It will be epic series.
OAKA will be hell
Fener needs much more than today s performance to reach the F4 against PAO

[Johnny7]

I think from all the members on this forum my opinion is the most valuable for this match because I have a short history of disliking these 2 teams from time to time more then the ohter teams in this competition

So my opinion is hard hard game for both teams. Home advantage is such a big plus seriously.

Right now PAO is an obviously stronger team with deeper roster. Pascual is the key factor. If he can exploit PAO's advantage, Fener's chances are not at all good.

The reality is that if Fener doesn't improve, PAO will do a 3-0.

Pao is vary serious team with deeper roster then us. They have the home court adventage and they are favorite to win the serie. But mayby, just maybe we have chance if for instance Nunnalli get injured before the serie starts. This guy is killing us the whole season and we are better team without him.

PAO have been performing much better recently, it is obvious but I can't agree with you about the roster depth and strenght. For example we can name Calathes, James and Singleton as the key players for PAO; and Bogdanovic, Datome, Udoh for Fener. I firmly believe that Fener has a better trio. If we talk about the quality, Fener has an advantage but recent form doesn't give us a clue to predict whether the team can reach its maximum again in 15 days or not. Although Pascual is the key factor according to you, Obradovic always has a plan to surprise everybody. Let's see...

5vs5 and according to both teams current form and rosters it should be an easy 3-0 or 3-1 for panathinaikos.

But ulker will definetely have the push from the referees and this closes the gap. However they really need to put a show in greece in order to secure a victory for ulker. And this wont be allowed by the green fans and they will make it sure for the referees to know that too. If they play 50-50 they wont have any problem. If they dont,they can check videos of what "accidents" might happen in greece sometimes

[Levenspiel]

At this point, PAO is definitely the favorite here, contrary to what we'd say 2 months ago.

With a turnover risk on every dribble, it's quite a tough job for Fener. The great thing with Obradovic and this current Fener team is that you cannot rule them out. also a few sleeping guns in the roster. That's probably most Fener fans are counting on.

clearly the best match-up of the playoffs.

I really think that Fener fans are a bit overhyped about Obradovic.He used to be the best coach in Europe,but he lost that position in recent years. He doesn't pull of the strings completelly even in his own team.Pascual is a coach with huge experiense and regarding current condition of the teams and with home court advantage I see Pao winning this series

I disagree. Calathes,Singleton and Gist are the key players for Pao. For Fener i think that Sloukas,Bogdanovic and Udoh are the key players.

[CengizHan]

fener often depend on Bogdanovic. it have to find this.

[janketa]

First five of Fener are better then first five of Pao. Bench players of Pao are far better then our bench players. Obra or Pascual I don't know in this moment. In the poll I voted for Pascual.

[janketa]

Singleton and James are key players for Pao, Bogdan and Gigi for us.
