Euroleague 2022/23 Season

~snip
Zalgiris looks very vulnerable now without their main guard.

Partizan was up 17 points at halftime, but Zalgiris is playing better in third quarter
nevertheless, still 11 points advantage for Partizan at the moment, very important match for next round fight, since 12 wins is securing 8th place at the moment

Partizan is on 60% 3 points attempts scored, and that is making difference at the moment

Partizan destroyed Zalgiris and now is 7th on the table what an achivement by my team. Won a 4.00 odd on partizan to win and over in points. Easy money today and i think this is just a start from our team. What a streak by Partizan.

Solid game of Partizan in front of 15k Zalgiris fans. When make 60% successful 3-pt attempts, you simply can't lose. As I said earlier, it may be one of key games in fight for Top 8. But everything is so close that few wins or losses can change situation dramatically. I hope that Euroleagye is considering to introduce play-in like in NBA because now tournament is so competetive that 8 places isn't enough.
In other game Olympiacos achieved important win against Efes and now leading together with Real. While current champions Efes now is just 11th.

Good round for Serbian teams. Crvena Zvezda won against Maccabi, though, they almost choked in the end, after wasting solid lead. Wade Baldwin, who had career night with 38 points almost made buzzer beater from the middle of court which would lead to overtime that was close.
Partizan won against Bayern confident, Virtus had no chance against Barcelona.
Interesting game between Zalgiris and Baskonia. Bookies have no favorite there, giving 1.90 for both team wins.
Efes - Real and Fenerbahche - Olimpia games postponed after terrible disaster in Turkey.

Today we have three matches with fourth was postponed due to tragic earthquake in Turkey but still a good entertaining day for the Euro league fans as Croatian teams were dominating and having good wins in first match Crvena zvezda beats Maccabi Tel Aviv by score of 89-86 with this win Crvena Zvezda ends their four matches losing streak against in this league and now having 13th place.

In second match Partizan having extended their winning streak and beats Bayern which is now on their 3 matches losing streak with this win now Partizan is at seventh spot after this one we have last game of the day which was play between Barcelona vs Monaco this was interesting game as having very close fight for the result and Barcelona able to win by 91 - 95.

for Partizan, this is fourth win in a row, and ninth in last eleven rounds - from 4/9 to 13/11 and position 6 at the moment
from impossible through possible to realistic fight for Top8 place, in last ten rounds Partizan and Olympiacos are only teams with 8 wins

watching Zalgiris and Baskonia tonight, Valencia is facing Panatinaikos in a 6-8 place fight for Top8
Baskonia is in bad form and bad on away matches, Zalgiris is in bad strike, but @1.9 could be a good pick

For the rest of the season, the performance of Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahçe players will decrease a lot. Due to the terrible disaster in Turkey, everyone's psychological state is in a terrible. It takes months to heal. It is not clear when these basketball players can play again. Work is still going on in the country, cities have been destroyed.
I really wanted to see them do well in the Euroleague

Is there an official statement about the exact dates of Turkish teams and leagues to continue again? As far as I know there are not definite dates, and since the parts of the country near Istanbul is not affected. It is a terrible thing to happen for the whole country but at least the european games should continue after some appropriate time. There is no point of wasting the already invested money into these teams. Personally, I expect things to get normal as much as it's possible in couple of weeks. Especially Fenerbahce was getting a lot of attention after the coach and greek players came to Fenerbahce. Even Giannis recently talked about Fenerbahce and said he follows Fenerbahce after his brother transferred to the team. And Giannis's coach from the national team was already there. I wish things will be better for the whole country and turkish euroleague teams as soon as possible.

after solid start, and bad finishing in second quarter, Partizan raised their game, and pushed Alba down in third quarter
it is now +13 in third quarter and this should be another win on our account, against bottom team, which held us in Top8 fight

Zvezda lost, Zalgiris as well, but Maccabi is holding good in Monaco, which is important match for Top8 placement

Partizan destroyed Alba Berlin in third quarter and now its 22 points advantage and i think its impossible for Alba to make a comeback in the Belgrade Arena today. Crvena Zvezda also lost again in the very end and they had 9 point lead with five minutes until end and i think their hopes for top8 are over.

It was Euroleague game for Campazzo this season, he scored 16 points, but I wouldn't say that he had good game. I wouldn't say that Top 8 hopes is over for Zvezda, but now their chances is very complicated. Easy win for Partizan against Alba, but it's not competitor for Top 8, it's win that you just have to take and move. Next week they will have double round against both Italian teams away, it won't be easy.
Tomorrow there is two direct clashes for Top 8 spots - Fenerbahche - Virtus and Baskonia - Valencia.

Zvezda is on 15 loses so far, I think that you need to have less than 16 to pass through, so they need 7-1 IMO for Top8, close to impossible
Partizan took important win that need to be won, and it is still on 12 loses, so 4-4 till the end could be enough to pass through

it is important that Maccabi lost last night in the end, so when Valencia and Baskonia finish, it will be first time that Partizan has one less loss from 9th placed team

overall Efes will probably qualify, so for two position there are six teams - Partizan, Baskonia, Valencia, Maccabi, Zalgiris and Bologna.
we basically need one win next week in Italy, either Bologna or Olimpia to stay in touch

[casperBGD]

bring this topic back on first page, after Partizan won last night in Bologna
we brought our best and won over direct competitor for Top8 placement

Zalgiris also won over Alba to stay in the loop, Baskonia took win over Real, so all teams are bringing their best moves to join next phase

Efes is playing tonight against Zvezda, interesting odds @1.8 on away win

[LTU_btc]

Tonight we have very interesting game between Baskonia and Monaco in fight for Top 8. It's very important game for Baskonia, while Monaco situation on the table is a bit more comfortable. Monaco will play without Mike James, so, I think it's worth to put some money on Baskonia win.
Zalgiris won both their games this week, what keeps them in fight. Partizan won against Virtus, but lost against Milan, they're 6-8th now and things is very close there. Milan won 6th game in row already, but it's way too late for them to make comeback and jump into playoffs train.

didn't saw it coming, but Partizan won over Efes, and it is now on 16-13, at position 6, one win over position 8 and 9, solid for top8
Efes is on 15 loses and pretty much have hard task to get back into top8 position

Olympiakos made us a favor winning over Zalgiris, while Maccabi won over Baskonia in a direct top8 position fight

Efes improved their chances after win against Real, but now their situation is very complicated. What kind of level Euroleague we have if reigning back-to-back champions will not get into playoffs. While Olympiacos becomes firsty team which already have guaranted spot in playoffs. I looked at upcoming Zalgiris schedule, it's not easy, but when I looked at upcoming Partizan opponents - Oly, Barca, Real, Monaco and only PAO can be cosnidered as easy. Maccabi or Bakonia have mych better remaining schedule.

Huge win for us!! Partizan pulled through and turned the match around after a terrible first quarter. We beat the current champions both times and with this win we o most secured the top 8 now. Efes is in a really bad spot after this and i think they wont reach the final 8.

Partizan has a really tough schedule in next four matches, and we need at least one win to keep us in the loop, for an last win over PAO to get us into top8
our biggest domestic rival, Zvezda did us a favor winning over Baskonia, and they are now on 15 loses, two more comparing to Partizan

tomorrow match against Olympiakos is a really important one, hopefully they will take it easy, since already qualified
Efes is playing with Alba tonight, and it is really intense atm

[LTU_btc]

By beating Baskonia Crvena Zvezda really made big favour for main rival Partizan and other teams in fight for Top 8. Though, I would be a bit sad if Baskonia won't get into playoffs.
About Partizan - Oly, I think it's 50/50 game, but yeah, it's possible may be a bit relaxed with spot in playoffs
Tomorrow there is game between Fenerbahche and Zalgiris. It's must win game for Zalgiris, but bookmakers are sceptical about their chances
Alba - Efes is very close game. Sikma put back dunk eliminates back-to-back champions from playoff race. Really strange last Efes attack, with so little time remaining only option should be catch and shoot.

not sure about Olympiakos, but Partizan was on top form in first half, and it was almost decided at half time, second half was close, but we finished it in proper manner
maybe theye were not pushing due to already qualifiying, but important win for us

now two wins above top8 border
