Hello.
Euroleague. Pao vs Maccabi. We're taking Maccabi with a positive handicap.
Pao is a complete mess of a team. On paper, they have a stellar lineup, but on the court, they play individually and you can't feel any input from the coach. Nunn is allowed to do everything and he takes too much on himself. That's how he scores a lot of points, but the team is heading downwards. Without Lessort, the centers are also useless. Holmes returns today, but he's not enough for Ataman to trust, and Yurtseven looks like he's not even a Euroleague player. It's unclear what Shorts is doing on that team. Korkmaz is the only one who performs solidly in his role, but after such a strong start, more was expected of him. The over on the team is a bust. There are no deeper ideas in their offense or defense. Against Virtus they looked pathetic. Of course, maybe it's just their egos, and we'll see a different picture today, but so far this season, they haven't tried too hard in any of their matches.
Maccabi is by no means a well-coordinated team, but they have enough talent. If they hold on to any opponent, we see Lonnie with a negative efficiency score and throwing bricks. The last results are quite optimistic - they beat Real and only lost by a few points to Oly. Of course, Barca's development somewhat distorts this picture, but overall the team seems to have potential. Their only loss was against Maccabi. Overall, I have a feeling that this team can do more than they've shown at the start of the season, so the handicap seems a bit too high to me.
Good luck.
