BASKETBALL IS AN EXCUSE
PANATHINAIKOS added size and experience to its roster by signing center Ian Vougioukas to a two-year deal, euroleague.net reports.
With or without Vougioukas, you can be sure the Greek League Finals 2018 will see Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos, as usual.

OLYMPIACOS – ANADOLU EFES
The white and red team will be without Daniel Hackett, still injured. It’s a long time the Italian player is injured, so his absence is not set to be a factor in this match. In game 4 the great Vassilis Spanoulis was the her with 18 points scored, he is the man Efes will care most in game 5.
Efes coach Velimir Perasovic knows his boys will have to do something more than what they did in the last match. In our opinion a key player in game 5 would be Alex Kirk, he has not an elegant basketball, but he is a useful player.
