This was a strange game where both teams alternated mini runs. Satoransky and Rubio duo looked terrible, but the shooters stole the game for Barca. I agree they don't look scary for the playoffs.

In the earlier game, Moses Wright also made a huge, game deciding three, though before the last offense.

If understand correctly if those 3 teams beats weaker left opponnets standings will look : 1.Real 2.Pao 3.Monaco 4.Barcelona

It would be 3 team tie for 2-4th places and decider is this : Pao has 3-1 Monaco 2-2 Barca 1-3 in games between each other


If Fener want to get Barcelona they must win last 2 games and take 5th spot.


If no big upsets happens, result in direct last game between Olympiakos vs Fener

Winner of that game should get Barcelona in 1/4 series

Loser of that game should get Monaco in 1/4 series



How badly Virtus looks last 2 months its very good chance 3rd playoofs series will look

Panathinaikos vs Maccabi

Monaco is even better fit then Barca, just not Pao or Oly

You have players to keep Loyd, James and Okobo on decent numbers?

Yes, we have other problems though

Awful coaching from Mijatovic in 1st half. I noticed just one single action that couldn;t be called iso. It's not just Clyburn anymore, there are Thopmson, Bryant, Beaubois, almost every backcourt guy

On the other side Saras already made system, where we played poor but at least players share the ball. Willbekin helped a lot with turnovers but efes realy doesn't deserve with this system and coach to be in play in. Sorry Larkin

[coinho]

Fener never gives up.
Efes secured play-in, so we just waiting for Real Madrid - Baskonia game too see if we gonna get all play-in teams tonight.

[Levenspiel]

ugly game in the first half, but exciting ending in Istanbul. I guess this traditional late awakening of Efes has not been a fluke.

janketa Clyburn is different these days. He used to go for isos posting up, stopping the ball, killing the offense, giving up in defense.. Now he's attacking face up, which creates all kinds of issues for the defenders and opens up options for his teammates. I'll take this version of him, but no extension for the next year.

[Edgar]

We deserve so badly to lose this game. Grant, Grigonis and Mitoglou play like they want so badly to have 4 days in a row in Barcelona or Monte Carlo.

[janketa]

Mijatovic did just one smart move, that's replacing clown Jones with Oturu

I am still thinking that Efes needs new coach

[Edgar]

I lost 5 years of my life tonight. Huuuuh, thank God Juancho played his best game of the season. Ok, we are 2nd!

[Edgar]

Mijatovic's masterclass, WilbeKING can't beat alone Efes!!!
