I swear Milano has the weirdest roster of all time. I don't recall anything similar. Maybe that roster of Darussafaka in their 1st season in the EL where they had like 17 players of the same quality. Milano literally have no guards. Hall either scores 0 pts or 15. Lo has no idea where he is and then you also have like 3 players all near 2.10m on the same time on the court
Shields plays at SG...I think the last time he played there was while he was in Trento. Maybe not even there...crazy made roster. And yeah, I know there are some people defending Can but he makes a lot of mistakes IMO. Today he lost the game. You can't have lineup of Osmani, Jones and Yilmaz at the same time when the game is close. Then taking out Thompson when he is hot after 5 mins of the quarter...a lot of ISO plays. Either that or give Larkin to create something. That roster has to play better.

Fener roster is bunch of untalented players and jerks.

I don't remember in last 15 years that we didn't have a single creative ball handler in the roster. Thank you Itoudis for one more lost season

And btw we are the only team that lost player due to injury, but isn't on the market after that because all of the sudden Calathes is ok

I see Papagiannis is slowly turning to his usual shit self. Hates the paint if it's crowded and can't even post a midget. Fouls easily having the worst ratio of fouls committed to gained. Gets regularly bullied under the rim by stronger players despite have a height advantage. He needs a pass-first guard to make him look adequate.

This is so true. He hasnt even a post game but he started stretching the floor.

[janketa]

I understand that Itoudis lose games with bunch of street players(btw he brought half of them) but don't understand how clown Can with one of the best rosters lose games with big margin in continuity

Haha, amazing reference.
I find it weird that Messina has been so dismissive of Pangos when like you said, their other guards haven't been any better.

Surely it is now time for Levenspiel to disavow Can? When you're losing to a crisis club like Milano then you're now the crisis club.

[Killer Bob]

Real with far the best roster and it shows.

[tonia]

If there was an award for the most technical fouls received, noone would ever beat Ataman.

[saras]

another easy win today for PANATHINAIKOS. nunn still not as good as we expect him, but he was improved. its strange for an nbaer that he hasnt been called for travelling so far. mitoglou the best player once again, grant 3rd game in a row without a turnover (7points, 7 assists, 5 steals) and lithuanian lans armostrong did a couple of good actions in the last quarter but in general pretty bad as usual. now valencia again in home,we need that victory too, before the 2 away games against 2 mediocre teams like partizan and efes, that have good players but terrible teamwork

[paspalj]

Important win for Panathinaikos who a 3rd win in a row against a very good team. Mitoglou has risen to be easy in the top 3 of PF in the EL.

Game by game Grant turns out to be the most underrated signing. He does everything and his defense is great.

For me he is TOP 3 player in the whole EL right now. He scores so easy and he is literally everywhere.

OAKA was yesterday close to being sold out, which wasnt a fact against teams like virtus, even on the glory days(there 15-16K fans yesterday). And probably against valencia next week, it will be same, if not even more. After that our next home game is against real, which will be sold out i think, cause of the name of opponents and hezonja. A full packed OAKA offers 85-90% winrate thats instant playoff spot and after that you only need 6-7 away wins to get HCA

There are also many turkish fans of the biggest club in turkey, Galatasaray, that congratulate us and cheer for the team. Maybe we will see people cheering for the team in turkey in 20 days against efes.
