Good guys up by 2, less than 4 minutes to go.

Can our plucky 8th seed knock down the giant?

Looks like Zizic is their go-to scorer here in crunch time.. 4 fouls though (5 to foul out in EL?)

Good guys up 4 with 2:30 to play. Timeout Real Madrid, with the ball.

Just watching the play-by-play, but Zizic with two of the last three baskets here in crunchtime.

Two FTs for Madrid makes it 78 all with 1:08 to play. I'm sweating.

Zizic looks good. His guards, particularly Wanamaker are pretty bad passers who are going heroball 1 on 3 here so most of his offense is getting it himself off the boards.

Zizic is a consensus top 10 pick in this year's draft cause of the improvements he's made this year. He's still only 20 years old.
Good assessment:

Good guys with the ball, up two, going to the line, 7 seconds left. Go Brad Wanamaker.

Edit: makes both. Timeout Real Madrid, down four, 6 seconds left. This one should be over.

Good guys win.

Zizic with 17/8, highest "Performance Index Rating" on the team, according to the euroleague.net boxscore, in a #8 over #1 upset win (ties series 1-1).

Not bad for a day's work.

Judging solely from some of the clips this year and his numbers, Zizic might have more skill and athleticism than has been sold. He can move, jump, dribble and shoot FTs pretty good for a C.

By the way. I've always thought "Gregg" was the most annoying name. Because it shouldn't be possible for 60% of your name to be the letter g.

Sergio Llull just took over the top spot. Come on now. 80% of your last name is the letter L. That's just silly.

He has some serious hops. He was getting his head up near the rim.

As somebody who followed Nurkić when he was about his ( Žižić's )age, Žižić is far superior prospects. Way more athletic, better shape, better motor.
