I moved your topic to the right section Pana.
I won't vote just yet but looking at this season the way teams play, the biggest favourites are CSKA and Panathinaikos. Both teams have very good squads and their defence is very tight too. Certainly not my favourite style of basketball but it works well.
Maccabi is not as good as they used to be. In my opinion Barca, CSKA, Panathinaikos, Olympiakos are all ahead of them.
If it was pre-season poll I would have named Zalgiris among contenders to qualify for Final Four but now it is hard to imagine them going to TOP 16 <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />
