After winning the Euroleague, Pao played the semifinal series with Aris quite confidently - two wins with a double-digit difference. There were so few problems that even Balcerovski played 20 minutes per game in the semifinals, which is more than Lessort did. As for Slukas, his help was not needed at all - the guy played 10 minutes in each of the matches.

Bookmakers consider Ataman's team to be the favourites for both the match and the final series. Indeed, after losing twice to Olympiacos in the Euroleague regular season, Pao beat them three times in the national championship. This may indicate, among other things, that the Greek side of Panathinaikos' roster is stronger than its rival's. You can't argue with that, and no one cancelled the foreigner limit in the final series.

The Piraeans played their semifinal series just as well, taking down Peristeri in two games. One problem - they lost Fal. Olympiacos' forward line is lower, but obviously more mobile. If Petrushev is used at the five, the Piraeus attack will become quicker and more varied, but the defence will slump - the Serbian is too soft and timid in defence, which is why Ataman got rid of him.

So, the Athens team is in good shape, but only Lessort and Sloukas are on the chill. Whether they will be able to come out of their semi-retirement, we will soon see. Real Madrid failed to do that last season.
