Rob Scott fell in love with basketball from a town in northern England watching Toni Kukoč on the Chicago Bulls, and saw Pau Gasol and Šarūnas Jasikevičius ball in a south London rec centre. After a diet of NBA and BBL hoops got stale he dived back into the continental game and now writes for ELA within spitting distance of the 2013 Final Four venue.

    Underrate Agravanis and Papapetrou to your peril…
    Olympiacos’ problem last year was that after Itoudis complained about Olympiacos’ defense half way through the season, the refs started to call NBA style fouls against Olympiacos. At CSKA they conceded something like 35 free throws.
    After the change, Olympiacos’ matches looked like free throw contests.

      Did Itoudis meet them in his lair in a hollowed out cave?! Interesting theory, I still reckon injuries had more to do with it though 😉

    I seem to remember a few years back a semi-final where CSKA got scandalous calls during last 5 minutes of the game. So you will forgive some of us for being a bit on the conspiracy theory side of things.

    The team was designed to play defense. They got rid of Lafayette and brought in Strawberry whilst replaced Sloukas with Hackett. My interpretation is that they planned on getting stops and getting easy buckets in transition. They did a terrific job to begin with despite the injuries which started way before Olympiacos started losing.
    This year, having seen the “rule change” that brought teams like Kuban and Vitoria to the Final 4, they are aiming at a different direction. Obviously not going to get the stops they would like they brought in Green to help with 5 on 5 offense when Spanoulis is on the bench and Birch to fight for rebounds now that Olympiacos will be shooting more 3’s than 2’s.
