After a few weeks off the Euroleague is back! Week 8 was a tale of different fortunes for the Euroleague Adventures boys as Slam went a 7-5, but Freaknick went a-holy cow, really?-5-7. Now with a commanding lead in the pick standings (SLAM: 60-24; FREAKNICK: 58-26) let’s see if Slam can hold him off in week 9. And as always, you can read Freaknick’s extended preview for SLAMOnline.
FB Ulker @ Montepaschi Siena
Slam: FB Ulker needs this game they really do, and Slam tries to give hope to those who need it. FB Ulker
Freaknick: Siena
Lietuvos Rytas @ Partizan
Slam: This game has Major playoff implications and for someone that has been drinking the Bojan Popovic and Martynas Gecevicius cool-aid all season, I can’t pick against them, even though they’re on the road in Belgrade. Rytas
Freaknick: Partizan
Maroussi @ Caja Laboral
Slam: No Maroussi is not winning 2 in a row. Caja Laboral
Freaknick: Caja Laboral
Asseco Prokom @ Panathinaikos
Slam: Too much defense for an Asseco team that has to play only a few guys a lot of minutes. Panathinaikos
Freaknick: Panathinaikos
EWE Baskets @ Real Madrid
Slam: I haven’t picked against Madrid yet, you think I’m going to do it against the league’s worst defense. Madrid
Freaknick: Madrid
Barcelona @ Asvel
Slam: This could be a slip up game for Barca because it means a lot to Asvel and not much to them. JC Navarro is playing too well right now though. Barcelona
Freaknick: Barcelona
Cibona @ Zalgiris
Slam: I’ve come too far riding Cibona to make the Top 16 to jump ship now. Let’s GO Cibona, you can do it Marko Tomas, WE BELIEVE. Cibona
Freaknick: Freaknick
Olympiacos @ Efes Pilsen
Slam: It’s now been proven by Pilsen that talent does not equal wins, but adding Scoonie Penn might. Olympiacos
Freaknick: Efes Pilsen
Orleans @ Unicaja
Slam: Yes we’re all happen Orleans won a game, but a 2nd win is not coming in Malaga. Did anyone see Omar Cook in the ACB last week, 35 points. Unicaja
Freaknick: Unicaja
CSKA Moscow @ Union Olimpija
Slam: I Slam will never again doubt CSKA Moscow, I don’t know how they do it, but they do it, 5 game winning streak. Moscow
Freaknick: Moscow
Lottomatica Roma @ Maccabi Electra
Slam: Roma is a a really bad car crash, you hope everyone is ok, but deep down you know that there are some serious problems. Maccabi
Freaknick: Maccabi
AJ Milano @ BC Khimki
Slam: AJ Milano has been a dimly lit flame that just won’t go out all season. This week is where they show if they have the heart to make it to the Top 16. Milano
Freaknick: BC Khimki
