Written on March 16, 2021 at 8:34 am, by Kostas Pallikaris
Maccabi (currently runs an 11-16 record) have been left without goals for this year’s Euroleague. Participation in the top eight and the tourney’s playoffs are now a distant dream for the People’s team and Israel’s most prestigious sports club. Coach Sfairopoulos and his associates are already thinking about what went wrong with this season’s planning…. Continue Reading »

What an outstanding performance and an important victory in Denver for the Mavericks (20-17, 8th in the West) two nights ago. Dallas dominated on the court from start to end, and the win can only be called very fair. Luka Doncic never needed an introduction to basketball fans since he stepped his foot in Dallas….

15 March 2021 – Washington Wizards vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Written on March 15, 2021 at 6:42 pm, by Kostas Pallikaris
Three consecutive losses for the Washington Wizards (14-23) are trying in vain – to reach the top ten in the Eastern Conference. They cant scare anyone when Beal (32.1 points) is not around, but the Wizards leader is expected to come back in action tonight. Simultaneously, though, the excellent three-point shooter Bertans (11.3 points) will… Continue Reading »

Pelicans needed a win desperately to get back in shape. Thank god (for them) they found it against the Cavaliers (116-82). Not a surprise this year, right? They have halted the continuous negative results, and there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually, we hope. An excellent performance by Ingram (28… Continue Reading »
14 March 2021 – Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz
Written on March 14, 2021 at 6:34 pm, by Kostas Pallikaris
Warriors are currently finding themselves on the edge of the Western Conference’s playoffs with a record tied at 19-19. Which brings them – surprisingly – at the 9th place of the standings. They have lost some ground recently, but given the circumstances, coach Kerr should be more than happy with this year’s performance. They are… Continue Reading »

They got second place in the league (with a 14-5 record), just below their guests for tonight (14-6). Brindisi comes from a super close home victory for the BCL midweek (83-79 against… Continue Reading »

Written on March 13, 2021 at 4:09 pm, by Kostas Pallikaris
Barcelona celebrated its fourth consecutive victory over Real, after the emphatic 81-76 in Madrid for the Euroleague on Thursday. And it seems they have secured the 1st position in the regular season of this season’s tourney. However, they remain second in the Spanish championship (19-3), and it seems this will be the final ranking for… Continue Reading »

Written on March 12, 2021 at 11:53 am, by Kostas Pallikaris
San Antonio (18-15) continues its battle eying the post-season in the Western Conference. Coach Popovic seems to be performing its usual “magician” skills. He has managed to transform its pretty average roster into a decent team. A group of people that know precisely what they want to achieve on the court. It seems we are… Continue Reading »
12 March 2021 – Olympiakos Piraeus vs. Zenit St. Petersburg
Written on March 12, 2021 at 10:56 am, by Kostas Pallikaris
Olympiakos Piraeus (12-16) managed to stop – temporarily, maybe? – its descent in the Euroleague standings table by defeating Red Star Belgrade in Faliro last week (94-79). The Greek Reds were coming from a series of 7 consecutive defeats that resulted in the worst difference in Piraeus’ recent European history. It seems that the rest… Continue Reading »
