25/26 European basketball discussion: Euroleague/BBL/ACB/LegaA/LNB/TBL..

Paris Basket pushed Fenerbahçe again and I think the round is still in the middle. Paris played very well in the first period. Fenerbahçe played better in the second period and ended the half ahead. Paris took control again in the third period and scored more points in the period but could not close the gap that opened in the second period. Fenerbahçe was the slightly better side in the last quarter and managed to win the match 83-78 but I think they will still have very critical matches. Paris Basket is a very good team and with good reinforcements they will be a team playing for the championship next year.

It could have been Turkish night in the Euroleague, but Anadolu Efes lost the match 87-83 after leading from start to finish after falling behind by 11 points in the last quarter.

Panathinaikos played very well in the last quarter and won the match.

Fenerbahçe had a hard time against Paris Basket but still managed to win. 83-78

Anadolus leading from start to finish?? Guess you and I watched a different game bro. Pana won the first quarter and was leading by up to 10 points in the 2nd before Efes went on a crazy 17:0 run . Sure after that they were up for the next around 20 minutes but still finished the last 12 minutes 11:27.



Start to finish wouldn't look like that I would say.
You have to give props to Pana for not giving up and flipping the game in their favor. Didn't expect such a tough fight for them but in the end they prevailed.

Not a day of Spanish clubs. Both Barca and Real didn't had much to offer against Monaco and Olympiacos. But we saw how Satoransky lost his mind and got deserved ejection:

Anyway, point difference doesn't matter. It's just 1:0 and on Friday it will be new story. But now they don't have right to lose. Making comeback from.being down 0:2 looks like too big task.

Leading from start to finish and then losing the game - it doesn't eve makes sense. Signature spammers at it's finest.

Yesterday was intresting really but today wasnt at all. All home teams won in this four matches and looks like home advantages means a lot. Satoransky was crazy for that move he deserves a suspension for that. He just lost his mind and it wasnt needed at all. I think both Barcelona and Real Madrid willbe eliminated,they just dont look good

Brother, I didn't watch the first quarter of the match. At that time, there was a Konyaspor-Galatasaray Turkish Cup match, I was watching that match.

When I opened the Efes match, it was towards the end of the first half. Efes was playing very well, they were the superior side. I didn't look at the first quarter data on any site. I think they started the match well.

I follow the Euroleague.
Also, my signature is not continuing right now. I'm just writing my thoughts.
My aim is not to spam these places.
As for yesterday's matches, it seems like the Spanish will bid farewell to the Euroleague early this year.
I had the chance to watch the Real Madrid match from time to time. They couldn't show any resistance. Olympiakos can sweep Real Madrid.

[CLS63]

This is like the summary of the Olympiacos-Real Madrid match. Real Madrid played really terrible. I don't even remember a moment they were able to drop the gap below double digits. I had a fun bet placed on their win but couldn't even get excited about it.

Anyway currently Fenerbahçe are hosting Paris Basketball. Once again it could be a close game maybe. But I believe we can make it 2-0 in the series. It is so important to go to Paris with a good advantage. Hopefully Anadolu Efes also manage to make it 1-1 today.

[ajanwalker]

I can say that I followed the match more comfortably this time, but Fenerbahçe's disease of scoring few points in the last quarter continued.
We were able to score 13 points in the last quarter, but this time our defense was also very good and we kept Paris Basket to 15 points.
The series is now 2-0 and I hope we will complete the match to be played in Paris with a victory and get the ticket to the Final Four with 3-0.
Although the team scored few points in the second half, we achieved a very good score in the first half.
I can say that we have slowly started to reap the fruits of being patient with Tarık Biberovic for years. Tarık played very good basketball today.

Fenerbahche left no chance for Paris. Dominant first half - 29 points in 1st quarter and 32 in 2nd, 23 points lead at halftime and basically all questions were answered. Paris looked very soft today. Fener is 1 away from Final 4.
Panathinaikos - Efes was closer game, but most of Pao were able to keep about 10 point lead and control the game, but in last minutes Efes took initiative over and it was Larkin showtime. Only that 3-pointer was worth so much. So, now we got 1:1 and series goes to Istanbul

Low scoring wasn't big issue as you got big lead from first half and as you said, your defence remained to be very solid.

Efes showed everyone that they are not easy targets.
Larkin did great things.
Panathinaikos started well but Efes had the final say.
Larkin was Efes' and the match's top scorer. The series is now 1-1 and Efes has the home advantage.
There will be two matches in Istanbul and the team that will go to the final four can be determined in Istanbul.
I hope Efes makes it to the finals.
Fenerbahçe also made the series 2-0.

This is a first break made by any teams so far in the playoff series. Honestly Efes is looking really good and if they continue like this they might go to the final 4. Last time they were winning the entire match and lost and now they were losing and won in the end. Larkin was the clutch player today with that made three in the end

It’s actually crazy how in basketball games can go one way in game 1 and gets totally flipped in game 2. Like this time it’s totally reversed. I always wonder how these things are possible, but since it happens so often it’s kinda normal I guess.
Glad to see that Efes put up a great fight avoiding to go down 0:2. They learned from the mistakes they made in game one and not it was Pana’s turn to getting the game flipped over their head in the final quarter. Basketball at its best!!

[ajanwalker]

Luca Banchi's arrival at Anadolu Efes changed the face of the team.
Efes is already in a very good position in terms of squad quality. Especially when Shane is a perfect basketball player, 50% of the team is Shane. If Vasilije Micic had not gone to Efes for the NBA, Efes would have won the Euroleague last year as well.
Panathinaikos is not as effective away from home as it is at home. Efes can finish the job in Istanbul.
So far, the other teams except Pana have maintained their home advantage.
I wonder what Real and Barça will do away from home today?

Efes won, yes I was happy too but there was a clear foul in this last ball. The referees should have looked at this position and given a foul but they didn't. Efes won but it wasn't a victory I was happy with.

These things happen all the time. Yes, it was a foul but the reason for the defeat was Pao scoring only 76 points and Efes keeping Nunn scoring quite low for his standarts. No need to withdraw from the league and threatening to go to NBA europe league or something. Pao should focus on their weak sides. I am expecting a very strong Pao next week. They might get a win in Istanbul at least. Nunn will be very different from these 2 home games. But Efes has potential to stop them still. Their roster is deep and still have big names. If Lessort wasn't injured, I think Pao would be champions again though.

This i seen when the game was played and im shocked that refs didnt do anything about this,this would have tied the game if he had the 3 free throws and hitted them. But still Efes deserved the win in the end and got a big one in the end. Lets see how the game 3 will be played

I also think the same about it after watching the replay. But think about this as well. There was an unfair situation for Anadolu Efes in Game 1 too. Their 2 points weren't given because of a wrong decision. So I just see it like justice was served.

It was a really great comeback by them. As the series is 1-1 now Anadolu Efes might seem to have a good advantage to finish it home. But I don't expect that as Panathinaikos are still very powerful. It feels like they will eliminate Anadolu Efes by 3-2.

Series between 4th and 5th placed teams supposed to be most interesting, but we have complete Monaco dominance. Barca have no chance there. Monaco took a lead in the middle of 1st quarter and didn't looked back. And that powerful run in 3rd quarter decided game. In general, this series is mirror of Barca whole this season. 5th place in regular season don't reflect their season - it's one big disappointment.
Meanwhile watching Olympiacos - Real was such pleasure. Oly get very important win in close game. Real had chances to chase Olympiacos in last minutes, but Campazzo mistakes in clutch moments didn't let them to do it. Oly is 1 win away from Final 4, but I have feeling that this series isn't over.

Yeah, probably there was a foul. Hate when ref mistakes plays crucial role in such games. Then someone will be angry about it, we also get various conspiracy theories and etc

Monaco is just a class better then Barcelona and it is seen on the field. I think Barcelona will get swept here. Real Madrid had a good chance to make a break but werent able to play good until the very end. Refs are really bad in this playoffs in all matches it is just crazy

The 2016 final we played with CSK came to my mind.
In that match, we came from 17 points behind and would have won the match. Ekpe Udoh was fouled but the referees did not call it and CSK sent the match to overtime.
We came from 17 points behind and took the lead but the referees did not call the foul.
CSK won the match in overtime. Fenerbahçe lost the Euroleague Cup due to the referee's mistake.
When I saw this position, that came to my mind. There is a compensation for this match, maybe Panathinaikos will win in Istanbul and take the lead but if it had happened in the final, this position would have been talked about a lot.

[CLS63]

Monaco and Barcelona finished regular season close to each other. However we clearly see in playoffs that Monaco are in much better condition. They won both games comfortably so far. It wouldn't be surprising to see the series ending 3-0 to be honest.

Real Madrid looked a little better this time. But still they were losing balls so many times. They were impressive in the 1st quarter but Olympiacos led all the remaining quarters. I can say I have pretty much lost my faith in Real Madrid to get past them.
