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

Pretty good defensive team

We`ve seen two very cautious semifinal games and Barcelona showed why they are one of the best defensive teams in the league. Tough fought, grind-out win against CSKA Moscow showed what the Euroleague playoffs are all about. Both teams we`re playing good defense and combined for only 50 half-time points. Teams started scoring in the second half, but it was obvious neither team wanted to give their opponent any chance for easy baskets. The game ended with a low score of 64-54 in the favor of the Spaniards. Barcelona is a team built of experienced guys and young talent. They are well aware of the fact that the defense could be the difference maker in this as well. bet now

Could be forced to slow things down

Olympiakos, one of the best offensive teams in the league has shown they can have problems against good defenses. Partizan proved to be tougher opponent than most expected and with their hard-nose defense they`ve made it very difficult for the Greeks to score. Both teams combined for just 61 points in the first half and 134 points in four quarters. The game ended after a over-time, with a score of 80-83 in favor of Olympiakos. Panagiotis Giannakis` side is about to face yet another solid defensive team and they will probably be forced to take wise, open shots. online betting

No room for errors

In the first round of the Euroleague playoffs we`ve seen two interesting, high-energy games. Both games were pretty much close until the final buzzer and both semifinals had pretty much followed the same scenario. It`s obvious that in this stage of the competition there`s little to no room for errors and defense is the key to winning these type of games. With that in mind and the fact that one false move could mean the difference between a success or failure, I doubt that either team will try to force things. Expect to see lots of half-court, set pieces, with both teams trying to take care of the ball as much as possible. bet online
