EL 2023/24 Play-Offs: Monaco - Fenerbahce

[iskoch]

I think 3-0 Fener.

[EverGreen]

Fener are currently trash at the close out. i can't see them overcoming Monaco.

I think this goes in G5. Everyone will steal 1 game on the road and then anything can happen. Loyd and Okobo are crucial for Monaco. With them having below average games they don't have chance. If they have good games Monaco will be at F4.

I think that FB will make it to the final four in game 5. The last games of Monaco were not very promising.

And you vote 3-1. Typical

Neither from Fener lol. Idk, I think they don't have enough good defenders to stop James and Loyd. And in the paint they depend so much on Motley who is very bad defender and then you have Sanli and Papagiannis who will be destroyed in p&r against guards that Monaco has. I think some different players will decide this series. Like Diallo, J.Brown or Dorsey&Biberovic.

I would say Fenerbahce wins 3-2,,despite Monaco was better until now. More or less is 50-50. I have feeling Monaco 'll lose.

Well, its true, I cant deny it but I dont think that Jasikevicius is going to defend James with Biberovic again. Monaco has surely the better individual talents but James as well as Okobo are either great or horrible and I feel like Monaco lacks kinda some will to win at all cost. Motiejunas also has very slow legs btw. He will be a good target to attack. Much will depend on daily performances.

I think Fener wins one in Monaco and then seals it in Turkey. Good luck Fener friends!

[zubitos]

I think Fener and Oly will meet in the final again.

I can see Hall and J.Brown playing a lot as a duo. Hall can defend quite good Motley. And against anyone he is threat with alley-oops. J.Brown switching on Guduric and Calathes will not bring a lot of positive things for Fener. For me this is the closest matchup from the whole playoffs. Can Calathes be good? Okobo? If Monaco has Okobo on 10-12 pts, Loyd on 12-14, James on 17-20 per game then Fener doesn't have a chance. When it matters the most who is the guy you give the ball in Fener? Monaco has that guy. We will see, very hard to predict but I see Monaco winning.

I agree. If Okobo makes 10-12 it should be over for FB. In terms of game finishing issues I am not very pessimistic... Wilbekin is in a quite good shape and there are guys like Biberovic and Dorsey who should use his playoff and Final 4 experience in those playoff games. Calathes has been very solid recently but the last three games forces me to put a question mark behind his name.

I think the biggest problem for Fenerbahce will be the p & r defense. Sanli, Papagiannis and also Motley should suffer a lot. Papagiannis should be unusable and Sanli cant cope with the athleticism of Monaco. FB desperately needs good shooting days and the will to fight. FB is gonna need an x factor. It could be Dorsey or even Biberovic.

I can't see how Fener will pass Monaco. The only spots they're better is the coach and Hayes. Every other position is better at Monaco, guards especially are much better, and they're a tougher team. Fener needs some exceptional performances, imho, mainly from Saras. This is actually his opportunity to level up.

[Axl Rose Is God]

Fener 3-0. It smells like 2017.

If Saras is better he needs to prove that, until now he didn't. Crutial game for HCA vs Milan he lost by letting Wilbekin's wild shooting(5/16)
I don't say Willbekin is the only problem in Fener , but the most important for us is to play without gamble if one player will have great or awful night.
