We all saw what happened last week in the two OAKA games. At first the greens playing totalitarian basketball for three minutes raced Maccabi, but 48 hours later appeared totally different, tired and somewhat paranoid and Maccabi rightly took the big double in the prolongation.
So the European champion must take at least one of the two games in Israel to pass to Final 4. Restrained, defeated by defeat and of course by Obradovic's mastery, with a bit of a trick coming up against Blatt, I expect Panathinaikos to answer the Israelis to the hot Jad Eliao.
This is the game that PAO has to win and I believe it can do it because it has the experience, the coaching price and mainly does not chew from seats. The double at 2.20 is a challenge and I will bet it.
