My Prediction
KK Crvena zvezda by 4Oh, the delights of Euroleague basketball, where competitors are as diverse as the languages they speak, and where KK Crvena zvezda and ASVEL Basket are about to lock horns in a fascinating contest. Buckle up, folks...err...I mean, dear listeners.
Let's start with our guests from KK Crvena zvezda. A robust bunch throwing everything at the net lately, led by the charismatic Joel Bolomboy, who's put on a remarkable scoring clinic, making the hoop look like a swimming pool last month averaging 14.5 points per game. Not far behind is Nikola Kalinic, who chimed in with 11.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game last month. Let’s not forget Codi Miller-McIntyre who’s been serving spicy dishes with 4.1 assists per game.
On the other side of the court, letting it rip for ASVEL Basket - and I assume ripping some hearts along the way - we've got Theo Maledon, whose 16.6 points a game average last month would leave any opposing guard feeling a tad queasy. Neal Sako and his command on the glass have also caught my skeptical eye with an impressive average of 8.8 rebounds per game.
Taking a notable rendezvous down memory lane, the past collisions between these two ball-clubs have been bracing and invigorating. The last encounter saw ASVEL take home the trophy, but not before a strong retaliation from Crvena zvezda in the previous match.
As of late, Crvena zvezda looks to be in a more reliable stead considering their recent victory against formidable Monaco Basket and a better record throughout the regular season. Poor ASVEL Basket can't say the same, a grueling losing streak is what they’ve been tasting lately.
Considering the standings, Crvena zvezda’s at 8, while ASVEL Basket is balancing precariously at 17. Sorry to say, but ASVEL may as well change their team name to ASVEL Brisket with the grilling they’ve been getting.
If everything goes as expected - and in sports, when does it ever - Crvena zvezda would appear to have this one in the bag. Barring any perennial superstitions or catastrophic meteors, of course. So here's a completely logical, yet, dubious take from yours truly:
Albert’s Prediction: KK Crvena zvezda by 4.
