#1 Varese (23-7) - #8 Venezia (16-14)
#4 Milano (19-11) - #5 Siena (18-12)
#2 Sassari (22-8) - #7 Cantù (17-13)
#3 Roma (20-10) - #6 Reggio Emilia (18-12)
Quarterfinals, semifinals, finals, all series are best of 7.
Well, it seems to me we're going to enjoy a very promising postseason, with the Milano-Siena clash in the QF. More generally, all the matchups should be quite balanced and there is room for upsets. One thing, for sure, is that one side of the bracket (Varese, Siena, Milano, Venezia) is clearly stronger than the other, although there should not be a clear favorite for the final win, so I say that at least six off the eight teams have chances to clinch the title.
Most of the contenders have made late-season movements to add quality and depth to their roster.
Varese -----> Dejan Ivanov (PF, Lietuvos Rytas)
Sassari -----> Drew Gordon (PF/C Partizan), Sani Becirovic (PG, Petrochimchi)
Roma -----> Bryan Bailey (PG/SG, Bayreuth)
Milano -----> Pops Mensah-Bonsu (PF/C, Cajasol)
Siena -----> Dionte Christmas (SG, free agent, formerly with CSKA)
Cantù -----> Joe Ragland (PG/SG, Ucam Murcia)
