Rytas - Neptunas

I am amazed how the same coefficient still holds up. Today morning will definitely take the win at home, and on Friday will close the week. Lithuania is holding on to the Slavinskas ferry, not even for a few minutes - it's comical, especially when the morning doesn't have any injuries and even the young ones don't have a spot on the team roster. They have already taken their Peru, so logic must triumph.

Even though Rytas has problems playing against Lietkabelis, as I expected, there will be at least one game in the Lietkabelis camp. I will have two options, either to take the team with the handicap or go with the first quarter over for Rytas. When you get such a tough draw from Panevėžys, there must be some kind of sports rage in the team. Lietkabelis is overall an unstable team, they have to rely on 7 players and it's doubtful whether they will be able to set up properly. Rubštavičius and Kovliaras are two problems that Rytas needs to solve if they want to easily defeat Kabelis. At least by covering them, life should become much easier with a 12-player rotation. Rytas' problem is that Žibėnas doesn't seem to react to the events on the court, or the players don't want to understand his desires, resulting in chaotic confusion on the court. I think these will be crucial games, where I expect Rytas to win and seal the series on the road, I don't expect any other outcome than Peru +10 points.

Despite Rytas having problems playing against Lietkabelis, as I expected, there will be at least one game at the Lietkabelis camp. I will have two options: the handicap with minus points, or the first periodover for Rytas' team. When you receive such a disappointment from Panevėžys, there must be some sporting anger within the team. Lietkabelis' team in general is in a crisis, they only have 7 players and they can only rely on their physical abilities, it is doubtful if they can recover properly. Rubštavičius and Kovliaras are two problems that Rytas must solve if they want to secure a win against Kabelis. At least one of them should be able to give some relief with the 12 player rotation. Rytas' problem is that Žibėnas seems to not respond to events on the court or perhaps the players don't want to understand his desires, resulting in chaotic confusion on the court. I believe these will be crucial games, where Rytas will secure a win and I think they will end the series during this away game, I don't expect any other result besides a +10 point lead for Rytas.

Rytas has to prove their advantage here, otherwise there will definitely be a big disappointment for the team, which before the rotation was positioned to compete against Lietkabelis in the semifinals. They need to quickly sort out their issues and face Zalgiris, who is already in the final. Rytas still hasn't played any normal games in this series and their legion is still not fully awake, but if they can wake up for these matches, I believe they could face a crushing defeat.

I think that the total is a bit too much, even though they played well in the second match, Rytas has Gudaitis who can match up against this center in physical battles. In Panevėžys, Rytas also used Masiulis against the Serb, which I assume they shouldn't do anymore.

We saw Gudaitis' amazing performance in terms of blocks in the first game, so at least one should be noted here as well. In the second game, he blocked one throw and also played under. Today, he should play over, as Enoch is not functioning at all and Gudaitis will be needed to stop Gagiciai.

I only find such a coefficient on Olympbet. Betting on over is not logical. Essentially, it's for the upcoming match in Panevėžys. I can't imagine how I could possibly be home in time for the morning. And away, it should be closed, because the opposing team is definitely better, the length of the handicap changes a lot in this match-up. And when the series moves to the fourth match, it will become an even bigger factor. I thought it would be 3-0, but now the logic says 3-1, and the coefficient is very tempting.

The only viable option in our attacking strategy with Rubstavicius, but Rubstavicius seems to be playing slightly above his abilities lately. He did manage to score 14 points in the last game, but only with a 4/15 shooting accuracy. He also enjoys playing individually, creating good opportunities and should continue to play for a significant amount of minutes in the current rotation.

At the end of the season, Peru never avoids, but otherwise never. Throughout his career he makes around 5 assists per game, so we have a total that is tempting. He should play a lot, as the opponent's defense is weak and they quickly gather holes.
