Hello.
EuroLeague. Paris vs Basques. We're facing Basque's plus team.
This is my second try with Basque away, maybe this time I'll be luckier 😄. Basques are showing some signs of recovery. Yes, they play their usual run and gun basketball with an abundance of 3PT and very high-scoring games. At home, both Olympiacos and Panathinaikos were very close to losing, but they pulled through with their talent. Away, they burned with Valencia. However, in the ACB league, they achieved their first victory and it was not against just anyone but against Real. Again, it was a high-scoring game (105-100) but that's the kind of basketball Paris also plays, so I think the opponent is very favorable. Forrest looked much better in Basque than in Piraeus, as did Luwawu-Cabarrot. These two will also be important in EuroLeague, I believe. Let's add the athletic Diallo, whom I always enjoy watching, and it makes for a very exciting team to watch. Yes, Howard's nonsense can be annoying at times, but sometimes it works for him.
Paris is also a running team. They impressed with their running game against Maccabi and Virtus, but both are not exactly teams with the highest talent. Maccabi may have that talent, but they had even more chaos in the first rounds. They lost to Fenerbahce without any fight. On the domestic front, they lost to Monaco over the weekend, so the mood may not be the best, but it seems like this team doesn't care much anyway. Hifi continues to shoot his ridiculous shots with unbelievable accuracy. Someday, he will have a harder day and then he'll look like Howard (well, maybe a little less). There's still a question mark over Robinson, so if he doesn't play, I think it'll feel worse than against Virtus, where the team is stronger defensively anyway.
So, we can expect crazy basketball here and it's anyone's guess who will win, like flipping a coin. But the handicap is not small and considering how Basque always plays well against Paris, I believe it will be similar here as well. Perhaps even a win. Good luck.
