Zalgiris

Just like the last season, Zalgiris started Euroleague not as well as everyone expected. Moreover, at the moment, Lithuanians are on 7 games losing streak, and couple more defeats might end their season much sooner than last year. However, this season Zalgiris has already proven that they have much more motivation to play well against stronger teams. Cska, Real, Fenerbahce all these teams faced the very different faces of Zalgiris than all others. However, pressure will be on hosts, because every loss from now on, leaves less and fewer chances of even thinking about top8.

Anadolu Efes

Anadolu looks this season even better than the last one. So far they have lost only 2 times in Euroleague and once in Turkey Cup. Moreover, in a few day’s time, Anadolu twice won against Fenerbahce. It only shows how much improved this team became. Of course, very much depends on Larkin, as he became one of the biggest stars this season after scoring 49 points in a single game. However, coach Ataman must motivate the team to fight at its best, because Zalgiris is still one of the most unpredictable teams, and surely are not going to give up easily.
