[quote name='rikhardur' date='27 March 2009 - 01:07 AM' post='15177']I really disliked PAO's attitude towards the end of the game, no fighting whatsoever, what was in Obradovi?'s mind? They didn't foul when they should, time just running out, no tight defense, it looked like they were just waiting for the loss. I really didn't get it.[/quote]
PAO had 2 fouls, they had two fouls to give, that would take about 10 seconds to do, then another 5 seconds for the 3rd foul and it would be 15 seconds + 2 free throws for Siena (probably McIntyre), so it was better to try and play one clear defense in 20 seconds, which they managed by the way with the difference at -4 but that #%%&* Spanoulis turned the ball over in two seconds!!!
Anyone who was in the arena (like me <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

There is not 1 possible logical explanation of why Spanoulis runs the point when the same team has both Jasikevicius and Diamantidis. Oh my fucking God! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Also sitting a few meters from the court with an excellent view I can not believe how tough Siena plays. I am not complaining or anything, just mentioning it, they must be the most dynamic team of the Euroleague. The only PAO players who can match Siena's players in this kind of style are Diamantidis (who being back from injury was at 50% of his physical attributes) and Hatzivrettas who was the only one ready to get in some tough man to man matchups, so respect to him for messing even with Lavrinovic, who is a 'bad boy' <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Anyway, congrats to Siena, huge and deserved win with good game by Kaukenas and McIntyre (again the guards of Siena were having an orgy in the expense of Diamantidis' poor condition).
OH AND PLEASE, SAVE PANATHINAIKOS, GET RID OF SPANOULIS.
