GROUP E
Fenerbahçe vs Aris
TAU vs Lietuvos Rytas
GROUP F
Ã
½algiris vs Real Madrid
Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Olympiacos

Wishing for another lose of CSKA and PAO....
Partizan - Siena,
Panathinaikos - Efes Pilsen
Fenerbahçe - Aris
Tau - Lietuvos Rytas
Zalgiris - Real Madrid, %50-%50 i think and i have doubts about refs(remember first game)
Maccabi - Olympiakos
Lottomatica - Cska
Unicaja - Barcelona
GROUP D
Partizan vs Siena
Panathinaikos vs Efes Pilsen
GROUP E
Fenerbahçe vs Aris
TAU vs Lietuvos Rytas
GROUP F
Ã
½algiris vs Real Madrid
Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Olympiacos
GROUP G
Unicaja vs Barcelona
Roma vs CSKA Moscow
Partizan 78-75 Montepaschi
Fenerbahce 59-60 Aris
*Tau Ceramica 87-84 Lietuvos Rytas
Unicaja 62-61 Barcelona
Suprises continue. TAU is the only team which booked a place in quarter finals already. Rytas were unfortunate to lose but Aris saved their chances of going through. We can only guess what would have happened if Petravi?ius and Nielsen were able to play.
We'll see what Ã
½algiris can do tonight against Real. They must win if they don't want to get in a difficult situation.
yesterday i watch great game PARTIZAN-SIENA,so strong was partizan belgrad,and again Lithuanian team lose on last minutes.
Rytas were unlycky again
when we have rimas grigas like head coach we can forgot about quarterfinals
I was at PAO-Efes and i must admit Efes put a better fight than I expected.
Fortunately PAO no longer needed to cover the -10 margin with which they lost in Turkey... the important thing now is to beat Siena in OAKA next week and the next important thing is to beat them with +9 or more if possible to go for the top spot in order to avoid TAU with a home disadvantage...
Great win by Olympiakos who is showing the first signs of the Yiannakis influence on the team. Gershon could never make such a great win away, especially in the Yad. This win turned the group upside down and also kept Zalgiris alive in the 2nd spot chasing... for now...
CSKA is finally reminding the real CSKA after strengthening the squad with Van den Spiegel, Khryapa and the come back of Smodis...
Ã
½algiris 69-83
Real Madrid
Lottomatica 54-82
CSKA Moscow
Maccabi 82-87
Olympiacos
Panathinaikos 74-65 Efes Pilsen

Indeed. I said that so many times so I won't comment this time. Thanks to Oly who saved Ã
½algiris' chances at least in theory. I wonder what would have been the season like if they had a good coach.
I hoped for A pao lose.. and My dear Maccabi did bad.. what a crazy top 16
next week Maccabi is going to win in Madrid..
Great and important (psychological) win for Oly. They were back from the tomb away and in Maccabi's arena. Remarkable. Congrats, I really didn't expect that.
