EL2022/23 - The Final Four (Kaunas)

[janketa]

Now we know why Mirotic is 0:6 in F4.

I knew that long time ago and tried to explain to you the difference between big and just overated players(him and Larkin), on the other side Larkin 2:3

[Killer Bob]

You can't blame Saras that the most expensive EL player chokes as f...Mirotic had his open shots all night long. Only himself to blame. Tavares the real MVP and Chacho still.

Barca brought him and gave him everyone he wanted to win F4 not to just play. He for sure can be blamed.

Credit to Real. Llull with that dirty move on Punter is still their MVP You gotta think they are just destined to win this year.

Barca just can't put it all together. This level of basketball leaves something to desire speaking in overall. Euroleague needs new wave of quality players. But it's not coming.

[Toruko]

Mirotic, the biggest choker in F4 history. Definitely worse than Teodosic. Giving him 4,5 millions is just a joke.

if I didn't watch the game I would be sure that Llull almost killed Punter.

Straight Forward's favorit player Lapro had 4/15 fg, in big game, Congrats dude for your knowledge

I am sorry that "irrelevant" Kuric had just 4/9, with better coach he should be over 50%

[Serbian_Layup]

Hard to win when Sanli can't box out Hezonja in the paint or Mirotić missing all wide open threes. It happened too many times for Barca and Saras' responibility is for not recognizing this. Something is always missing.

Tavares at this level of basketball is good enough to dominate.

When it was -6 in the end, Lapro was wide open, but instead of making a 3pt attempt he did a horrible thing which i can't even describe.

Yes, Lapro choked, but when and where Kuric was better than he was with Saras in 2021/2022 season? He always was a role player.

This. Some bad Barca players + Mirotic a big time choking + the most valuable player in Europe (Tavares). That's IMO the main things.

I already told you once and will say it again - check some facts before making a claim. It would take me quite a bit to make a list of his big games in both club and NT.

It's not just up to Mirotić, Barca is lacking something as a team. They just don't have a good fit.

[Obina]

May it be finally end of Saras-SanLi era?

I hope Real will win euroleague.

[MikeMaccabiFan]

As expected Monaco is trash. Not exactly final 4 material.

Yes, Maccabi should have been there. But combination of not very smart coach and corrupt referees prevented that.

[Straight forward]

I think Barcelona has to unleash Jokubaitis next season. Tonight he was close to steal the show, but couldn't earn clutch minutes with 2 missed shots in the second half, but he's very close to become the sharpest and most dominant offensive guard of Barcelona. You look at Sato's numbers and 3 assists 7 points is just not enough. Jokubaitis provided that in 12 minutes, not 30 like Sato. He couldn't lead Barca as the floor general. Jokubaitis has star's upside in EL, I think Barca should make that shift, off course that depends on whenever Jokubaitis can make yet another step forward. Teodosic was unleashed in the same timing for OLY, Barca should do it I think. I think building around Jokubaitis should be one of Barca's priorities in upcoming 3-4 seasons. And they should solve Mirotic issue. He's a role player, not a leader. Had to stay in NBA and have a perfect career. He failed miserably trying to be a leader.

Real won the favorite at both playoffs and semifinal. Good for them that Olympiakos is considered to be the favorite of the final.
