playoffs candidates

[maccabeo]

as real efes barca cska still are in playoffs, there are four more place. imo pana is 90% in .fener 80%. mta would be 100% in with original roster but acutally i think we have 80% chances . last, i think armani could get 8th place
we ll see

[Adon]

The only question about MTA is the final place. Somewhere 4-6 imo.

[Toruko]

My prediction:

1. Efes
2. Real Madrid
3. Barcelona
4. CSKA
5. MTA
6. PAO
7. Fenerbahce
8. Zvezda

[Katastroika]

First 6 are quite obvious right now. It's hard to admit but I think that we won't make it this year, schedule is ultra brutal and we lost our chances last week in double-header.

I think Valencia has a good schedule until the end and if they beat Fener they will end up 7th, I expect Fener on 8th place. Or vice versa. Olimpia, Himki and Zvezda with some chances but in my opinion behind Valencia and Fener.

1.efes
2.real madrid
3.barcelona
4.csska
5.panathinaikos
6.maccabi
7.valencia
8.fener or khimki

MTA is too far ahead and too good at home to miss now...Their injuries are probably gonna cost them home court in the playoffs though.....

I think Ponsarnau is an underrated coach and that team does have character and good offensive depth......The defense is a weakness though....

Pretty sure the top 6 are set and if Fener does get in that makes 7......So the question becomes is it gonna be Valencia or Milan ? I don't think CZ and Khimki are quite good enough.....Thought Khimki was gonna make it when they were 6-2 but not anymore......

[DraxDomax]

Hard to say about MTA. I think things are very fragile there. A few losses and we might see spirits break. The team is physically and emotionally strung maybe a little too high for this stage - there's plenty more to go and that team has been through a lot already!

wow mate, you have real confidence in Milano. that's quite different than what the majority seems to think.

First 6 are quite obvious right now. It's hard to admit but I think that we won't make it this year, schedule is ultra brutal and we lost our chances last week in double-header.

yes, the first 6 is more or less settled, and that's why I think it's important to finish at the top 2 spots; there is a clear-cut quality difference between the first 6 and the rest.
Efes may prefer another team than Fener at 7/8th place but Fener is still much more preferable than any of the top other 5 above, so it won't really matter.

I think the last 2 spots will eventually go to Fener and Oly.

[DraxDomax]

OK Here's mine:
1. Efes
2. Real
3. CSKA
4. Maccabi (!)
5. Barcelona
6. Milano
7. Pau
8. Valencia

[Elmojoya]

1. Efes
2. CSKA
3. Real
4. Barcelona
5. Panathinaikos
6. Maccabi
7. Fenerbahce
8. Valencia

[Mindozas]

I'm sticking to my pre-season predictions (in no particular order): Real, Barca, CSKA, Efes, Maccabi, PAO, Fener, Milan. Back then had 7 sure teams and thought that for the last spot it will be a race between PAO with Pedoulakis and Khimki ,with PAO having an upper hand. Now with Pitino PAO should be safe. Khimki with Shved won't make it. I think those surprise packages like Zvezda, Valencia will go down a bit and fall short of making it, while Fener eventually will jump into PO train, Milan will keep its position.

[maccabeo]

actually everything is more clear to me
7 teams are in for sure
armani and valencia will fight for last place
