Race for 8 the Euroleague match between Panathinaikos and Red Star.
If someone told us at the beginning of the year that this match would have been very much in favor of the 2 teams in the next round we would definitely be crazy. However, Panathinaikos is very bad so far in Euroleague and has record 3-4. He defeated Lietuvos Ritas and Red Star with a thousand zombies, since 2 scored 15 points. The 3 victory made it against Lamboral Koutsa with 104-83, in a game that Lamboral came down with only 8 players in honor of many injuries he had at that time. Diamantidis is particularly predictable in the attack after he has attempted 7 so far as 8 has doubled while 48 has attempted three-pointers with a miserable 26%. But Masuiles, Bramos and Ugric are also suffering from Eurobasket and have not yet found pace .
Since the other Red Star from where we expected to be the boxing bag, he has done good games and has managed to win 2 victories against Lietuvos and Lamboral Koutsa.
Apart from the hosts, Pappa will be (2 months out due to a problem in the elbow) and Lassem doubtful. For the Red Star he will be the Forward Mitrovic.
I expect Panathinaikos to make a good game after a long time and break out.
