Maccabi were the best team in the regular season, so they got the #1 seed in the playoffs and faced the #8 seed, which is supposed to be the weakest team in the playoffs (wasn't this year). It's not like what they did the entire year was for nothing; they got the #1 seed in the 1/4 finals and then faced the #4 seed in the Final Four, which is the weakest team in the Final Four.
Look at the NBA: it doesn't matter how good the best team's record is, it doesn't matter whether they lost 1 game or 20, if they have the best record they get two things: 1. They face the weakest team in the playoffs (like Maccabi) 2. They get home court advantage (which Maccabi has anyway!!!).
How is it that nobody in Europe or in the NCAA complains about the Final Four? Just Maccabi! Barcelona had a near perfect season and they could have lost to Olympiacos or Partizan in the one game in the Finals...I didn't see them complaining about the system.

In both euroleague and NCAA the system wasn't made especially to hurt one team and take championships from it. That's the difference, and maccabi doesn't have the home court ad. In the FF, other teams got (or can get) as much fans as maccabi.
Don't act like you don't know that, the whole FF shit was made ( and he said that loud and clear) to take the championship away from Maccabi, now if it was made as part of an idea to serve the whole league I could get it, but it is well known playoffs could make more money for teams from tickets and tv rights, they do this shit, even though it's against the sense of every sane person, and why? To take the championship from maccabi, that's not very fair.
