because he coulnd defend picken roll.When Sofo is on the couart the man that he guards is going and doing pick and sofo is too slow to handle it.This why Tomic is getting easy baskets.Atleast when the last time sofo was ont he couart barcelona made a huge run and from that sofo never comeback.But panathinaikos couldnt score either way,some maybe they should use sofo more,but than tomic or lorbek would shoot 4-5 metress free jumpers.This atleast my answer why pedoulakis didnt use him more.

Yes but with Sofo on the court Tomic and Jawai commited fouls constantly and if he stayed a little longer he could have fouled them out..

its normal fans reaction.Coach that won 2games in arrow against looked like invinsible barcelona,lost one against them and become useless :) This why we are called fans,we want max everytime.If you will lose one important game everyone forgets what you did before.

But im the basketball fan from neither of these teams side,and my opinnion pedoulakis did very good job this season with panathinaikos.Its very hard to replace obradovic and have worse roster by alot that he had for 10 season.Barcelona has better player hands down here,but pedoulakis is outcoaching Pasquel.Even if barcelona will win thi series,nobody from here thought that barcelona gonna play with fire like they do now.

First of all let me give you a couple of facts concerning yours trully:
-I've never played organised bball in my life and thus i am a total amateur.
-I was partly excited by the fact that most of the roster and the whole coaching stuff changed during the off season cause i was tired of PAO's lackluster playing style over the last few seasons despite their successes.
-Early on i was very supportive of the new team despite the fact that the management went back on their word to build a new team for the next decade by failing to sign any real prospects for the future.It actually felt good to support an underdog for a change.

Moving on to Pedoulakis.
We have waited all year long for PAO to develop a comprehensive offense and stop relying on DD's p'n'rs and Lasme's hustle.
They still have only two main offensive options:the aforementioned 2 on 2 and the very innovative,give the ball to sofo and go wait in the corner...
I understand that apart from DD PAO don't have any EL level distributors but isn't that partly Pedoulakis fault?
We have heard praises for this hard nosed D the Greens play, but as i posted before this is a matter of will and athleticism not sth that we can attribute to the coach.Being unable to answer to the other benches moves in game is also a failure of the coach.
I mean, Pedoulakis has had some success choosing match-ups on the defensive end (having agile FWs helps a lot) but not being able to unlock a simple 2-3 zone is unacceptable.
Outcoaching Pasqual is not an accomplishment in my eyes.
PAO have one of the best Ds but also one of the worst Os in EL.For fans that are used to a high level of play, this is excruciating.
Anyway,i've already written that i wouldn't mind having him as PAO's coach next season also but i want to see him signing a couple of real prospects and giving the team an offensive identity.

To tell you the whole truth, this year's PAO was build to match up well with Oly and regain the local championship and not to win the EL.
This is sth that the reds were doing in the past seasons (building a team to defeat their arch rivals) but this a feud that leaves me totally indifferent as i do not harbour ill sentiments for the reds nor do i covet a cup that is sought after by only 2 out of a total of 14 teams.Winning it 100000 times certainly has sth to do with it also.
The thing is, though, that whereas last year's Oly gained offensive momentum through their stifling D utilising their freshness and athleticism by executing their offense before the shot clock read 15 in some cases, this year's PAO have taken the game back to an era that most true bball fans would prefer to forget;that of Maljkovic and Ioannidis...
Serves you right for hiring an old school Greek coach....

This is less sad than the CSKA fiasko that we have all witnessed in the past.
That is because this is a reaction to this fiasko as I believe and explain below:

For me this move is mostly a message to the Euroleague.
Because, Euroleague, with their referring, f@cked hard PAO last year and a little bit in Barca.
And because after the PAO complains, Euroleague gives(rightfully) a fine.
But the fine is huge taking into account the 'size' of the league.

So, Giannakopoulos is not a happy with all this treatment, and he is showing off that
1) He has money to spent (and he is choosing were to spend them!)
2) He has a lot of fans (around 50000 for 2 games in 2 days proves it)
3) These fans can be good (but I also guess that some of them can get really bad, taking into account they are sooo many).
4) If he wants he can f@ck Euroleague back...

In addition, he believes this moves will make him look like a great president in the eyes of many PAO fans.

Mighty Barcelona afraid of 100 people?
 
It's not bad at all that he takes 100 fans with him..I just hope that these 100 will behave just like fans and not the..usual.

I was in Palau 2 years ago in the second match (PAO's win) and we were 50 greens. 2-3 of us were enough to light up the fire. Which didn't expand only because Barca's fans showed some level. Credit to them about that.
 
As an assassin ULEB send this referee trio to the game. Sad for Panathinaikos:

Crew Chief
LAMONICA, LUIGI, Italy
Referee
ZAMOJSKI, JAKUB, Poland
Umpire
LATISEVS, OLEGS, Latvia
 
Lamonica will call in favor of the team which Jordi wants. Guess which team Jordi will prefer?
 
11 foul most of them inexistent like the 3rd of tomic, and 15 ft for pao who isn't playing a fucking shit and we only 4 ft when pao defense is only with contact
