Panathinaikos is getting ready for the THY Euroleague Top16 clash versus Brose Baskets (Mach 28, 21.45, NovaSports3), Game 13, one game to go in the round. The team will be departing tomorrow (13.00), destined to Bamberg. Tonight’s practice was committed without Dimitris Diamantidis and Sofoklis Schortsanitis who were absent due to personal matters but who will be included in the team’s delegation tomorrow.
Numbers
Dimitris Diamantidis is currently only 2 blocks shy of 100 in his Euroleague career and of becoming the first all league guard ever to have tallied up such an accomplishment. The Panathinaikos captain has made at least one three in his 7 last European encounters and in 11-out of-12 games last played.
Jonas Maciulis follows in his steps with at least one good triple in 12-out of-13 of his last Euroleague games, scoring 29-out of-63 (46%). Also, he remains the only Panathinaikos player to have been a starter in all of the team’s games given this season in the league.
Roko Leni Ukic is only 1 good three-pointer away from 100 for his Euroleague career.
Kostas Tsartsaris needs only 2 good threes to reach 100 in Euroleague.
Stephane Lasme still leads Euroleague in blocked shots, behind 2 committed per game. He has at least one blocked shots in 9-out of-10 of his last games. He has also made 13 consecutive free throws.
