Lietuvos Rytas vs. Bilbao Basket

photo: 15min.lt Two classic Eurocup teams meets again on Wednesday on season opener. The hosts.   Lietuvos Rytas starting from the bottom. Capital team’s fans could hardly remember of good basketball taste back in the Siemens arena. The last averagely least poor season was back in 2014/15. Since then Rytas was having a nightmare both in Eurocup and Lithuania basketball leagues. Loosing 3 out of 4 semi-finals in past years (as till 2015 they haven’t lost any single one) was a quite big deal, so last season the capital’s people even stopped attending to the games. The pre-season.   After another terrible season club president Gedvydas Vainauskas whose rasist thoughts spread out the world fired himself and gave his belly fruit to entrepreneur Antanas Guoga. The ‘philanthropist’ Guoga lightningly fast dedicated sports director seat to noble basketball player Linas Kleiza. There were talks that he also made some colaborations with Jonas Valanciunas and Arvydas Macijauskas on suppo

Pieno Zvaigzdes vs. Siauliai

photo: D.Luksas Probably the most high pace team Pieno Zvaigzdes meets under-offensive-performing team Siauliai with freeway thinking philosophy of basketball coach Sireika. Pieno Zvaigzdes has one modern real center from 20 century - Zukanenko (8 min per game), even coach said he's important and will give positive impact on game, but he doesn't know yet where/when to use him. Ofc he doesn't as his team is playing hell of the run&gun basketball while scoring 90 pts every game vs. weak opponents. It happend in friendly games and so during the season. Siauliai despite they improvise a lot in offence met only one high pace opponent Lietkabelis, so their totals stayed under the limit so far. Pick: FT(OT incl.) Over 161.5 (O/U) @ 1.830 5/10 Bet365 (by: surrealite)

Vanoli Cremona vs Milano

photo: vanolibasket.com Opened season in benedetto Italia. Hosts Cremona "The Expendables" Vanoli this season remind me a lot of old friends gang with 2013/14 season’s fresh Capo d'Orlando company in front with nobale legends Basile, Nicevic and Saragna including another charismatic flagman coach Pozzecco. They won 2nd place in Serie A2 and started Lega Basket journey. What happend they brought some youngsters and took 14th spot in upcoming 2014/15 season, but that's on a stats. What really happened they been a tough nut to crack at home while being an average performer (Top10) with 7W and 8L in league in the time beating Milano Armani during the season as well as other tenacious rivals in very small margins, usually below 5 points. What? Yes, hold on I see some parallels 2013/15 Capo d'Orlando and this years Cremona. Cremona brought some "The Expendables" of former Banco di Sassari band. Old man Drake Diener didn't forgot those

s.Oliver Wurzburg - Bamberg

photo: Fiba.com The official opening of the Germany Bundesliga will take place on tonight's evening completely full Wurzburg arena as all tickets are sold out. Wurzburg after 2016 season comes with changes. 3 key athletes Ulmer, Lane, Odum and head coach Spradley been replaced by sophisticated coach Dirk Bauermann (former Brose Baskets & German National team) in addition with main chiefs Clifford Hammonds and Robin Benzig they cut the deal with Lithuanian basketball school representatives hustler Lipkevicius and all-inclusive Olisevicius (whose shape curve is rising every year). Moreover solid back-court guy Abdul (ex VEF), Richardson (ex Spirou) and Anderson (ex Antwerp) joined team. It's a pity Wurzburg will miss Anderson as he’s still injured, but the overall of GM work during the off-season might push Wurzburg to the next level among Top 8-12 Bundesliga teams. Brose Baskets is most dominate Germany basketball club in past decade. But this season they kinda

BK Valmiera - Latvijas Universitate

photo: http://www.bk.lu.lv Latvia basketball league and for starters we take Valmiera vs. Latvia University game. Might be a possibility that Valmiera cut some budget during the offseason as they gonna start with definitely younger and less experienced roster in front with last mahican Janis Kaufmanis and a charismatic, prospect coach Sandis Valters. ( more info: http://www.bkvalmiera.lv/posts/intervija-ar-valmiera-ordo-galveno-treneri-kristapu-valteru) Latvia’s University - the bottom of bottom teams and they hasn't changed much. I consider them to be more ready in the start of the season as 6 players took a big part of that bronze medal Latvia basketball team in Students Universiade a month ago. What's more during the beginning there's a lot of possibilities to catch some juicy and mysterious odds in Baltic basketball league, team Siauliai (Lithuania) already proved that at the start. I don't want to go here with deep analysis, that been profitable for me

Eurobasket2017 Final: Slovenia - Serbia

photo: Fiba.com It all comes down to the last Sunday night's big final where both Slovenia and Serbia are looking to add a gratifying chapter to their basketball history. For such a small nation Slovenia who never been tasting of any purity medals in their independent country history it's already wonderful life moment as fans are flooding Istambul. Even though Serbian's been successfull during the past championships, they could hardly remember their last fortunate Eurobasket as it was 8 years ago. This game is a lot controversial and I honestly could describe any team as a winner here and who can't deny that they aren't...? No one expected to see Slovenians who always lacked succes during most important games or Serbians with their almost 2nd squad here in Eurobasket finals. Should we bet here or just enjoy? Well it's really up to everyone's. But I see some value I want to try: winning margin 3 way - any other result (any team must win more than 6

Eurobasket2017 Quarter-finals: Slovenia - Latvia

photo: Fiba.com     Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is some late forecast for Eurobasket 2017 quarter final Slovenia-Latvia game. With wasting no time here I notice that I gave 55% Slovenia to win here, after odds dropped on Latvia, I see some value here as my expected value ratio is now over 1.20. First of all I been talking a lot about Latvia and to add more we are still not sure about their capabilities here. Basically I see more % probability to crash on Latvia side than on Slovenia. By meaning of crash I give Lithuania and Finland example - teams who been good so far, had potential and had played the worst game in most importang stage of championship. Why to crash? They had short preparation, and basically only home games, while they came to champ and played terribly-chaotic with no plays vs poor playing Serbia (lost by 10), then had two wins vs. low's - Belgium and Britain, the last one wasn't that easy, Latvia was leading about 25 and then in late
