A match for the semifinal between Red Star and Olimpija.I think that the odds are gonna drop for sure and I will make this bet now.In the first leg Red Star won with 93-87 at home with individual quality of Cook.In this game things were not working good for Red Star and their best player Tadija Dragicevic didn't play like he usually do and beside Cook and Bakic all players had more or less a pretty bad game.

Red Star have beaten Zadar in the last round with 14 points.Indeed Zadar didn't play with motivation but still this is a big win and a big boost for the host side.I think that Red Star is playing in a very good form and they have improved a lot in the recent time. They have a great shooting team and they are playing in a really good form,Dragicevic and Cook were mostly the best players and only good thing in Red Star.They had a crisis when their best center went in Dynamo but I can see now why did Red Star let Misanovic go.I can say that they have gained a lot with young Kikanovic as he is playing superbly recently and he scores a lot of points.Another center that Red Star bought in a winter break is Raicevic,experienced player,who is guiding this Red Star team lately but his points were lacking in first leg.He finally looks like a player before two years when he was in the bast form in his life when he was unstoppable with Gurovic.Both of this centers with superstar Dragicevic(MVP until now in Adriatic league) combined a powerful line.This three players have a great shoot and with Cook and Bakic in a form I see this as 50-50 game.

Olimpija is a good team but I think that they are not even close to Red Star big shooting team.Unlike Red Star,who has practically every player in form ,their stars Milic and Hukic is only good things in this side .Hukic is a team player but Milic when he plays poor he looks like Kobe Bryant on a bad day and because he had an excellent career playing even for Real Madrid and in NBA he has too much credit,far more bigger than he deserves.Red Star have also much bigger bench.

I think that Red Star is with this odds for sure worth a risk.
