My Prediction
Olimpia Milano by 4Talk about a European showdown to make your cheesy croissant quiver. We've got Partizan taking the business end of a plane trip to square off against Olimpia Milano.
Partizan, despite their gladiator-like name, have been performing more like the Walley World souvenirs they are, with a see-saw season record of 10-11. In terms of talent, they've got Sterling Brown and Tyrique Jones, who've been knuckling down when the game clock begins its merry dance. Brown's been tossing around an average of 16.3 points recently, with Jones close behind with a 14.8 average. Not bad, not great, but not bad.
On the other side of the court, Olimpia Milano has been sitting pretty in the standings at position #6. They can thank players such as Nikola Mirotic and Zach LeDay. Mirotic has been positively on fire with an average of 17.7 points in the last month, while LeDay's admirable 12.5 ppg begs for recognition.
In the historical record of these two titans, Olimpia Milano has been the victor with a few narrow wins. But heed this, friends: history is penned by the victors, and today could be a plot twist that would make George R. R. Martin grin.
Yet our prediction isn't made in crayon in the chaotic sandbox of gut feelings and team colors. We take a good, hard look at the stats. Peering into our oracle-like data ball, we see that Olimpia Milano's sturdy performance in the past, coupled with their strong standing and key players, gives them an undeniable beefiness coming into this match.
So without further adieu, for those of you in the expensive seats reaching for your wallets, here's my prophecy:
