Extremely crucial match here,between 2 teams which will probably fight for the second place of the group.Olympiacos(will play without Tsakalidis and probably Macijiaouskas) is coming from 2 consecutive wins against Aris,one for the Greek A1 and the other for the Greek Cup.New coach Giannakis influence was obvious at both games.Defence,defence,defence.I have to admit,that I am not Giannakis biggest admirer.I believe that he manages to play good defence,but he is really,really weak in offence.And good defence,might be enough to win Aris,but I am not so sure that is enough to win Maccabi.

Maccabi,after they fired Katash and took Surf,seem to play better and better.They have good roster and their type of roster I think is suitable to this match.They have excellent front line,with Fizer and Morris,capable of causing problems at almost any good defensive front line,let alone Olympiakos’ front line,which might be very good offensively,but in defence it’s below average(basically due to Jackson’s lack of defensive ability.He is really poor defender).They have problem at pg position,Buynum and Cummings aren’t exactly top class players,but Olympiacos hasn’t any top class pg either.Blackney is good player,but you wouldn’t consider him as starting pg at top Euroleague team,while Teodosic is extremely unstable.

I think that Maccabi has a great chance here.I wasn’t impressed at all with Olympiacos performances under Giannakis instructions,so I believe that Maccabi should be able to,at least,fight the game until the end.I rate this match as 50-50,so 5.5 points hc for the away team,seems a good choice.
