Another hell week kicking off on Tuesday.

CSKA Moscow - Real Madrid ? - ? (Game of the month for my team. Unpredictable for me. On the one hand, Real is a much better and organized team, but at home CSKA will be very motivated. So, it may go either way)
Khimki - Valencia Basket 50 - 50 (Seems like Khimki should win this game easily, but this team is proving time and again that they can lose to anyone)
Anadolu Efes - AX Armani Milan 70 - 30
Fenerbahce - ASVEL Villeurbanne 55 - 45
Olympiacos - ALBA Berlin 55 - 45
Maccabi Tel Aviv - FC Barcelona 50 - 50 (IMO despite having great players, Barca's roster is overestimated. A well organized and motivated team has good chances to win against them)
Zenit St Petersburg - Baskonia 60 - 40
Crvena Zvezda - Zalgiris 60 - 40 (HCA rules)
Panathinaikos - Bayern Munich 70 - 30

Panathinaikos 65 - Bayern Munich 35

[Katastroika]

Zvezda with this injury trouble is if just a minimal favourite against Zalgiris. Complete open game to me.

Zalgiris is 5th best offensive rebounding team (factor that will have major impact tomorrow), but worst 3 point shooting percentage in all EL (and their best shooter is missing), one of fewest assist per game statlines and 5th worst offense. It will be a dogfight as always against team.

Overall statistics between zvezda and Zalgiris since 1998: 5-4 Zalgiris.

Nice picks!

Let's play rankingball as we watch Euroleague!

[maccabeo]

with diba-black it was a 50-50 game. today , to win we d 15 points by Reynold, 20 from Dorsey and 30 sp attempts (40% in)

[saras]

good luck real madrid and barcelona. i hope real keeps their winning streak going and barcelona bounce back from the defeat last week on their home.

I know this is a little off topic but it does deal with Zalgiris. I work at a college in the US that has a student who won a scholarship from CGTrader. The employee who I am in contact with in Vilnius will be attending the Zalgiris game next week. He (I think--Juste is the first name) was suprised when I asked him about Zalgiris. Just to show what a small world we have become.

Sykes is a horror of a player. What a brainless piece of wood.

What is it he's so bad at ?

I'm watching Valencia Khimki

[Katastroika]

Decision making.

[iraz]

Who has ever seen this? 5 min in the 3rd Q - not a single shot by Real///

[iraz]

Just unbelievable! 43 - 43 at the end of the 3rd Q. Is it CSKA - Real or what? Some outstanding oldfashioned bball

[vivo]

Fenerbahçe in 2nd quarter today had one of the most hungry and dominant performances we have seen from them in a while. Of course it is only against Asvel... But seriously, just watch it if you have time
