Eurocup - Siauliai v Zadar
The hosts will do everything they can to grab a W here after dissapointing defeat in Jerusalem in a game where they were in for three quarters,but eventually have slipped and lost it by 13.This is a very interesting team with roster full of domestic players with two Americans and one Latvian player.Siauliai plays in a small gym,they have strong support from the crowd,and it is hard to get a W here for any team.PG Low is their main player,Brown is another solid player and the strongest name is Mindaugas Zukauskas that is a little bit older but still a skillful player.
Zadar despite unconviencing road performances is a team that I like this year.And this mini road tour of three away games(Buducnost,Hapoel)will determine a lots of things,possibly even the future of coach Sagadin.There is a lot of complains of how he rotates this team(a large number of substitutions,somethimes disrupts player s rythm) but the club s board is acting like they are surprised,like they did not know who s coach Sagadin.Few years ago,when he was coaching Zvezda,he said that there s no player that can play more than 7 mins in one piece if he will play the defense the way he needs to.This is old school hard core coach that insists on hard defense.This team is athletic and they are very good in transition,what they are in a lack of is a big body in the paint.They are looking good,they are well rested as in that trashing of Bosna in saturday all the main players except Stipcevic were spared and did not played a lot.I believe that here,if they will be on the same level in D,they can be competitive,this +4 looks like a solid bet and I am taking it,mid stakes,GL!
