What is the biggest suprise/disappointment in the Euroleague so far? Both good and bad or in between. What stands out to you? :-D

Good:



Olimpija by far. Bamberg has also made their presence felt. Fenerbahce is finally shaping into a top level team.



Bad:



Definitely CSKA. 0-3 could be their worst start ever. Barcelona has been underperforming as well. I expected Lietuvos Rytas so bad this season, so no surprise.

Olimpija's 3-0



and



CSKA's 0-3 <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Olimpjia and CSKA are biggest surprises, I agree.



The bad thing is Lithuanian clubs so far (expectations were high before the season). One would say Žalgiris won two games of three, but these two thin wins at home against Partizan and Prokom might be useless, specially having in mind their strong group. Both Rytas and Žalgiris is not performing well. Actually, Rytas is improving with new coach and and some of their players will get in shape finally (as Jomantas, Babrauskas), while Žalgiris seems to be locked in very stupid shape of the Serbian guy.

I think that it's pretty obvious, the good one is Olimpija the bad is definatly CSKA. those two teams are gonna meet today, that's gonna be a great game (btw links for streams are welcomed <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />)

They have great arena with almost every game with 12.000 fans. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Partizan have fans.but Pionir. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Too much fans for small hall. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

10.000 Arena would be perfect for Partizan, but I am ok wit this too <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
