Weekly top 5 of shame: 3. CSKA
3. CSKA
CSKA is one the best choices for this top. The Russian team was a big favourite in the Euroleague home game against Maccabi Tel-Aviv, but they were eventually smashed by the visitors with an embarrassing 93-76. This result proves once again that the competition level is very balanced and the underdog always has the chance to make the surprise.
But the real surprise was the numbers of many CSKA experienced players who were ridiculous on the court against the Israeli powerhouse: Cory Higgins scored 6 points, Sergio Rodriguez and Kyle Hines – 2 points each, Alec Peters and Andrey Vorontsevitch – 3 each, Joel Bolomboy – 0. They all contributed to the big blow.
