Women - Ramat Hasharon v Elitzur Ramla
16 April 2009 | Preview By Tipster
Ben Ben (Israel)
The series in the finals is tied 1-1. Late and deep in the third quarter , Ramla trailed by no less than 16 points and everybody thought that the game and the series is really over, but huge effort by Ramla cut all the margin and sent the teams to over time. When the over time started it was Ramla's game to win it 92-88 and to send both teams to the third game. Professionally , Ramat Hasaharon is deeper and more talented and much more balanced then their opponent but in the playoffs it seems that the team that wants more is winning. I don’t know how the loss will impact the mentality of the players but for Ramla , comeback is almost a habit as they did it so many times in the past and 3 times against Ramat Hen in the semi finals. The huge advantage for Ramla is in the coach position, while Eli Rabbi controls his team perfectly and knows how to get 200% of his team , Orna Ostfeld is controlled by the game with no good skills to call for the right move for her team. There is no wonder that Ramat Hasharon lost the cup in the finals against Ramat Hen in the last second after they led by 10 points in the fourth quarter. For me, in this game Ramla will try to start strong and not to chase after Ramat Hasharon and the veterans players in Ramla's roster knows how to do so. The pressure now is on Ramat Hasharon and I doubt if they can handle this kind of huge pressure and those who believes in an away win, can find the money line odd really great, 3.84, but I prefer to take the spread as I expect for a really tight and nervous game and grab it with full stakes.
