Match preview: Barcelona - Olympiacos 2010-05-09 (Euroleague)

The throne is near

Barcelona will have a chance to finally regain the EL title, and considering the way this club has been playing this season, I think that would be something fully deserved. Barcelona rarely lost their games, as a matter of fact, their only losses in EL were to Partizan and Real Madrid, while they are also extremely dominant in their ACB leagues and are huge favs to win it again as well. President Laporta was extremely pleased after Barca had won against CSKA in the semifinals, and even though they played pretty nervous, they had more than enough strength to comfortably finish the Russians off and even celebrate by double-digits with a few late triples in the game. It`s certain they will show the best performance of the season in these finals, and when they play their best basketball, the other team has got no chances to do much. bet now

Childress as a savior

If Josh Childress hadn`t been in the right place when Milos Teodosic air-balled his three-pointer with 2.6 seconds to go in the regular time, the expensive side from Greece would now be playing for a dissappointing 3rd place at this final four. The lack of energy and fighting spirit shown by the Greek side was indeed surprising given the significance of this tournament, but they eventually managed to run away with a very valuable victory and already improved compared to the last season`s final four, when they ended at the 4th spot. Coach Giannakis made many weird subs, kept Halperin out of the game during the entire time, his players were pretty passive on the offense, and the only two guys who were brave enough to do something were Teodosic and Papaloukas, while everyone else was hiding on the court during the key moments of the game against Partizan. It was actually a bit embarrassing to see such an expensive team play so coward-like, but somehow they were fortunate enough to win and will be in the big finals after all. online betting

Barcelona all the way

I`ve taken this bet last night when the odds were much higher on this spread but I will still recommend it at these odds as I don`t think this will be a close game at all. Barcelona is very eager to finally regain their EL throne, while Olympiacos has played a pretty average game and was on the verge of losing to Partizan, but I don`t think they can play any better than that right now, especially not on defense. Barcelona has got much more quality, and is a more compact and complete squad than the Greeks, and since they played this entire season almost perfectly, it would make the most sense for them to finish it in a spectacular way and by blowing Olympiacos off. A double-digit win is very possible, but I`ll just stick with the smallest spread available. GL. bet online
