Big game today,especially after the surprising result of the first game in Russia,when Olympiacos won the game with a buzzer beater from unstoppable Greer.

At Olympiacos there is a lot of enthusiasm both at the team and the fans.It is the first time after a very long time,that the team has valid chances of going to the Final Four.The enthusiasm is enhanced by the fact that big rivals and one of the favorites of Euroleague,Panathinaikos faced an early and completely unexpected elimination.Olympiacos has great morale but the question is if they have the potential to win 2 times in 3 days mighty CSKA.For me the answer is not clear.For sure CSKA has better players and into my opinion,better teams,but through the whole year,I wasn’t impressed by their performance and I believe that they are not at the same level as thet were at the previous years.In a way,I see many similarities with Panathinaikos,2 extremely strong teams that got some very good players during the summer but for some reason,they don’t play at their potential.On the other hand,Olympiacos is a good team,as almost every team which can play tough defense,Giannakis is the rising star at Peiraias and everybody expect a lot from his team.It is a single game and Olympiacos has the potential to win it,so about the winner here,no bet for me. But,I think that the under/over line here is quite low.I think that Giannakis knows that if the game goes at low score,CSKA will have the advantage since it is their typical game.I expect that he will try to run the game a little bit more,with more fast breaks in order to take advantage from the ‘’hot’’ court too.With Woods having a more significant role the last 2 weeks and with Greer assigned to take many initiatives,I don’t expect a too low score game.I also believe that CSKA is more than capable to ‘’follow’’ this tempo or even try to play even faster,as they have done in the past at Olympiacos home,with Papaloukas running into the fast break at every chance.And if the game is tight,free throws at the end,always takes the score a little bit higher than expected.

All in all,I expect that both teams will score at least 72-73 points.My estimation would be something like 146,so I will go with over 141.5 here.
