Originally posted by Jazz View PostI only saw a bit of Burgos' game earlier but they looked pretty solid. I'm sure Toruko will be able to say more about Karsiyaka, but to defeat Zaragoza is pretty impressive.
Karsiyaka is probably the best defensive team in the tournament or lets say one of the top defensive teams. Offensively, they are too dependent. Just Henry and Taylor use 70% of all balls and if you are able to lock them it can really get messy for Karsiyaka. They survived chockings in the games with their great defense though.
Another point to worry is Semih Erden. Wiley ate him alive today. He is not only slow as hell, he also lacks effort and Raymar Morgan was very tired today.
Its a 51% to 49% thing. I see Burgos slightly ahead of Karsiyaka because they have really experienced guys who are used to play final games in in the CL but it will be a dogfight for sure.

Back to back it is man !!!
Like you say, big achievement to repeat as champions. Especially when we consider how AEK were finalists last year and ended up not even making the final 8 this time.

I'll go Burgos 51-49.......Tough one to pick though.
You gonna watch the ACB playoffs ?
I don't watch too much of the domestic leagues atm, buw saw amount of Italian league when Eurosport showed the games the previous couple of seasons.
What other leagues have you been watching recently? IIRC you were checking out the New Zealand league last year?

Originally posted by Gman365 View PostJust did the Euroleague and the Spain ACB this year....Didn't want to spread myself too thin betting and following too many leagues like i did in the past.......Haven't watched the NZ NBL so far this year....Really enjoyed it last year because it started right after the whole sports world was shut down for months......Really hit the spot at the time.....Fun, fast style of hoops but like i said , i'm through following a million leagues spreading myself too thin......

Not sure if you're paying attention or not but i've been checking it out at bit now that the Euroleague is pretty much done.....

Originally posted by Jazz View PostJust looked it up. Venezia are just a consistently strong team so not surprised to see them win, but you reckon Sassari looked stronger in these games?
Venezia shot 38 three balls in game one.....Now you know why De Raffaele is one of maccabeo's favorite coaches...Lol

Sassari with a 16 point 2nd half lead in game 5 and lose again.....They should of won all five games and end up losing the series....Crazy man....
I feel bad for them but in the end they gotta take some heat for not having the mental toughness to close out one of those road games........Still one of the most heartbreaking series losses that i've seen in recent memory though......
