Betsafe bookmaker picks

Kemzura can't handle such a fast pace, so he should slow down and avoid chaos. Even in Siauliai, he tries to imitate Urbona's words more. So overall, I expect a slower pace than usual, a third wheel, little interest and not enough energy.

Final. Gdynia reached the final very easily. They won both the elimination series 3-0 and all 6 matches with double-digit differences. Without injuries.
Gorzow's journey was much more difficult. Mikulasikova got injured, played in one match, and then got injured again, most likely ending her season. They won the series against Lublin 3-1 without having the home court advantage. In the semifinals, Miller got injured, but despite that, Gorzow won 2 consecutive matches and triumphed 3-2 against Wroclaw. Without the home court advantage. In both series, the decisive match was won by Gorzow in overtime. It is unclear if Miller will play today. The team's only tall player left is Smialek (22m).
Gdynia appears to be a clear favorite and winning by 12-15 points seems very realistic.

I will share my long-term choices. The Bulls are highly valued here, but DeRozan has left and he is already at a certain age, so the question is how long he will last. The team has young and talented players, and LaVine will also have to play because no one wants to trade him until he proves he can lead the team to victory. They play in a weaker conference, so it shouldn't be difficult to reach the play-in tournament, where the odds will be easy to secure. Personally, I see a lot of value here.

I will share my long-term choices. Houston did not do anything during this offseason, therefore I do not see any opportunities for them to rise higher. The Clippers may fall out of the top ten, but Memphis should make a comeback. The West is just too strong for a team like this, even if they manage to make it to the play-in, it would be difficult to advance without experienced leaders.

I think the upcoming season will be tough, as friendly matches have showed. Atamanas is not known for long good streaks like Bartzokas or Saras, so his teams often have many setbacks, but Atamanas knows how to play crucial games, which leads him to the TOP4. Atamanas has not been aiming for the first place throughout the season. Pao's team will be greatly improved, as Grigonis also mentioned in his interview. I won't be surprised if the same thing happens to them as it did to Efes when they bought many stars. Sara is a better coach if we only consider one season. With Barca, he often finished first during the regular season. This year, they have brought in some new players and their roster is very deep, so I think Fene and Oly will be fighting for the first place in the regular season.

Starting the season, I think it will be difficult, as friendly games have shown. Ataman doesn't stand out with long good spells like Bartzokas or Saras, therefore his teams have a lot of ups and downs, but Ataman knows how to play crucial games, which is why his teams make it to the top four. Ataman didn't announce his goal to finish in first place for the entire season. Pao's team will probably improve, as Grigonis said in an interview. I won't be surprised if they end up like Efes did, when they bought too many stars on top. Olympiacos, with Bartzokas' tactics, is a perfect fit for being the top team this season. The composition of Olympiacos is out of this world in all positions. Olympiacos has shown stability in the past few seasons and now the backbone has been maintained, with the addition of MVP and some youngsters who can make a bigger impact than Walkup.
