OT - Basketball lovers special (Euroleague F4) 

Post#1 » by imithanos » Fri May 15, 2015 4:00 pm

For the true basketball lovers look for the F4. The first game starts now. Olympiakos-CSKA Moskow. In 3h Fenerbahce-Real Madrid.
It's rare all the 4 best teams of the league this season to qualify for the f4.

Lame highlights from yesterday's games. But the only decent I could find.

Tomorrow the final will be a rematch of the one 2 years ago.

On paper Real Madrid is the absolute favorite. Its roster has tremendous depth and they have the home court advantage since the F4 takes place in Madrid. They are a team of rhythm though. If the game remains close in the 4th period, they may lose their concentration. Olympiakos has won the 2 of the 3 last trophies and has stronger mentality, but many players have left the team in the last 2 years and a lot of its current players play for the first time in F4.

Guys to keep an eye on:
Real Madrid
- Rodríguez, the brain and best player of the team.
- Rudy Fernandez, the flopper :lol: , but the most talented offensive player
- Ayon, who has brought great energy under the baskets.
Nevertheless, players like Llull, Bourousis, Reyes are well experienced players, capable of changing the momentum of a game.

Olympiakos
- Spanoulis of course, the best clutch player atm in Europe and leader of this team.
- Printezis, one of the top-5 PF in Euroleague
- Mantzaris and Sloukas, the 2 young guards, whose defense and contribution in offense play a key role in Olympiakos game.
Their bench is like that of Bucks. When 1-2 players score ~10p the chances to win increase strongly.
No hay banda.

Yeah, pretty bad game. Both teams played below standards.
