Re: euroleague qtr finals
great qtr final games! apart from the very predictable blow out in Moscow, the other three games were great to watch.Partizan simply amazing! I really want them to make final four, they deserve it. Barca were poor against a really not so good real madrid. Navarro was terrible, his free throws saved him. Mikael was tremendous and saved the day with Ndong.Olympiacos i thought would win by more, maybe we have to give Asseco prokom credit. Bring on Thursday.

I think CSKA is still probably the favorite. They just know how to win.
Re: euroleague qtr finals
agree with lakas. cska are the favourites,barca have to play a lot better if they want to win any games in Madrid, Navarro is doing his usual disappearing act in the key games. I hope Partizan make it to Paris. To do so they have to win both games in Belgrade as i dont think they would win a game 5 in Tel Aviv.
Re: euroleague qtr finals
Partizan won game 3, 81-73 in front of 22000+ fans. It was epic... Every player gave 200%.

No doubt this is the greatest thing ever what Partizan is doing. Vujosevic = coach of year, Maric = MVP, Vesely = rising star, maybe even defensive player of year = Vranes
Maric and McAleb should be all Euroleague. Unreal season for Partizan.

Take a look at current voting results

Maric has most votes, and 4 of Partizans players are in All Euroleague team...
Re: euroleague qtr finals
I already have tickets for final four and I am hoping Partizan make it, their fans are incredible. I have been to many final fours with macabbi in it and , yes their fans go in massive numbers and create good atmosphere, but they are rude as! Partizan fans are far better. I am hoping for cska barca and olympiakos partizan semis
Re: euroleague qtr finals
oh and def vujosevic coach of the year whether they make it to f4 or not. I see lakas that you have changed your mind about Vesely, you use to say at the begining of the season that he was not to be considered a rising star and now you think he is. I can see why, you are right at 1st you could see a lot of inconsistency but now he really is coming through. Agree with you .
Re: euroleague qtr finals
Never could had thought that Mesina is so stupid he sit Lavrinovic, Garbajosa for whole game when everyone whos playing sucked badly.

Well to be fair I think Bartzokas was the best coach this year hands down and I also think he is the best coach in Europe today. But Vujosevic deserves the award if he takes Partizan to the final four.
Re: euroleague qtr finals
Partizan won 76-67 and advances to final 4 with 3-1 win against Maccabi!!!
Final four contestants are CSKA, Barcelona, Olympiakos and Partizan!
Amazing, simply amazing...
Re: euroleague qtr finals
Barcelona are going to wipe the floor against CSKA. At least a +10 win for them.

[QUOTE=jamal99]He benched Velickovic too...[/QUOTE]
in game 3 he did, not in game 4. He played about 22 minutes today I think. Yet Messina like Ivanovic is one of these coaches that does not use his bench well and has a tendancy to punish players.Ivanovic almost ruined Vazquez,Ilyasova and Marc Gasol at Barca. I think vujosevic deserves more credit than bartzokas, I think his acheivement is greater, but true Bartzokas deserves credit. I am glad that partizan eliminated macabbi. They will have 0 pressure against Olympiacos.
