I think series predictions make more sense than guessing for every game, but that's just my opinion

Tau with the away win over Barca! And Siena couldn't beat Pao, despite huge games from Sato and McIntyre. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Pekovic with 21 points in 18 minutes on 8/10 from the field for Pao...impressive. Speaking of Pekovic, his old team scored 3 points in the first quarter <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> What an ugly game between CSKA and Partizan. Only two players with double figures, one from each team. Papaloukas with 13 points and 13 assists and Vujcic with 19 points (he has really rejuvenated his career) in Olympiacos' win.

Siena's game is a joke. Live and die by the threepointers. Usually they live in the first phase and Top16 where the competition is mediocre at best.



But when the games get tough, they shit all over themselves, like last season Final Four vs Maccabi.



Lavrinovic didn't even warm up last night, there is no way he will play tomorrow against Pekovic and Batiste who are muscle beasts. Stonerook looked like a baby in front of them two.



Sato and McIntyre had their best games ever because the man who would normall guard them was out, Diamantidis.



Yiannakis had one of his sleep-overs last night, but this time it wasn't at friend's home but at Olympiakos' bench when Real Madrid was 27-1 <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/agree.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> at some point <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Good thing that there is Papaloukas to save his ass <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



As for Barca and TAU, i knew TAU would break their home advantage and I can not decide which of the two teams is the biggest choker. I know one thing though, whoever of the two goes to the Final Four will finish last.
