Playoffs

Who will go to Final Four? It's little surprise that Siena didn't make it,and maybe Zalgiris who played well at the start of the season.Fener again showed poor quality..

My opinion



CSKA Moscow vs. Caja Laboral...CSKA is absolute favorite in this series.Caja with too many lucky end up here but that is all from them.



Olympiacos vs. Anadolu Efes...50%-50%...This is very interesting match,and we will find out did Olympiacos have strength for another F4 or did Efes finally made a team who will go to London.



Barcelona Regal vs. Panathinaikos...Barca this season played awesome so i doubt that will PAO do something.



Real Madrid vs. Maccabi Electra...60%-40% I will give little advantage to Real but i will not easy dismiss Maccabi who in last few games showed quality.

Only PAO take victory in Barcelona! Congrats to PAO fans <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Cool' />

Except Maccabi others as it seems will end up with 3-0. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/agree.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Agree' />

I'm proud of our team and I really think we're one of the very few teams that could take a win in Barcelona. Damn, if it wasn't for the refs in the first one...

Anyway. I hope we win both in Athens a la 2011 and advance to the Fial Four.





Man... if we make it to the Final 4 with a new coach and 14 new players... just respect. This team is a joy to watch! And hey, Stefan, I can see why Lasme is your favorite player! You can't help it but love this guy, what he brings to the team and his humbleness as well!





I went to buy a ticket for the first and hopefully the second game in OAKA the day after the tickets were released... and found NOTHING!!! Jesus!! Sold out (40.000 tickets) in eight hours!!!

It looks like that I'll try to sneak in from hools' gate where they get in without tickets, haha! I can't miss those games!

My predictions are:



CSKA vs Caja Laboral 3-0

Olympiacos vs Anadolu EFES 3-2 (or 3-1)

Barcelona vs Panathinaikos 1-3 ...I really think so. If not, I think will lose 3-2.

Real Madrid vs Maccabi 3-1

In final four i think that the best games will be if CSKA,Olympiakos, Real Madrid and Barcelona will play. They are the best in the Europe and i think that CSKA will won the title. And in final will play Real Madrid vs CSKA

I could never thought that the atmosphere in the 2011 series against Barcelona could be topped, but it did! I was in the game and it was the greatest experience I had in a basketball (or any sport) game. There are 18.500 seats for the fans... and we had a legit 25k. I mean, you couldn't find a spot from where you can watch the game! Of course, even the people who had seats, they were standing on their feet. They only sat down at the half!



Crazy man!

I don't know what playoffs are you watching but Panathinaikos leads the series 2-1 and the next game is held in Athens, so, I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. And you should wait for the series to end in order to decide which is the best team. JMO...

Tonight PAO will book Final Four ticket <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Cool' />



As for Caja they played amazing but i doubt that will do it again <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/agree.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Agree' />



Efes vs. Olympiacos will be decided in 5 matches <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />

Great atmosphere in OAKA <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

Just don't understand why is all OAKA in fence? <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Bag' />



PAO and Partizan fans are the best in the world <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Cool' />

It's in fence just in case...



Tonight it was an all-time record for both Euroleague and Panathinaikos. Unofficially of course but I'm positive. Like, 100%. The seats for the fans are 18.500... and we were like 30.000. Lol! I couldn't even see the court, literally. There were fans on scaffoldings in OAKA, they were behind the huge boards that show the score etc etc... wherever you can imagine...



So, it was a pretty tough loss. Anyway, let's hope we can take them down in Spain!

Diamantidis was horrible.

Wow, refs did everything in their power to give game 4 to Efes.



That last ball possession batted out of Printezis's hands by an Efes player, and the ball going to Efes was just criminal <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Rolleyes' />



Too bad that a team like Efes with good players has to rely on cheap tactics to win a basketball game.

LOL... please.



To be honest, I didn't realise how the refs were against Olympiacos, but they weren't against EFES either. Stop talking nonsense. Refs were pretty fair if you ask me.

Oly choked.. No excuses.. if you can't guard an American scrub like Lucas you shouldn't be playing, not to mention his height.. They will prevail at home. The Turks don't have the fortitude for this game.. Besides a final 4 without a Greek team is like bread without butter!!



Pana is in a world of hurt.. I don't see them going to London unfortunately. They should've wrapped up the 4th game in Athens.. but they blew it.. they have a miniscule chance of beating the Spaniards, unless a miracle is in the making.. then again I could be wrong.. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Unsure' />

Why is London hosting the Final Four? The NBA has had some success there and the NBA should keep coming but is London really going to give a crap about Greek/Russian/Spanish/Turkish/Israeli teams?



When was the last time that a non-basketball city hosted the Final Four? I think every city that has hosted a Final Four has had a link to basketball since Prague in 2006 although you could argue Paris in 2010 but the LNB is a alright league.

And the even more lame part is that London will host the Final 4 next season as well... <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Bag' />

As far as I'm concerned it's all about marketing of product, period! I want the NBA to disappear back to wherever the hell it came from, and certainly DO NOT want American NBA D-League and NCAA scrubs coming over to Europe. I don't give a rats ass how good the NBA is. It's a different style of basketball, that is not suited to the style of game we play. And it's boring boring boring!! I haven't watched NBA for years and the reasons are so obvious a child would understand. The Black mafia and their puppet 'Stern' can stay on it's own shores. They are not WANTED or WELCOMED on our continent.



The Euroleague should protect it's own interests and stop brown-nosing the NBA. That would be more than pathetic and irresponsible. Financial interests, product promotion, world wide telecasts, and expansionism should be the EL's prime objective! We need to get to England and show them that our game is far superior in many respects to theirs. The f4 in England is an absolute promotion for the EL. Remember the NBA is NOT our friend, and that equates to mocking our style of BB, it's players, and many of our nations that play it!! Theo you haven't thought it out right homeboy. Try again my friend..

The NBA is not wanted or welcomed? They've sold out the O2 arena six times. Looks like your opinion isn't justified by any evidence, try again homeboy.

The English aren't the sharpest nation when it comes to BB, but when they fully understand the concept of BB they will realize that EL is far more suitable and tenfold more exciting than NBA. The only reason they sold out is good promotion from the Yanks, and not to mention TV coverage of your league. Don't rush your thoughts homie, let's see when both styles are on equal footing who ends up prevailing. In fact the English should thank their lucky stars that f4 is running for two consecutive years at O2. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Biggrin' />
