Yesterday Fenerbahçe played against Monaco away. We couldn't prevent Monaco from winning unfortunately.    Mike James showed one of his best performances against us. Nigel Hayes didn't have a good game just like he hasn't been for a while as well. McCollum played really extra but it wasn't also enough for the win. Maybe we could have won by a better defense though. I'm not surprised with the result anyway because I was waiting for this match to be tough for us. We are still having a great regular season.

Damn, what happened in Belgrade. I can't remember Partizan getting humiliated at home in such way. -32 points against your direct competitors, damn. One of best games for Efes this season.

Loss, but in general, nothing terrible didn't happened for Fenerbahche. They played decent game and only small details decided winner. Yes, probably you won't win regular season, but maybe it's not bad thing. We know that regualr season winners usually don't end well in playoffs or Final 4
I'm more surprised about Crvena Zvezda away win against Olympiacos, didn't saw this coming.

Fenerbahçe lost 7 points to Paris Basket in the first quarter and could not close the gap in the second period.
Nadir had a three-point performance in the match in Paris. He was the player who scored the most points on the court until the end of the first half.
I hope we do not lose this match to Paris Basket.
Whatever happened this year, we are losing in Istanbul.
The second half will be better and we will win the match.

We won the game with a last-second three-pointer. Fenerbahçe played very well in the last quarter, but it made me angry that they made the game so difficult.

Monaco survives against Zalgiris in overtime and this outcome means that Zalgiris is 99% eliminated from play-in race.
We have one surprise tonight - Olympiacos lost to Asvel. This result means that fight for name of regular season winner continues

Don't be angry, Paris is a good team, not worth to expect that you will win easy. Ok, maybe they let Paris a bit too far, but anyway, game had happy ending and amazing Hayes Davies game winner

While six players from the Paris Basket Team reached double digits, only four players from Fenerbahçe reached double digits. Paris is not a bad team. Fenerbahçe may think it is an easy match since they are playing on their home court, but we should not forget that Paris is also a competitive team. Hayes' last-second basket was the kiss of life for Fenerbahçe.

Asvel didnt need the win much,also this loss wont hurt Olympiacos aswell so this match didnt matter much. Paris needed the win badly but lost in the end and this might make them problems. Partizan also won against Alba and this gives them a chance for a little longer then usual for the play in

Theiss had another solid outing with 15 and 9 but I wonder about one thing. Why is he basically only playing in the Euroleague and resting almost every ProA game. He only played 1 league and 1 cup game in France so far, but played 5 Euroleague games with very strong numbers (if you don't take the first game into consideration). Guess they want to keep him ready for the important games and take the domestic league not so serious.

Fenerbahçe Beko added to its series of unforgettable games against Paris Basketball. Fenerbahçe Beko won the game with a tremendous 4th quarter. The biggest disadvantage for Fenerbahçe Beko was giving too many rebounds to the opponent. Nigel Hayes-Davis won the game with a last second basket, but I think he's had a big drop in form lately. He's been playing too much individually because of his ego. He's taking a lot of difficult shots, but the game came down to Nigel Hayes-Davis. He wasn't on the court until the last period. On the other hand, Guduric and McCollum did a great job on the offensive end. When McCollum came to the team, I never thought he would contribute like this.

They had to give so many rebounds due to the high percantage of shooting from Paris and its normal to see so many rebounds. Paris lost a huge match for them and this loss will cost them a lot. They just had to do much better in that last defence. Fenerbahce continues to win and looks like a team that will be easily in the final four.

[CLS63]

Coming back from a 13-point gap against Paris Basketball was really amazing. I can't tell how I delighted I was with the last second 3-pointer by Hayes. This was the game he pulled himself together as well by making a serious score contribution for us.

Guduric - McCollum - Tarik all showed great performances too. This wasn't one of our best games in the regular season surely. But the thing makes me satisfied is that we can still win even while our defense is in its worst shape. It is a big step for court advantage in playoffs.

Bayern Munich, who entered the last 3 minutes of the match trailing 99-91 last night, managed to defeat Barcelona 101-102 and won their 18th victory. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, had 17 wins.

Carsen Edwards was once again one of the top scorers for Bayern. I think Fenerbahçe sent Carsen off the team too early.
I don't know if Bayern will see the Final Four this year, but if they invest well in the team, they will be a feared team in the Euroleague in the coming years.

Bayern Munich won against a direct rival for those top 6 positions and now are in a good position but still they didnt secure those top 6 places they can still drop into the play in where its much harder to get to the playoffs. But Bayern is looking better and better and Edwards is carrying this team the entire season. We will see tommorow they play Partizan and Partizan also needs a win here badly if they want to reach the playin

That's true, Bayern really needed that win after some losses in the past weeks. Now they are in a good position to get into the playoffs without needing to go through the play in route. With 3 games to play it's important to mention that Bayern owns the tie breaker against Barcelona so even if they end up with the same W/L ration they will be ahead of them. The race is so tight, 5th to 10th place are only separated by 1 win/loss, also the 2 teams outside the playoff/in zone also are only 1 win behind. Shows how well balanced most of the teams are this season. That's much more interesting compared to recent seasons I think.

Bayern Munich play again today and its against my team Partizan. I think it will be a close match and if Partizan dosent win this they will probobly lose all of the chances at the playoffs and that playin position. Bayern here can secure the top 6 for sure if they win.

[LTU_btc]

Efes now is hottest team in Euroleague. 5 wins in a row, they're destroying everything in their road and reached already 7th place.
Crvena Zvezda is also looking so strong in few recent games. Fight for playoff and play-in is so tight.
Crazy how Maccabi choked yesterday against Panathinaikos. They had 15 points lead in the beginning of 4th quarter. But as long as they're playing home games in neutral location, such things doesn't surprise me much.

[ajanwalker]

Bayern Munich showed us today that the Barcelona victory was not a fluke. They also defeated Partizan 89-74 in their own arena.

They rose to fifth place with this victory.
Without a doubt, Carsen Edwards was the biggest contributor to Bayern this year.
I still can't understand how Fenerbahçe lost this young player.
As a Fenerbahçe fan, it is pleasing for Carsen that this player is successful at Bayern, but it is sad for fans like me.
If Bayern builds a good team next year, Carsen will stay at Bayern, otherwise he may go to big teams like Real or Barcelona.

Bayern Munich was losing the entire game and was just able to dominate in the last quarter and win the match. Carsen Edwards was on fire plus some players also hitted some crazy threes that won them the game. Im just so sad that my team lost and we could have won. Now we need to win last two matches to get that 10th place and i think its just mission impossible for Partizan.

[ajanwalker]

Fenerbahçe managed to beat Baskonia with a score of 82-77, albeit with difficulty. They took the lead in the scoreboard.

Especially in the last quarter, Fenerbahçe attacked very badly and could only score 10 points.
McCollum could not score in the 11 minutes he played. This was a bad statistic for McCollum. Fenerbahçe is better than Olympiakos in the two-way average, so if they win their remaining two games, they will finish the regular season as leaders. I don't know if we can beat Bayern Munich away in the last game. Because Bayern has been in very good form lately.

[CLS63]

Anadolu Efes are really on fire! They managed to defeat Maccabi Tel Aviv home as well and now it is a 6-match winning streak for them.  This carried them to the 6th place but they aren't that comfortable yet. Because there are multiple other teams with the same number of wins. They can still find themselves in play-in showdown instead of a direct playoffs qualification. But I hope they also get to playoffs directly just as Fenerbahçe are about to.

By the way Fenerbahçe have also captured the lead in the standings. Such a great regular season performance. I really didn't expect this much from us.

What a crazy game between Panathinaikos and Paris. Paris had big lead most part of game, but in 4th quarter PAO made huge comeabck and it looked that they can't be stopped. But Paris survived. Panathinaikos had last poession, but it didn't went as they planned - Hernangomez isn't someone who would you prefer to make buzzer beater. This result isn't good for Partizan - now they need a miracle to reach play-in, with 2 rounds remaining they're 2 wins away from it.
Few words about Eurocup semifinal - it already looked that we will have big upset, but Gran Canaria somehow survived. Such terrible a defense by Massinburg in last attack:

So, we will have Game 3 in both pairs

Not exactly at home, as it this game with Maccabi had to be played in Riga. But anyway, great win and as I already said after their first win this week - Efes is hottest team in Euroleague right now.
