Real Madrid v C.B. Granada

Real lost in opener in hot Malaga and by the newspapers there was no cohesion between players. That’s only newspapers. Real was in the game till 4 quarter and to loose in Malaga is not a big deal to them as they have lost there several times before. Last season they lost with double digits on road from almost all big teams in ACB and have always bounced back winning with double digits against some unlucky weaker opponents. Against the Granada they won with over 20 points in last two seasons. It’s not a best time to visit Vistalegre at this moment. Home team will be motivated and boosted by the fans as arena will probably be full.

The visitors won last game with only 4 points against newcomers Bruesa. Most of the game it was pretty equal and Bruesa got themselves into last quarter with +3 points.

Imo Real should dominate under basket and probably outside too. Gutierrez and Borchardt will have a hard task against Reyes, Massey and Papadopoulos, as will Cherry, Hunter and rest have outside against Bullock, Hosley, Tomas etc., probably left with option to shoot behind the arc on the rim they are not used to. I doubt Hunter will score that much as he did in first round. Lopez is still out but I think Real won’t have to many problems with the ball transfer.

Home team is known for their fast and furious start into match and second half, while the rest of the match they just control the advantage they have. HT/FT 1/1 is also a nice material for combo. Probably an over is also good but I ain’t so sure about it and will go only for Real to win more than this spread.
