Eurobasket2017 Group A: Greece - France

photo: Fiba.com


Two elite rivals and last Eurobasket Top5 teams gets together on the 2nd round game in Helsinki. Greeks drowned Iceland vikings boat albeit it shouldn't be the reference point considering their struggle during the whole preparation and basically the ending at home Athens (loosing to Georgia, Serbia x2 in prep). They will need to find true leader after Gianis couldn't manage to be part of the team. I can't find many now, when at the same time French has De Colo and Fournier as massive perimeter threat. Even tho they clumsily ended up the deja vu of 2015's start with Finns, I see them coming up more concentrated from the first minutes alike in 2015's while pecking the Bosnians in biggest margin as a bronze club company. Anyways, French are likewise in the act of reconnoitering, but the situation after 1st round dictates to benefit from HT.

Alternative Pick: J. Lauvergne over 10.5 (betsafe)
Pick: France HT -2.50 (AH) @ 1.88 7/10 SBOBET (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...

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 M...

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 ...
