As the rosters are coming to completion, I think we now have a number of teams that are the favourites for the playoffs ( top8 )
Of course this is all in theory. Everything will have to be proven on court.
Those are ( in random order )
Fener
Real
Barca
Cska
Milano
Maccabi
Khimki
Efes
I also like what Basconia is building. Saras's Zalgiris is going to be a tough opponent but their roster seems mediocre. My team, Olympiacos is quite good positions 2-5, but is extremely weak in the crucial position 1. Zvezda is going to be one hard team to beat. Alba and Villeurbanne I don't think they will do much, and I cannot predict anything about Bayern,Zenit and Valencia, since they might flop, but they might also surprise us. Pana is going to be as per usual, using the OAKA arena for a number of wins, and probably fail in most away courts, it also has the worst coach in the Euroleague.
