What do you mean? There are 4 hours until Fener - Barça, or if you meant Khimki - Madrid () it is in 3.5 hours

Even when we are in a bad position, the supporters are still filling the Ülker Arena.

Come on! You are Fener! not some CSKA/Zenit! I would have been shocked if you weren't able to sell out the Arena today.
You came from 6 straight wins, 3 of them in the EL and you playing against a decent team in a game that is super interesting + has a good chance of a decent basketball level game. Great game to watch for everyone, and even better for a fan of one of the teams.

Agreed. I think the more impressive thing was us being able to fill about half of the arena in inconsequential local league games when the team was playing like shit

@maccabeo: Looking forward to this game!
The mark of a great team is not if they beat another great team (Barca) but if they can do that consistently.
A win tonight will send a huge message to everyone.

I think Maccabi are a contender this year. Not saying they can beat Efes 3/3, but if it was one game (the final, for example), they have a chance to beat any one game!

Also, I think other teams will go into injury problems in the future. I DON'T hope for it! But it will happen and then the odds against Maccabi will be more even...

not considering other eventual team's injury, im 100% agree
many forget that i was the lonely, true lonely one who consider this team a very well bulted team. not a perfect team as calo was out and acy in, but surely a playoff team with chances to get f4 having diba black. and sure, in one single match we can beat any team thats because in a special night we have potential 25-30 point from the arch and sfair gave us periemtral org, offensively and defensively, something totally misconsideing whole mta history

[Katastroika]

Mirota's jab step is not defandable on EL niveau.

[vivo]

Barcelona getting every single bullshit call out there... Not surprising when you have Javor and Bissang, two incompetent referees together

Edit: We are playing like shit too. But it doesn't excuse such incompetence

[Killer Bob]

Veseli could have easy 5 fouls in first Q.

[Katastroika]

Refs doing great so far. I really don't see anyone being favoured. I paid attention to Sloukas because all this beef from Fener fans to him, he is ballhogging indeed. Maybe I am tripping because I am focused completely on it but I get your guys point.

No make it 10

Refs are good in the second Q and Barça is defending well, also our guys are too triggered to play simple. My issue was with snowflake calls in the 1st Q
