EL2022-23 game day 18 & 19 (double week)

[Levenspiel]

The 2nd half of the season starts today.

[Serbian_Layup]

What a terrific defender Srefan Marković is, all these years has been one of the best and most versatile defenders in Europe.

Petrušev can score in a variety of ways, becoming really good on both ends and playing with huge confidence.

[Obina]

Markovic is 4th PG. But when you are missing Vildoza, Facu and Ivanovic, he must play.

[R1ou]

Worst game we've played so far this season, absolutely horrible to watch by both sides.

[saras]

panathinaikos and fener by far the worst teams in euroleague offensively. nobody moves, no screens, no ball movement. and from us thats expected cause we have this autist clown radonjic as a coach. fener should be better with itoudis and the best passer of all time

He would have played anyway. Basketball is not played only on offense.

Yeah passing and defense, thats all what he can do. The problem is that nobody of the wings can play with the ball sufficiently or shoot. You cant build around Calathes and Wilbekin and expect to be successful.

[Obina]

He would have played anyway. Basketball is not played only on offense.

He is not better than Facu even in defense.

But I can agree that he could be useful for 5 minutes. He is so far from his best days.

At least we are watching Panathinaikos trying to win the game, so far. Against Olympiacos they gave it up and at their last game in basket league it seemed like they tried to lose on purpose.

He is not better than Facu even in defense.

But I can agree that he could be useful for 5 minutes. He is so far from his best days.

Campazzo? He has yet to play a single game in Euroleague. Marković is the type of player who can thrive alongside creative point guard like he used to play with Teo in NT. He is a lot bigger than Campazzo and you could see what that means in the first half against Real. Past his prime but he can comfortably play alongside Campazzo and Vildoza in some matchups.

[Straight forward]

I. Taylor has some T. Endey in him Instant offense of the bench as his debut for Zalgiris.

[saras]

i live in frankfurt but i got an offensive rebound from fener as well

[Straight forward]

Teodosic one of the kind. Legendary PG and the dying breed it seems. Great game.

But OMG what kind of Zalgiris this season! Real fighters and terrific effort to close the game at both ends. Great physicality, great hustle. Zalgiris is legit contender for top 8 team. Brazdeikis delivers again. He's improving. And Taylor is super quick, he can split the D. Zalgiris still in the game.

PS: You gotta love Butkevicius. Dude spent his career outside EL, but he has been solid EL player for last 4 years as it appears. Snatched 20eff points like it's nothing.

Fener was without Bjelica and Jekiri, their absence was more than evident under the paint. Pana grabbed 26 offensive rebounds and yet managed to lose the game, unbelievable.

Haha good one. I am amazed that a team can beat Efes in this category.

Fener was without Bjelica and Jekiri, their absence was more than evident under the paint. Pana grabbed 26 offensive rebounds and yet managed to lose the game, unbelievable.

At this point I don't think we can count them as missing. They never really were there. Amazing feat regardless.
