Court 1 @ 9pm: Kazan vs Sana'a Sana'a is a more talented team on both ends of the floor, and they have the advantage in the paint.
Court 2 @ 9pm: Delhi vs Baghdad Weiss and Joe B are coming off a big win and so whichever team controls the paint will win. I give Baghdad the edge offensively.
Court 1 @ 10pm: Jerusalem vs Istanbul Jerusalem has multiple scoring threats and tend to keep it balanced. They just have to lock down on D (specifically Mustafa).
Court 2 @ 10pm: Tripoli vs Lagos Anthony and the Big O are going to be too much to handle with their inside/outside game.
That's how I see it and I'm sticking to it!

Court 1 @ 9pm: Kazan vs Sana'a Sana'a gonna win. Fursan can't do it all himself. Court 2 @ 9pm: Delhi vs Baghdad Baghdad gonna beat up on Delhi. Court 1 @ 10pm: Jerusalem vs Istanbul Jerusalem doesn't lose 2 in a row! Court 2 @ 10pm: Tripoli vs Lagos Sort of reminds me of Granada/Cordoba Summer '10  . Lagos should win but Bilal could pull an Ahmad H and win this game for Tripoli!

Kazan vs Sana'a: I have a feeling this is going to be a close one. Kazan will come to play. However I will give the edge to the undefeated Sana'a. Delhi vs Baghdad: Weiss is looking to a post another monstrous stat line and a possible triple double, if that happens Delhi will win. Baghdad is the best defensive and offensive team in the league, kind of hard to argue with the numbers. Baghdad wins unless Weiss posts a triple double. Jerusalem vs Istanbul: Istanbul run an effective system, all through Moose. Moose needs to lead them to victory and there is little room for mistakes. Jerusalem is one of the top fast break scoring teams in the league, and they will capitalize on any turnovers or long rebounds. Its offense vs defense this game, and I am going to say Istanbul wins this. Also because defense is Edriss' kryptonite. Tripoli vs Lagos: This seems like an interesting game that could go down to the wire. Big Bad O needs to establish his presence and take advantage ASAP. Lagos needs to recognize this and not rely on their 3P shooting, as their 3P% has been 20% their last two games. If Tripoli stands a chance, Bilal needs to come to play, as do Tripoli's role players. This can easily turn into a Granada/Cordoba show. I will pick the underdogs since Cordoba came out on top that game :) Edited by user Wednesday, March 20, 2013 11:41:44 AM(UTC)

Sana'a vs Kazan - This is an easy one. Sana'a has the best chemistry in the league and plays with a lot of intensity. Kazan has disadvantaged in probably every position on the floor, so they need a great game coupled with a bad game by Sana'a to get the upset. Prediction is Sana'a by 15+ Baghdad vs Delhi - Baghdad is probably the biggest toughest team in the league. Dheli's performance is either a hit or miss. Gotta go with Baghdad by 15+
Jerusalem vs Instanbul - Jerusalem has good offense but lacks defense and Istanbul is pretty so so offensively and defensively. Playoff time, you gotta bet on defense. Prediction is Istanbul by 5
Tripoli vs Lagos - Don't know much about Tripoli but I know that Lagos has solid guard and center play. If Anthony can manage a somewhat efficient game Lagos will take it. |
