Efes in some 3/4 querters is playing like european warriors team version.Nobody has no answers for that in euroleague.
But in last querters Efes are choking big time like little scared team from second turkish division.
I wouldnt be suprised seeing efes again leading and being superior team for 38min in final and choking their title in last 2minutes

Unbeliabable 2nd half of Efes. We all knew their attack is based on individual quality, quickness and shoots of some individuals, but disorientation on this level in such important game is really surprising. Fell of burden, panic, anxiety all of that we saw in players faces of Efes. Larkin missed 2x ft, Micic wanted to be hero, some other players did not dare to take responsibility. 1st half also is not really good. Against Real they were very close to win in 3rd and 4th game and they missed, 5th game was more uncertain than could. It seems like Efes is in such period on one point at this moment they cannot move. Of course, in final they could play best game ever they played , but from this point of view there are many potential problems and they did not have solutions until now.

Heard Micic's post game interview and he said the reason he fouled out was because he lost his legs due to tiredness. I looked at his stats and until that moment when he fouled out, he played all but six seconds of entire game...that's just a heavy load, Ataman has to do a better job keeping his most important players fresh for final minutes. I don't understand why he waits for so long to get Larkin in the game during first and third quarter, that might affect his rhythm.

First of all I’m so relieved, Efes played amazing for 3 quarters, a total joy to witness, but then I got grabbed out of the fairytale and put in hell lol. Shane’s performance today however was an absolute inexcusable sh(..). Micic played amazing, Sertac did too, but they didnt drag it over the line as usual and Cska did have an opportunity to win, I dont wanna think of what would have happened if Clyburn made that 3. We got away barely, let’s hope it is a big big lesson for in the final, especially for Shane.

The game was quite energetic and watchable. I have mixed feelings at the end. Seems like it was for the 1st time in the EL that I was not EXPECTING that we might win/ I was only HOPING for a win.. And this makes the loss much easier. I am happy that the team gave a fight. This year was really tough. It would have been a miracle to win in these circumstances, with Milutinov and James and all that... But the team has showed character, and that's great.
As for Efes - I do not believe that team can win the championship, regardless of the opponent. And that is a consolation in itself.

Congrats to Ataman besides all. He took it. But he maybe doesn't know how exactly. At the end it's not even that important.
By the way foul of Larkin at last rebound and he got awarded with 2 free throws, he hooked.
Biggest disappointment in CSKA is Shengelia. People who claimed he is overrated for big scene are right. They missed Milutinov incredibly. Beaubois made two crucial shots when Efes was in panic. Unsung hero.

Ataman wasn't as stupid as I expected, yet he kept in the game Sanli and Singleton long enough to win the game.
Though Moerman had better pir then Singleton he made many mistakes in defence that let CSKA to come back.
Luck on Efes side was Micic's 5th foul. He isn's player for cluch time and he proved that again. He is great player but he must settle things in his head. Unforced errors he is doing are not usual for the mvp player.
Ataman was ok, just involving Moerman was mistake. Singleton is fit player and he can play 40 minutes without problem.
What to say about Sanli? I am not fan of Efes but I am glad that this guy proved what I am talking the whole season. When matters he didn't choke. The best Efes's player tonight.
