Your prediction about the F4?

[KokkinosVasilias]

Its a bit early but it doesnt matter

which teams will make it to the F4?

it seems two teams are for sure already there
CSKA and PAO

for the other two spots its not easy to tell...

Tau isnt as strong as last year, there is Real, Barcelona, perhaps Efes and Maccabi, maybe an italian team

btw if Oly signs Saras they will be the 3rd team in the F4 for sure

[elaj]

Too early to say. Wait for first games to start.

[Buducnost PG]

Real should be 100% there, because they are the hosts. UlEB and Jordi will do it for them, even if they wouldn´t deserv it.

good point...

so there are 3 teams already in the F4... CSKA, PAO, Real

just like last year, everybody knew CSKA, PAO and Tau will be in the F4 before even the 1st game

[Straight forward]

I think Oly is one of the main expectants to be in F4 even without Saras. I predict the best season for Macas in his career! He's 27 so it's time to rewrite history of Euroleague i had a doubt about him after such a difficult injury, but when i saw him in Greece final Oly- Pao, i can't tell you- he'll be unstoppable this season!

My prediction:

Pao
Oly
CSKA
Zalgiris heh, more likely Real or Barselona if they'll sign Jasikevicius

[Buducnost PG]

I don´t believe in Oly. Again to many new players and they will need time to adapt to each other. And that could mean no good games in the begining and then a tougher group in the Top16 and if you then end up as 2nd and has to play CSKA and CSKA has homecourt advantage then you are 85% out. So it will also a lot depend on the situation during the EL. Injuries could also play a role as well.

even if this thread is one of my favorites every season i have to say its too early.We dont know the complete rosters every team will have.We dont know their play status (if the new players will fit) we cant be sure again cause of possible injuries and many more.But its so tempting so untill now i think

CSKA is so strong.the absolute favorite.
PAO with another addition will be the best PAO ever IMO
Maccabi a real question with good possibilities
Efes another big question with good possibilities
OLY strong contender and possible candidate of F4 especially with another good addition.
Barca again will be one step away of F4
Real since she is the host is favorite of being there
TAU even if will be not like last year will be tough
Malaga another question
Zalgiris maybe the surprise of the Euroleague or another disaster

F-4...

For me without doubt Cska Moscow and Panathinaikos will be there because of very powerfull rosters and very nice coaches. I think the third one is will be from Spain. My favourite is Real Madrid. The fourth one would be surprisingly one of those teams; Unicaja Malaga, Efes Pilsen, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Aris or Zalgiris Kaunas. In my opinion teams like; Olympiacos, Tau Ceramica and Barcelona has no chances for this years finals because of their coaching style and wrong transfer politics.

[PHILIPeurobasket]

Too early ... too early - we didnt know all full teams roster, so we cannot talk about predictions about F4

[Basketball GOD]

CSKA and Panathinaikos for sure. TAU, Barca, Real, maybe Olympiakos, maybe Efes will battle for next two tickets to Madrid and a little chance goes to Prokom, Maccabi and Unicaja.
Today my bold guess would be CSKA, Panathinaikos, TAU and Real.

Cska-Pana...

Let's open our eyes, too early for what? For this;

-Papaloukas, Zizis, Holden, Siskauskas, Goree, Andersen, Langdon, Savrasenko or Smodis? 9 high quality players and a very experienced coach? Or too early for this;

-Batiste, Becirovic, Tomasevic, Dikoudis, Alvertis, Tsartsaris, Diamantidis, Perperoglou, Zizic, Vujanic or Winston? Already 11 high quality players and Obradovic?

This is the same old movie my friend that everybody watching it every year. Money and right team chemistry talks. Which has these specialities? This year Cska and Pana again. Which could surprise us? And these teams are also known by anybody. Earthquakes in these teams can be only serious injuries. We don't have to wait to choose possible winners until the matches begin. Regards...

[Picek]

Partizan, U. Olimpija, Cibona and Prokom...

unfortunately for us Prokom will win it..

[Gytaz]

My guess would be PAO, CSKA, TAU and Olympiakos.

[Muzonasxxx]

Cska,Panathinaikos,MDP,Real

i agree 100%

PAO and CSKA will be in the F4 anyway,
we dont have to wait for the EL to begin, all the other teams will have to fight for the remaining 2 spots
