Second Half: (36-37)


The third quarter started once again with Cibona catching their opposition by surprise and proceeding to score basket after basket to get a 6 point lead, 50-44 a few minutes into the second half. Popovic was still unstoppable by both Jackson and Ruf, and went on to relentlessly score on them. The Greeks’ comeback did not take long, however, despite both Mafia and pHLo were on the bench due to 3 fouls committed. Pedrajas was the go-to guy on offense while Hassakis, Haas and Watson were doing an admirable job defending the paint. The Croats kept a 2-5 point lead throughout the quarter, until the final second, when an unbelievable basket-to-basket heave by Popovic (who else?) went in and made it 67-59 to end the period.

Jugs and the rest of the bench players carried Olympiakos and kept their team close when the starters where either failing miserably or benched…


The fourth and final period started with Olympiakos being the one who made the better start this time. With excellent ball movement and unexpected offensive help by Patrick Kaas and Jing Xu, The Reds cut the deficit to 2 and actually managed to regain the lead some time around mid-quarter, courtesy of The X’s offensive awakening and rebounding prowess. Robert Pedrajas was still sinking his open shots and Florian Ruf was his usual pass first pass second self, having racked up 5 assists. In the final stretches of the game, Andrew Watson scored 8 of his 12 total points and single handedly gave Olympiakos their third straight road victory, 84 – 89 against Cibona Zagreb.

Patrick ‘YoG’ Kaas did an excellent job replacing below par team captain Dweaver, and along with the surprise play of recent addidion Jxuusa were vital cogs for Olympiakos’ third consecutive victory…


POG: ANDREW ‘THE X’ WATSON 12pts – 15rebs

good win.

Sun Aug 07, 2005 9:32 am

welcome back !!! =)
i had no internet the last few days and won't have it for about 2 weeks, so i can only check this forum when i'm at a friend's pc, like now

but it's great that dweaver is back now :)

nice recap ;)

and...
Florian Ruf was his usual pass first pass second self

that's so true...(Y)

i hope i can read the next updates, but i might not be able to comment it :(

Sun Aug 07, 2005 9:48 am

Oh yeah! Another win... but another ride on the bench... oh well, watever works for the team i guess! (Y)

Sun Aug 07, 2005 10:39 am

Reporter: Watson, it looked like you were sleep-walking through the first three quarters, but you exploded in the final quarter, which was instrumental in the team's win. Your thoughts please?
Watson: I held my guy (Markota) scoreless and you call that sleepwalking? My defense is underrated, that guy didn't get any touches when I was guarding him. Hold on, isn't that guy (Damir Markota) earmarked as a prospect with NBA potential and I shut him down? :roll: As for the fourth quarter, other guys were struggling so I did what I had to do to win the game for the team. Enough said, where can you get soulvakis around here?

Yay, it's my turn in the spotlight.

Nice win by us, Dweaver with only 4 points :shock: :shock: I nearly beat you, with 3 points :shock: :shock: .

Oh the bad thing was we beat a Croatian side :cry: , oh well. But I'm in the winning side so it's all good.

When the month is over, are you going to show us the standings and player of the month (if it's still there)?

You're getting better each game. (Y)


sweet! 7 points in 7 minutes! and 2 boards, nice + 100% Fg shooting.

You were the key to this victory, Jing. I used you at PF most of teh time, and you dominated poor Markota. :D


hope i can read the next updates, but i might not be able to comment it



It's okay, I know you'll be here. 8-)


Oh yeah! Another win... but another ride on the bench... oh well, watever works for the team i guess!



That's teh team spirit I want out of you... maybe you'll get a starter's nod eventually... :)


Hold on, isn't that guy (Damir Markota) earmarked as a prospect with NBA potential and I shut him down?



Yes, that's the guy. Problem is , he's rated 37 in the Euroleague rosters... :lol:


Enough said, where can you get soulvakis around here?



Wait till we return to Greece, I doubt there are any in Croatia... 8-)
