Regarding refs, Maccabi fans could easily feel shafted too. There were (IMHO) some ridiculous calls when quite obvious offensive fouls by Lassort went against Maccabi. But that's just what happens in Basketball. Refs are human and not perfect and mostly over 40 minutes it evens out.

Guys, I think you are inconsistent; you are saying that is a correct call and that the referee is not to be blamed but unfortunately the rule is wrong. In the other video your expert says that it is not a correct call because the player is not in the act of shooting. And the referee made these wrong calls even after examining instant replay. And that is what Ataman cannot accept as human error and I can't either but it is just my personal opinion.

I find the idea of final four stupid. The finals should also be played over 5 games just like quarter finals.

[@athanasiosskevis9190]

I can see your position but there is another point of view. Few years back euroleague with the previous management had destroyed greek teams and if you don't believe me you don't have to, just look the fund mismanagement, the last voting where he was voted off and the claims of giannakopoulos 3 Years ago stating exactly what the problems were. Refereeing this season is atrocious and teams have been favored but also damaged. It would be nice if euroleague made a rule to stop giving free 3 points to fouls where is obvious the player ain't gonna shoot from his own home (like Blatt yesterday at the last minutes where he looked like a clown). The fouls are super normal, katas decided not to lose from less lesssort, and he fouled him whenever he got ball and this is apparent from the first game as well

[@DM-tv3du]

Rebounds were a problem for PAO the whole season. Fake free throws is another story and closing their eyes on the other side of the court.

[@giolefpatceid]

Panathinaikos fan here. Here's my two cents: 1. The achievement of the team reaching the playoffs is big this year. Let's not forget that we're talking about a totally new team with a new coach. Professional sports is not fantasy, players and coaches need to get familiar with each other and learn how to play together. 2. Nobody expected Panathinaikos to finish in 2nd place this season. This attitude from the coach and the management in the playoffs can make a successful European season be considered a failure, which is unfair for the players and for the club itself. 3. The focus on the referees by both Ataman (the video he demonstrated) and official Panathinaikos are not helping the team at all, quite the contrary. First, they are causing trouble to Panathinaikos (Euroleague has said it's going to take disciplinary measures). Second, they do not help the players to focus on the game and to find motivation, they are creating alibis that "referees are the one to blame if we get disqualified". This is not the right way to do things, and this would never be the approach of the coach and the club when Pavlos and Thanasis Giannakopoulos and Zeljko Obradovic were at the helm. I'm not saying that every call was right, I'm saying that this shouldn't be the focus. If the club felt that they were treated unfairly, there are official Euroleague channels to complain (what Euroleague said in their announcement today). 4. It's a pity that we end up talking about everything else except for basketball right now. We have two great teams with amazing legacies in Europe and we end up talking about announcements and complaints instead of basketball. I hope Panathinaikos manages to bounce back in the series today. For this to happen, the team needs to control the pace of the game, to secure the defensive rebounds and to not allow Maccabi's transition. I hope we can control Colson tonight, as he has caused us a lot of trouble during the 1st game and we're going to miss Juancho today.

Panathinaikos organization is unfortunately trapped within their bosses toxic attitude. This guy keeps provocating and insulting everybody, even his own teams legends like Thanasis Giannakopoulos, Diamantidis, Alvertis, Zelico Obradovic. He also sympathises and frequently quotes fascists like Golden Dawn in Greece or Marine Le Pen, throwing racist and sexist slurs every now and then on instagram. He keeps blaming everybody but himself about his total failure as a president these 12 years. The problem is that young Panathinaikos fans, that haven't really experienced his father's era, where nothing like that happened, believe that this is the normal behaviour, overall creating a toxic environment throughout the whole organization

Guys, focus on facts.. once a reg ref being near the incident makes the correct choice, the other ref vcoming from the center of the court changes the final decision.

You day PAO is complaining that Brown takes a whistle because of the war in Gaza. Guanbakopoulis us out if limits here.. but he has a point. Euroleuague we would possibly like to have Maccabi to go further.. like a basketball Cinderella.. away from home etc.. all this passive aggressive story. But there have no solid data to support this.. so PAO should stay on bad refereeing.. they have strong arguments there. Ataman is going to be punished because he made this public.. Euroleuague said that he could talk to the organization.. but why the fans must stay in the dark.. with no info? This is what damages the sport.. not talking openly. Players, coaches all teams people work hard to be better.. why refs beyond criticism? Especially when we see them doing series of huge mistakes.. Didn't Heirozzuelo (possibly I write his name wrong) send a written note to all Euroleuague refs in being very very careful about deciding there is act of shooting when there is a foul and the player far away from the basket throws the ball to whatever direction so he can have free throws? In another game the scum player had his free throws given to him even if it was quite obvious he was about to pass, not to shoot.. he was not watching the basket at all.. I don't know which is reason behind all this.. I know what I see.. and I see incapable referees (this is the optimistic guess).. A coincidence repeated multiple times.. is not a coincidence.

[@DM-tv3du]

For those who believe Ataman’s statement is ridiculous. Would you like your team loosing any game because of free throws like those 5 points that Baldwin managed to score from a “foul in an act of shooting” from the middle of the court ? Referees were instructed clearly this year not to give such fouls

Mike James lost first game by his lowIQ decision to foul Calates in the last pocesion of the match! They had 1 point lead, and you don’t give them 2 fouls…You have to defend first, but it seemed that Mike made foul intentionally, Mike was too confident that Calates will miss one or two shots and he was too confident in himself

Clubs, coaches and mostly the players, are the protagonists of Euroleague. If Ataman wants to complain about the ridiculous 3point calls, he can. Euroleague should let the protagonists play the game and not fine clubs, players and coaches. Their only job to make a fair championship and they're missing big time. A lot of players this year complained about the referrers.

[@dv1935]

Whats this hype with Bartzokas Olympiakos.?As far as I am concerned it is a defensive outlet ,playing 90s defence and exchanging alot of passes in the other end. Sometimes it is not so appetite to watch. Unless you are Olympiakos fan of course

It's because Olympiacos consistently punch above their weight. We are talking about half the budget of Barca.

Pao owns ya all

[@kakiz1982]

Watching you guys for years and I do think that you are knowledgeable around the sport and nice guys. I am following European Basketball since 1996 every year. You have gone too far with the Pao disrespect. I know that you know how well connected Maccabi / Cska / Olympiakos / and Barcelona are with the leadership in Euroleague. The issue has started since 2009 if not earlier when they tried to give the trophy to Cska after a 20 point lead during the final and Thanassis Gianakopoulos was throwing 500Euro bills on the head of Bertomeu. 34 games this year and Euro Mafia decided to throw all that in the dumpster. There is a problem with Dimitris Giannakopoulos and Eurolague and its also his fault on a great extent and if this is not solved Pao will need to sign Jokic to go to the F4 or go the team budget to 60 mil to overcome the hostile Euroleague environment. It is not one match here and one there its a trend for the past 12 years minus the years that Pao gave up. They should have respected the effort of Pao this year to play beautiful basketball, get tickets sales and visibility up for Euroleague and not destroy them on the first opportunity they get.

[@ALXM1]

Did Panathinaikos teach your lovely Maccabi a good lesson last night? Still think Sloukas should play less? Now go back to criticising PAO because you're amazing at it. If you want to grow as a channel, learn to be objective.

[@deathseira]

I have had a massive go on Rytis in the past for his comments on pana. This time I agree with him 100% on everything he said on this episode. Stay calm and play basketball guys and the may the best one win. PAO president doesn’t represent the core base of the fans ☘️

[@PA1NA9THI0NA8I1KOS3]

The thing that DPG fails to understand is that there is absolutely no need for all this involvement, as it actually backfires most of the time. Why on earth would Euroleague want a team with such owner to win titles and be the "face" of the league? He has made great efforts this year building this really good team, with one of the best coaches as captain of the ship but he's been recently doing all this unnecessary stuff that will end up harming the team. Ataman knows what he's doing to earn a few 50-50 calls in the next games, although he was a bit over-dramatic and clearly Game 1 loss had nothing to with the refs. But it's his way of doing things, every coach has one. Zeljko does this in press conferences, Bartzokas during the games (never stops talking to the refs), Saras being sarcastic etc.
