Yalla, Maccabi!

26:22 Cavs after the 1-st 1/4.
Bufford drives me crazy...God damn retard...

55:40 Cavs at the break.
They punish Maccabi for every quick shot with a deadly fastbreak. I like what I see from Noel Felix. He is aware of his limitations on offence.Concentrates on rebounding, block shots, etc. Exactly what we need. He really can be the guy who helps on defence, like Baston was. Very athletic and energetic. Showed nice passing ability as well. All the others were pretty average. Still the team play is far from being perfect, but there is some improvement. Buford continues to stink. It looks like he is not a player for Europe. Tries to shoot on any situation and only if the shot is totally impossible (which is a rare thing with him), he passes. Whenever he tries to penetrate, it's almost certain turnover. The only postitive thing - he definitely can shoot. If he could just concentrate on shooting whenever he has a good shot and finishing fastbreaks, he could be of some value, but it looks like he is just not ready to do that and will try to do something difficult enough times in the game to drive everybody crazy.

38-71 Cavs according to nba.com

The nba.com score is incorrect, they've deducted 10 points from Maccabi's score for some reason.

I've watched Will Bynum play since he was in high school, and I'm not sure why Maccabi signed him...he's not that good to begin with but also seems unsuited to the European game.

67-93 for Cavs..

I am quite sure that Maccabi won't make the Final Four this year. Yes I know this prediction is too soon, but I can't see any chemistry in that team. The dynasty of Maccabi is over....For now.

I am sure they'll be trying to build up again for a few years.

If "horses" and other big rivals will think so, our chances to kick their asses will rise

How could you see any chemistry?
It's a new team, and you try to judge by those games (completely unneccessary, in my opinion) with NBA teams. Maccabi had more games than practices... I guess we"ll see real Maccabi only near January-February, not before. Even so, Maccabi should make it to Top16, and than we"ll see.

(Just red that Pao lost to Olympia Patras - so do you want to bet that Pao wouldn't be in F4?)
