“Olympiakos Piraeus is a team that goes until the Final Four one year after another, while Zalgiris Kaunas never advances further from the Top 16 stage. Does it promise an easy life to the Greek giants? I doubt it, even though time will be the only answer giver. Anyway, I’m not going to handicap any of these two teams, and the two way market interests me even less. What I do like about this game is an idea of an underish scoreline. Zalgiris may be a bit better offensively than they’ve been so far, because they took Euroleague legend Jasikevicius as the new head coach after firing Krapikas nearly two weeks ago. Zalgiris was dead offensively under Krapikas and their sole strength was serious approach to things going on on their own half court. Jasikevicius is going to bring more life into Zalgiris’ offence but he still needs more time to change his team’s face. For now, Zalgiris remains a defensive-minded team, even though they’re missing injured team captain Javtokas. Olympiakos is a team tham symbolizes defence. Their offence is built on simple pick’n’roll plays and long range shots, and leader Spanoulis tries to make things happen with his individual skills when the team needs it. However, this simple offence seldom feasts on the floor, so defence remains the main strength for the Greek club. After a shocking 72-77 home loss to Brose Baskets in the last round, Olympiakos will be keen to get back to winning ways in Kaunas and their defence should come all over Zalgiris. Zalgiris have lost their back-to-back games to Real Madrid and bitter rivals Lietuvos Rytas, so they’ll be resisting as tough as they can – Jasikevicius does know how to inspire his players! I think this will be a very intense game with defence dominating offence.”
