Draw will take part on Tuesday, January 4th
There is rumors that will be draw formality.And Serbia media reported that if Euroleague respect three basicaly rules.Than Partizan will be in group again with Panathinaikos,Fenerbahce and Unicaja.
The group(with PAO and Partizan) you said Stefans, would be a great group. PAO and Partizan would be the favorites to go the top 8, but it will be very interessed matches to see
i think that fener is a better team than partizan. partizan is not capable of winnig on the road.

Partizan can no longer be called a surprise in any situation, cause they r balanced team now.
The sky is the limit for Partizan. Every year they have a good, balanced team. They can go far and win games on the road. I looking forward to see which groups there will be
GROUP E
Panathinaikos
Caja Laboral
Unicaja
Lietuvos Rytas
GROUP F
Maccabi TA
Olimpija
Barcelona
Roma
GROUP G
Montepaschi Siena
Real Madrid
Efes Pilsen
Partizan
GROUP H
Olympiacos
Fenerbahce
Zalgiris
Valencia
These are four very interessed groups what do you guys think about this?
I think the most itneresting part is the quarter-finals...
E1 vs F2
E2 vs F1
G1 vs H2
G2 vs H1
E and F group quarter finals will be dynamite...
Not an easy group for maccabi, but I think that MTA should make it to the final 8, I'd say 4 wins look reasonable, 3 home wins+1 at Rome should be enough to make it to the next round.. In this group it seems like winning home game would be a very crucial thing. As Black Urum said, E-F quarterfinals should be awesome
All groups seems more or less equal and competitive. Hopefully some surprises will arise and it won't be this way:
Caja, PAO for E
Barsa, Maccabi from F
Siena, Real from G
Olympiacos, Fener from H
Basically I think this year top 16 will be competitive as never and the gap between "small" and "big" clubs is not so huge.
Maccabi's calander:
20.1: Barca-MTA
27.1: MTA-Roma
3.2 : MTA-Ljublijana
17.2: Ljublijana-MTA
24.2: MTA-Barca
3.3 : Roma-MTA
Partizan finally with no Panathinaikos.But I think that fans of Panathinaikos are more than happy. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

As of group were is Partizan.It's hard job to go throw.But wait until six round played.
Too bad for Olimpija that is in group with Maccabi and Barcelona. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />
Group E
Panathinaikos and Caja will go
Group H
Olimpiacos,Fenerbahce and Valencia also in run with Pesic.Very interesting. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Group E: Caja Laboral and PAO
Group F: Maccabi and Barcelona
Group G: Partizan, and either Siena or Real( the games between them will be decisive)
Group H: it's a very interessed group and an upset can be made. I think that Valencia and Fenerbache can suprise Olympiakos if they play smart basketball
I think this is tough spot for Partizan, but for sure it is not as tough as last season's Barca and Pao witch they were able to defeat.
I think that Everyone will fall in Belgrade Arena in front of 22.000 fans, and i count on surprise against Real in the week one. If that doesn't happen, we pray for Turkey...
In the Arena, Partizan can win from every team there is. But they will need to win games on the road if they want to go further. They have a great group of guys and they will do everything to go further
I think Maccabi will have no trouble braking through..
