Pathetic MaccabiOlympiacos, 8% from the arc at halftime

This is the best level in Europe. Two teams who have won the Euroleague title many times in the past played last night the most pathetic basketball ever. And now they will speak about defense. It was all about defense. That’s how they will explain the poorest percentage from the 3 point line. Both teams had 1 from 12 from the arc at the halftime, which is a bit over 8%. Ridiculous for every competition, but especially for Euroleague. The people in wheelchair score much better.

And after the halftime, the things went in the same direction: in the 4th quarter, Olympiacos had 1 shot made from 20 attempted from the 3 points line. Only with Spanoulis desperate efforts, Olympiacos finished with 5 from 26 for a poor 19.2%.

Aa for Maccabi they maintained the same horrible percentage till the end scoring 3 from 19 from 3 points range (15.8%). And they added also a very bad free-throw shooting: 55.6%, having 10 from 18 at this category.

One of the poorest basketball performance ever for both teams, who proved that cannot score because they don’t create open shots, they don’t focus in the moment of releasing the ball and they play chaotic basketball. Nothing to do with the good defense of the other team.

Wake up and play some real basketball, don’t come with excuses for poor results! Or go to play in Fiba Europe Cup, where is your level!
