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Wurzburg after 2016 season comes with changes. 3 key athletes Ulmer, Lane, Odum and head coach Spradley been replaced by sophisticated coach Dirk Bauermann (former Brose Baskets & German National team) in addition with main chiefs Clifford Hammonds and Robin Benzig they cut the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 have a fresh kickoff that might take a while to adapt. Notable players grew up and lifted their wings to the elite clubs: Causer (Real), Theis (Celtics), Miller (New Orleans), Strelnieks (Olympiacos), Melli (Fenerbahce) - all Final4 or NBA teams. Looks like a new beginning while adding: Hickman (Armani), Rubit (Ulm), Taylor (Bayern), Quincy Miller (Maccabi), Mitrovic (Zvezda), Hackett (Olympiacos). Brose definitely lost some strength under the basket in the front-court. It's likely they will try to focus on stretching the offence while playing futuristic basketball including Miller & Mitrovic, but on the other hand facing strong opponents no one is going to replace Theis and Melli. That’s a less positive point from Brose’s perspective as Wurzburg weak side today is backcourt line. Generally Brose should start slower and even though they will lack team play and talent of previous seasons they still gonna end up as Top 1-3 competitor in Bundesliga.

Now important moment, these changes should come with a cost and it already did during preparation stage. Meanwhile "They are ahead of us. You are already in the competition mode, have already two official games completed. They did not have the problem that they had to do without a national player in the preparation. Therefore, it becomes a hard matter. We have so far been able to provide three training units with the entire squad. What distinguishes us at the moment is the spirit and soul of some players. " - said Andrea Trinchieri (Brose Baskets).

Bringing up the rear Wurzburg already had official competitions in FibaEurope league and is having a huge moral motivation to make it up for lose in Eurchallenge while being supported in a full-house and having a chance to kick ass of most dominate team in Germany of past decades, despite having a 2-3 days rest (that is enough in season start) while Brose should be searching themselves as most top teams been doing in domestic leagues so far.

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...

Eurobasket2017 Group C: Hungary - Czech Republic

photo: Fiba.com Again pushing the big odds here. Czech's playing smart and on the basketball IQ level they are higher than Hungary, that's obstacle here. But... If we look deep into the squad Czech lost some uncontested front-runners Vesely and Shibb. There's still Satoransky but Hruban and Kritz ain't that guys to cover the loophole. What's more Hungarians didn't have a chance to see real star Hanga who's been the chief of the movement in 2016 qualification round (6W0L in group with Macedonia and Great Britain) averaging ~20ppg with lots of defensive presents. So far cuz of injuries in limited time he's been averaging only 6.5 ppg & 3.5 eff index. What if he finaly steps up to a gives his credits next to the Henchman Vojvoda? Another thing Hungary never had chance to play with full squad in friendly's. There was either Keller, Hanga (both 2 missed a lot from start) or Vojvoda missing that is 90% of the team. Well this one is basically for th...

Eurobasket2017 Group B: Georgia - Germany

photo: Fiba.com      Took -3 Germany @3.40, but this one became massive. Ok still value. Georgia has strong starting line-up even without questionable Tsintsadze.They played with heart last game vs. Lithuania and always been, but i hope Germans will and must take the advantage of the home support. Markoishvili isn't the best shape so is Pachulia. Shengelia is ready for the champ while Schroder is already lights out here. So despite German lacks more individual keys as Schroder, they move ball in positional offence and odds are still worth to try cosidering all the facts. Pick: Germany  -1.50 (AH) @  2.75 6/10 William Hill (by: surrealite)
