15 December 2009

Preview By Tipster Jadran

Handicap +3 : -3

This is the match between Azovmash and Teramo in the Eurocup

Teramo is on 2W and 1L and Azovmash is still winningless in 3 games in this group.And these two teams played last week in Italy,a game where Teramo was down by 4 at the end of third quarter,but have found a way to turn this one and win it by 8 eventually.Trio Amoroso-Diener-Jones was solid and they took over in the end,but the fatigue of the visitors who have played with 7 players in this one,maybe was decisive here.

To travel all the way to Ukraine is very hard and exhausting trip and even the much stronger teams than this Italian team had problems adjusting to conditions after that journey.Game 1 already showed that the hosts can be competitive in this one and first assignment for them will be to slow down the Teramo s guards that can be very dangerous when they catch the rythm.Daniels had monster night for Azovmash coming off the bench and having 23 pts+10 rebs,Hasan Rizvic is finally showing his potential and their player No1 is still House,and although he s not used to his new teammates,and his new team,he can still drop 20+on every single opponent and especially against this kind.Like I said,many better teams than Teramo had tough time in Ukraine in the past,and I believe this time will not be an exception,mid stakes on the hosts not to lose by 4,GL!
