 15 turnovers, 20 opponent offensive rebounds against these teams.
this roster cant win against these 6 teams.
so, we have 22 game in regular season.
i think can get maximum 15-16 win.
cant get anything more than play-in.

if we add a good center and guduric plays like top old school point guards,
then we are not worse than anyone in the league.

but let’s be realistic.
we wont sign a good center and guduric wont play like the top old school guards…

saras will be sacked in december i think…

Couldn't resist mate, no hard feeling You was harsh then, but I understand your bitterness, I feeled almost the same untli wilbeclown with god help broke that whatever never mind.​

Will Grigonis ever return? He is out like 5 months. We would definitely use him better instead of Papapetrou. He would make all the open shots.

I think Ataman had said that he's expecting Grigonis back 2-3 weeks after the greek cup. hat should be soon but back surgery is very tricky from what I understand so they might try to be extra careful.

I have a question for all the Panathinaikos' fans here. Would you rather have secured F4 position and +10 at the halftime in the semifinal or 3 more years of Nunn without NBA clause?

My friend asked me this before 5 minutes. I would take 3 years of Nunn. I am confident we will be at the F4 especially if we get HCA and then everything is possible in 1 game. With 3 years of Nunn we can fight every year for the trophy. If he leaves it will be very tough to replace him. Friend agrees with me.

I dont like Nunns game style so F4 position but I am just a temporary PAO fan. Does it count?

I would also agree. Teams should be focusing on the midterm not just what's in front of their face.

 

[Edgar3]

Great 2nd half from Efes. They have good schedule at home but they need to get 1 win in Belgrade...

 

[Toruko2]

What happened to Dorsey btw.?

 

[Toruko2]

Letting aside the Sloukas and Calathes my favorite Greek EL player is Papanikolaou. A great player.

Alba Berlin, their record in the last two seasons is actually 9-53.

NBA tanking teams win more games. Why should this team be kept in this competition?

Because they are from Berlin, and Berlin is an important market for EuroLeague. I mean, they are joke of organisation, but they don't just care about money, they care about location too. In ideal world we shouldn't have licences at all, but if I have to choose, I rather have Alba or Baskonia, teams who are giving a chance some new or young players rather than some rich clubs from Turkey, Israel, Serbia or Russia who only had money and only buy old european players or average Americans from other rich european teams.
