EL 2023/24 - Gameday 34

[Edgar]

Yo, question for all Panathinaikos fans. When will tickets for the playoffs be available to buy approximately? This play-in thing is bothering me. Will they wait finish of the play-in or they might start selling before? I don't want to miss them because I believe they will dissapear in 2 hrs max.

[EverGreen]

Then you want Virtus to win tonight, right?

Unless I'm very wrong. A Baskonia W means Virtus end up 10th and play with Mac in the play ins. If they beat Mac we face the winner of Virtus v Baskonia/ Efes.

[iskoch]

Which ever Oly fan I asked today who they prefer to play in the Play offs, they all said Monaco because they have a weak supporting court. They serve fois gras on canape's and champagne in their stadium canteens.

What I want tonight is a Baskonia win so they push Virtus to 10th. They may beat Maccabi in 1 game. I'd rather prefer Virtus as an opponent than Maccabi who are a much superior team and will give PAO a much harder time.

that doesnt make sense bro.
u cant compare these situations.
choosing one of monaco/barca whe u have no hca is not comparable with ur fantasy between maccabi/baskonia/virtus with hca.

No. 7th and 8th plays & 9th and 10th. Loser from 7th and 8th plays then against winner of 9th and 10th and winner of that match goes on Real.

Thanks. I misunderstood the format then.

I guess we both want Virtus win (because you want a surprise vs Maccabi, and I prefer playing in Bologna rather than in Vitoria for the 2nd play-in game), but they're even more terrible than I thought. A Virtus win is still possible in this game, but your surprise vs Maccabi is not happening

[Edgar]

Uhm, so Barca - Oly, Monaco - Fener. I find it very hard for Olympiacos to beat Barca in the best of 5. Monaco - Fener will be very interesting but I still give a little advantage to Monaco.

[Edgar]

Winner of Maccabi - Baskonia goes in OAKA. Maccabi is better team but they don't have homecourt so it's basically the same. Panathinaikos has to have 2-0 before road games. More quality, full OAKA...if we blew this then we are really cursed.

Not so sure. Oly in RND2 was a different animal and until now they have played without Milutinov. With Petrousev, Wright, Fall and Milou they are a totally different beast.

They can't all play. Barca is the best home team. 2 defeats in the 17 games. 1 against Monaco when they couldn't hit sea in the last quarter and 1 against Milano when Hall and Shields played best game of the season. Everything else was pretty much impressive wins. They have Vesely and Willy and can match with them Fall and Wright. On the wings they are for me far superior with Kalinic, Jabari and Satoransky in the lineup with 3 guards.

[janketa]

Fener is such boring team, I didn't even watch the whole game. Saras made some boost last month with Biberovic and guy literally won some games for us, but he is back now to Itoudis;s Davis-Pieree system and that's it. Willbekin 3/10, 1 assist.

As Fener fan I don't care who is opponent, without HCA we are down. Even next season won't be better. We must wait for Willbekin and Pierre contracts to expire. Itoudis destroyed us with his long term contracts

[Nemanja95]

Virtus had 14-5 then they are self-destroying.
Ironically, if Partizan would win vs Olympiacos, will be out of 10 however.
Probably some Partizan's fans would be for hospital in this case after watching Virtus vs Baskonia, one after another shocking win of Baskonia vs Real Madrid and Efes vs Fenerbahce.

Virtue was so fucking lucky in the beginning of the season and eventually ran out jfc they were like top3 with a negative point differential.

In terms of the playoffs pairings, I think Oly has found their stride and they don’t care who they face. They can beat anyone on the road.

Pao really needs to win both games in OAKA. We have a strong team that can win away but I think that we lack the experience that is needed for these games so an extra cushion will be very welcome.

Edgar I think that tickets will be available after the playin tournament so you need to be ready on April 17th to buy tickets. Oh man I’m so jealous. I haven’t been at a playoff game since 2013 I think. Have fun!
