  • The Truth
Cibona is one of the best teams in the league, the underdogs too. At home they are close to unbeateable. Josh is still getting used to the "euro" ball.

Olympiacos does have a star pg name Papaloukas(sp),but he looks 40ish.Final score was 93 to 64 Olympacos winning it.

Papaloukas isn't their star.  Olympiakos is absolutely loaded.  In addition to Childress, they have Nikola Vujcic, one of the best big men in Europe, Sofoklis Schortsanitis ("Baby Shaq"), Lynn Greer and Arvydas Macijauskas, one of the best shooters in the world.  A kid like Yotam Halperin, who is the best player ever to come out of Israel and at one time was projected as an NBA first round draft choice, can't even crack the first unit.

Brick it was my first time ever watching a entire euro game.You are right they are loaded,where Josh is  a role player,but in garbage time he played a lot better.Also thanks for the correct spelling of their star's name,tp to you.

This game was last Wednesday, I was kind of confused when I read the thread first.

Yeah, Childress is for Olympiacos what he was for Atlanta, a role-player that brings energy and defense. He can't shoot to save his life; terrible contract for Olympiacos.

I think Olympiacos won't win anything at all, they're too dependent on their bigs now that Papaloukas is completely washed up. Teams like Barcelona and CSKA are much stronger; even Panathinaikos it's fairly better than them, I think.
