The Greeks beat Zvezda in Belgrade on Wednesday, scoring 88 points. Everything seems fine, but there is one detail: Panathinaikos played with six players. Ataman has no replacement for Lessort, and the Pao center played 37 minutes in Serbia. It's the same story with Nunn.
Can the Athenians' six men play another quality game in two days against a team with no roster issues? We aren't sure.
Barcelona
If you look at Barça's roster, you'd think this team has no rivals in the Euroleague. The back line alone is worth it: Rubio, Laprovittola, Brisuela, Satoransky, Jokubaitis.
Barcelona is clearly having a creative crisis. Well, they have ten assists in 16 losses. However, there was a bright spot—Barça expectedly lost to Fener on shots from distance but won 21:14 on two-pointers.
In their first-round game in Barcelona, the Catalans beat Panathinaikos. They hit 27 two-point shots compared to 17 for their opponents, five of which were made by Balcerowski, who is now almost out of action.
Expert Betting Tips
So, six Greeks are not six robots. It's one thing to shoot from beyond the arc and quite another to defend against a team almost twice their size. Pao might not have enough energy against Barça, and Barça won't lose or concede forever.
