I have huge respect for Jasikevicius and Fenerbahce now. I think they deserve very high praise. Not only they managed to get the win in Athens, but they also kept Oly only at 77 points and almost dominated every aspect of the game. First of all I think they win with their defence which was very great considering the game and the arena. And the great bench contribution. I think Jasikevicius is doing a great job, and we saw that they struggled early on the season, but they managed to turn things around. Amazing win for Fenerbahce and it might be a preview for the playoffs IMO.
After the first quarter I thought it would be smooth sailing for Olympiakos but man was I wrong. From that point it was really impressive what Fener played. I watched 2 quarters and the executed so well, felt like the good days, haha.
Another team that really surprises me this season, and I guess many people, is ASVEL. Last year a destination for an easy away win but this season they are standing at 11 wins and 12 losses. That's a great comeback!! Last season they had 9 wins in 34 games, now with 11 games left to play they already exceeded that easy! Beating Barcelona, that recently won away at the both other French teams, that are much higher in the EL table as well, is definitely not a no brainer.
Finally first win for Banchi.
We played the first half terrible against Zalgiris. But there was a completely different Fenerbahçe later on. The coach Jasikevičius must have shown his frustration clearly to them at halftime. Nigel Hayes is like the definition of consistence. He once again made the biggest contribution with 21 points. Guduric was also great in this game. We really need the extra contribution from him and the rest of the team as well. Nigel Hayes can't carry all the time.
Because we don't have a credible roster to play big unlike the past seasons. Real Madrid started to rise just as I expected. I still see them as the team with the best roster and I think they can still become the champions.
