Euroleague Regular Season: Week 8

[Levenspiel]

Surprisingly one of the difference maker is Simon. He is having key role on ball movement and scoring critical points. Also he is not very good but average defender this year
Micic, Moerman are playing above my expectations...

When things go well, everyone seems to be doing better. Even the fans started to fill up the arena now after many years. Moreover, I think this time it's not a fluke. the chemistry is clearly there, it's a massive improvement. until Ataman gets broken

absolutely agreed on Simon. When we signed him last year, one of the selling points was his playmaking ability, and we really started to see it now. plus he's knocking down some big shots. In this respect, taking responsibility in the crunch time, we have at least 3 solid options now.

Larkin, Simon and Beaubois?

Lol, teams ask all the time.

you can ask whatever you want, but referee doesn't do anything, because teams are asking him.

It has happened a million times, but as I was saying 'double standards'.

[Adon]

Really? You should place a bet if you are so certain. Oly lost to Fener in the last second and was close till the end against CSKA at Moscow. Maybe Real will win but I don't think they will get 25 wins in the regular season. They will lose some games.

I'm certain for very few things and Oly-Real game is not among them. Real can be awful or/and Oly can play an amazing game. I don't believe it's the most probable scenario though. The last games of your team and mine were disappointing even when we won.
We certainly don't look like elite teams.

Some thoughts on the previous posts:

Without Llull, Ayon, Kuzmic, Oly seems a slight favorite to me now (at home). As Adon says though, it’s just one game and anything can happen. Oly has severe trouble guarding the perimeter so we we’ll have to see how they deal with this. Randolph-Print and Tavares-Milu are all star matchups.

Refs don’t check the replay because players ask them. They check the replay because that’s what they decided.

Simon is an amazing player who has hurt my trust multiple times in Fantasy :P Efes really seems different this year. They genuinely seem like a team that will fight very hard for a F4 spot.

If they made the wrong call (they did) and were so sure about it they didn't feel any need to check even after being asked, they're terrible.

So I'm looking forward to the day they'll be terrible in our favour cause so far they tend to be terrible against us.


Higgins is the real star in cska.

I love that Shved gave his post game interview while "You're the Best" played in the background. Deal with it Interbasket haters!!

Yet another heart breaker by Žalgiris.

Maybe today..m??


Edit: 3rd overtime for Zalgiris this season...

Am i the only one who thinks that, this is the best euroleague season with the new format?

Much more good teams and much more good games when compared to previous seasons.

[MrRager]

As Zalgiris fan I can say I AM TIRED OF THIS FUCKING SHIT

Yeah. There are 3 teams at the bottom that are visibly weaker (not trainwrecks like what efes or armani used to be, just having to deal with limited resources) but beyond that it's crazy competitive.
That there is even a chance for this Zalgiris team to miss the playoffs is crazy.

[arelg]

what a game between zalgiris and cska

[Oly_fan]

Calathes with the textbook unsportsmanlike, he has the audacity to ask for a review and the refs do go (!) and even change the decision!!!

Yeah, it's totally by chance that these things happen.


Very rarely does reality confirm what someone says so quickly.

[Overthetop]

CSKA vs. Zalgiris game was great, congrats to both -CSKA for the win, Zalgiris for struggle- teams.
