It doesn’t seem like the big Georgian has fully settled in yet, after his arrival from Tel Aviv. But one of the huge advantages Efes had in Game Four was interior size, which led to an incredible 50% offensive rebounding percentage. [...]

One small thing. On the boxscore, wouldn’t it be more just to have a) the assisted/unassisted buckets/FTs per player and the buckets/FTs coming off from a steal/dead ball/defensive board situation? Just asking..

You know I love it, since you are adding IQ in the system, but isn’t the limited minutes a bit of a misdirection? Just asking ;-)

I’m also wondering about Abrines. There’s plenty of room now that Pete is out. If Abrines and Rabaseda are both not up for it, Ingles will have to play 33-35 minutes a game. So the young guys better produce.

In regards to the Baskonia lineup, I would like to see more of Jelinek, who has been positive on small samples of play, at SG instead of San Emeterio, but I guess it’s not the right time now at this stage. As for CSKA, I am impressed with Papaloukas’ link as well. I agree. He is back to a safer environment for producing

Panathinaikos has limited chances in regards to the matchups, but apart from Mickael’s injury and the wing confrontation (which will apparently occur, as Abrines is unlikely to have such a great game as the couple he had against Maccabi and in ACB today and the Ericsson-Hezonja duo will likely barely see significant minutes) might give them something higher than the averages reveal
