We made it! It was a really tough match for us though. We could have finished this without OT actually. Wilbekin used that chance really poorly. But in the last moments of OT, Calathes took a big responsibility and single-handedly brought the win to us.    First a 3-pointer and later a critical steal by him. Now we are going to Final Four and our next opponent is Panathinaikos. There is a familiar name there who is their coach Ergin Ataman. 



By the way there is an interesting statistics. Fenerbahçe have become the first team to win away in Game 5 and reach Final Four by this way in the current system.

Congrats, mate! What a game. Similar like in yesterday's game I think that both teams is worth to play in Final 4, but someone have to lose and winner was decided in small details.
As said few posts above, I had a feeling that Fenerbahche can become first team to win Game 5 away. And damn, Calathes, such clutch play, especially missing many 3-pointers before. Now I just feel sad for Mike James. One of best Euroleague players is still without trophy and at his age, nobody knows how many chances he will have.
Barca - Olympiacos, another game of equal teams. Another very low scoring, defensive game, but damn, how Barca collapsed in the end of 4th quarter...

Thank you.    We have really capable players in our roster which always makes me hopeful to come back. I must admit that Šarūnas Jasikevičius was also doing his best today. He was always shouting at the players about what they should do to keep our hopes alive. When it comes to Mike James I agree with you. He is really a quality player at the Euroleague level. Tonight he was the best of his team with 20 points.

To be honest I wasn't expecting Barcelona to lose in front of their supporters. Their not reaching Final Four is a surprise to me.

Congrats!
Olympiakos' match was also very tough. They had to make a turnaround against their opponent but eventually managed to successfully pull it off. It's interesting now that two Greek teams could eventually end up playing against each other in the EuroLeague final. I can't wait for the semifinals. I'll watch both of them if I can as a Greek. Very exciting time to be watching basketball as someone from my country this year. It's been a very long time since we had this level of success.

The following matches will certainly be very exciting!
