Euroleague Regular Season: Week 26

[saras]

I think Maccabi and Olympiakos will make the 8 because they have the easiest program than the rest. Fener, CSKA, Real, Barca, Efes are definates.

This only leaves 1 space open really.

There will have to be colossal upsets for Maccabi and Oly not to make the 8.

The fact that Pana suck in regards to the head to heads and potentially having to get the differance vs Milano and Baskonia makes it all more difficult. The situation calls for a W in Moscow.

A 16-16 record doesn't guarantee us a place. We can easily go out on goal average.

ts 16-14 and it does guarantee a spot at top8. lets say that olympiakos will be at top8 cause they have the easiest schedule

maccabi 12-13(tied with us). i think they will have 3-2 record in these matches and end up at 15-15
vs efes (efes has 1,5 win from barcelona but still not sure about home court advantage. they play against csska next week,so they need the victory)
vs zalgiris (will most probably win the match but zalgiris is zalgiris anyway,noone knows)
at khimki (they have no motivation but its an away match)
vs canaria (easy win for maccabi)
at fener (maybe without motivation,maybe they will fight for 1st place. away match with the best team so far though,not sure maccabi can count that as an easy win)

armani 13-12 (1 win above us). i think they will win against olympiakos and lose the rest apart from us. 15-15 at best if they win us,i dont think they can win away matches at madrid or efes or at home against fener fighting for 1st spot
vs olympiakos
at real
vs panathinaikos
vs fener
at efes (maybe not guaranteed 4th spot. barcelona plays the next day. thanks jordi for the schedule of the last week )

baskonia 13-12 (1 win above)
vs buducnost
at panathinaikos (9 point win at spain)
vs real
vs efes
at csska

panathinaikos 12-13
at csska
vs baskonia
at armani
vs real
vs buducnost

there will be team or teams with 15-15 that will qualify. there's not a single possibility(i mean if we win the home matches) to be left out if we win armani(we dont even need the goal average against baskonia in this case). will maccabi win all matches to reach 17 wins? will baskonia will all matches apart from the game against us to reach 17 as well? thats the only way we will be left out. even in 16-14 for both of these teams and panathinaikos the standings will be:
6. olympiakos
7. baskonia
8. panathinaikos
9. maccabi

So who's buying out Davies after this season? Step in line.

Unfortunately Zalgiris hit this form too late.

[Gman365]

Close one in Tel Aviv

Efes a lot of good scorers

[maccabeo]

efes much stronger team but sfairopulous hardly guilthy

[Levenspiel]

these are indicative wins for Efes; getting the score differentials from both Oly and Barca, and now this... well done!

vs CSKA, @Buducnost, @Baskonia, vs Milano: 2 wins out 4 seems quite doable, which most probably means the home court adv. (conditional only to Fener's win tomorrow)

[bukefalos]

I can play better basketball than briante weber
This is for sure

[Gman365]

efes much stronger team but sfairopulous hardly guilthy

Tel Aviv has a great crowd behind them ...Would of been cool to see them win but hats off to Efes....Lots of firepower

Oly falling apart without Spanoulis getting outscored 36-20 so far in the 2nd half.

[Italian Pride]

Another +20 against oly ahahahah

[Italian Pride]

This is for sure

Come on man he is better than Mike James ahahah

[bukefalos]

[Gman365]

Come on man he is better than Mike James ahahah

James takes a lot of heat on this board but he can score...Like him or not he's a talented scorer.

[Axl Rose Is God]

I m ironic

In this forum he has many haters

Another game where Pianigiani owned Blatt,the most overrated coach in this tournament

[Victorious]

Olympiacos is going to win the next four games so they are through as probably 6th or 7th. They were playing for Pao's or Maccabi's chances today. But it was not meant to be. Pao now needs to win the game against Milano away. Otherwise it's all game over.
