Real Madrid vs Anadolu Efes

we can safely mark another L here, and the same for the next 2 vs Barca and Milano.
the following 8 are not easy either. if we go 3-5 (the most likely scenario), that's a 5-12 record, which means Efes needs to win 15/17 in the 2nd half to make the playoffs. that's near impossible.

I think people count this off as an usual slow start, but I don't think it is. EL is tougher this season.

so what I'm saying is, we have to win in Madrid, otherwise there is a significant risk of missing playoffs this time.

[Jazz]

I wonder if there is a bit of complacency because Efes had such a slow start to last season?

[Nemanja95]

I think they have established work system, untighten in some periods, with allowing to lose game who should won by quality, but to play good in key games. In this way, they started this season, but situation gone out of control. In next games they probably continue to have similar problems, but on the level of season ,if they will be mentaly stable, bad start shouldn't be crucial.

What a great passer Milos is!
Quite unpredictably, Virtus is giving Milan a hard time and seems to win the game!

And he was having one of his amazing shooting nights too.

Milan weren't too impressive offensively.

[coinho]

What a game for Teodosic tonight.
He had some clutch shots and got 5/6 shots for 3 points.

[janketa]

4 ex-CSKA players won against 3 ex CSKA players

Quite unpredictably? I won't say that..

Milan is 0/2 (now 0/3) at home in EL

They already won Vs Milan in the supercup

Milan with no SF (baron, shields, datome) and only one PG (mitrou-long and baldasso just back from long stop)...

Milan playing terrible later.

Milan and Virtus have each one 3 wins in EL but Milan has had a tougher schedule so far. I believe Milan with full roster will improve. Either way, congrats to Virtus for the win!

[maccabeo]

two teams with exactly same bball (non) organization without ball moviment for shooters, counting just on individual stars and muscles in the paint.
barca is obvioulsy much stronger and but "ball in the paint system" by saras, depress barca's pontential. if we will win will not be a surprise

Milan was gifted of the game in Munich, while Virtus throw in the garbage the game in Kaunas. Milan also lost at home with Alba.

I agree, both teams are far from their real potential (..as many other teams in these part of the season).

Milan really have no luck with injuries. Now also Tonut got injured.

[tonia]

Nemanja is on fire! Great game of Crvena Zvezda so far.

[Jazz]

It feels like it took about half an hour to finish the final few minutes of the 2Q in this Real - Efes game.

[MikeMaccabiFan]

Wow, what a half time in Tel Aviv...Maccabi missing easy lay ups, and why the hell Lorenzo lets DiBa take ball and loose twice? Even with that Barca wouldn't be so close if not frigging referees...
