The Final: Real Madrid - Panathinaikos

[Edgar]

I didn't watch almost anything this year, and consequently wasn't exactly invested much. I congratulated Pao and for sure have no interest to go in any kind of fight with a person who doesn't look to have good manners. Pao has won, anything else doesn't matter now.

Oh come on, give me a break, I just like to respond in the same way. No hard feelings lol

Levenspiel I beg you, unban saras, he lived for this

I think he doesn't care about the ibn at the moment

He'll be back in 10 days and take it from there.

Massive congrats to all the PAO fans! The previous few seasons were particularly rough and this turnaround was remarkable.
Ataman is incredible. He talks a big game but he backs it up!

A huge credit to Sloukas as well. Moving to PAO was a huge decision after all his years in Oly but he is totally vindicated by this win, the crowning accomplishment of his career. He was virtually flawless in this final. One of the great Greek guards in the modern Euroleague.

And probably the last one for a long time.

What a game and what a season. Vildoza had 1 good game through whole season in Valencia and today he gave us so much during that 2nd and 3rd quarter. Juancho gave so much against Maccabi in the G5, today also in the 2nd quarter. Grant was keeping us in both games all the time, Sloukas took the bat today and Nunn at the end scored everything like it was nothing....like it's the start of the game. Mitoglou and Lessort whole season were carrying 30 minutes per game in the frontline...unbelieveable story.

And now I go celebrate, Athens is buzzing!

How can I ever trust my own mind and doubt Ataman ever again? The man is a fucking wizard

Unfortunately Toruko is correct about Greek guards (but whatever, that for a different time)

Congrats to fans of Panathinaikos. I m glad they returned on the top. I m especially happy for Mathias Lessort, he is really good person.
Sloukas won Euroleague with third club, Nunn was the best player in Euroleague in first season- Mitoglou and Pappapetrou have done a lot of job.
By the way, it's really good to see Real Madrid losing in season in which they were the best team.

[Levenspiel]

Real scored 23 points in second half. Completely deserved win for Pao. Real panicked when they felt Pao wasn't going down that easy. Mentality makes wonders.

Absolutely. It has so much impact.

[paspalj]

Absolutely. It has so much impact.

I could not believe how fragile their confidence was. Maybe that's why Mateo had to keep the grandpas for so long. I don't know but they were like a different team once they realized that Pao is not going away.

Its the curse of winning the rs. Believe me! Nobody should end up being first.

Toruko, I think it's finally time for you to write that essay on how the foundations of Ataman's philosophy took shape during Galatasaray's 2014-15 season.

Yeah, makes sense, good point. The grandpas do have the mentality, but no legs any more.

He can write that, but Ataman's philosophy came to light when he went to Ulker management and asked them to give him the HC job at 30 years old. They laughed at him and told him to buzz off, and then he went to Turk Telekom and asked them the same. Then he made it to the TBL finals by beating ulker
