Euroleague Top 16 groupings set

January 4, 2011

Word has it that an overload of traffic brought down the live broadcast of today’s Euroleague Top 16 draw. So, in case you were shut out, the groupings for the next round of top-level European action looks like so:

Group E
Panathinakos
Caja Laboral Baskonia
Unicaja Malaga
Lietuvos Rytas

Group F
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Union Olimpija
FC Barcelona
Lottomatica Roma

Group G
Montepaschi Siena
Real Madrid
Efes Pilsen Istanbul
Partizan Belgrade

Group H
Olympiacos
Fenerbahce Ulker
Zalgiris Kaunas
PE Valencia

Oh, okay, BiE’ll go ahead and say it: Group G is the “group of death.”

    Group G is just one good team full of americanos and 3 not that good teams. Group F will be intersting if Barcelona stays out. And Barcelona is already getting the help of euroleague by tempering with the original dates of games.

    Ziga what are you talking ???? efes ,partizan,real and siena all 4 very good teams , real is not up to its potencial… efes is waiting raduljica to come back from injury ,and they will be much much better with his at center spot he will be one of their main weapons when he becomes 100 % helthy … and partizan isnt playing like it can ,and they are close to singing euroleague star milos vujanic for rest of the season so i would not say that it is not the hardest group .. Barcelona has the weakest group .. groups H is also very good , and E is solid ..

    Group G is absolutely the group of death.. all teams are very difficult to beat on their home court.

    Pao has the weakest group. I’ll laugh when Barcelona when get through or maybe by the help of judges it will.

    In my opinion, Groups F and G are one of the tougher ones since all (except maybe for Lottomatica Roma, but you’ll never know) have a fair chance of moving onto the next round. The first couple of games should be a crucial indicator of how this round will go for each teams and their respective groups.

    @Ziga I have heard lots of comments about referees favoring Barca, but I beg to disagree. The team has shown lots of fighting spirit and competitiveness despite losing some key players to injuries and have managed to stay in there.
