ACB:Estudiantes vs Tau Ceramica -by jadran

This is the match between Estudiantes and Caja Laboral in ACB

Estudiantes is the team I was the most impressed with in this season,in ACB.They are deeper now with sharpshooter Lofton and even more dangerous from outside.They are all healthy and the team chemistry is strong,the players have faith in each other.I have always appreciated Popovic down low,this guy plays with a lot of heart,and with Caner-Madley doing little bit of everything,this team is extremely strong and especially in their own court.Two all rounders,in Suarez and Jasen,can score 15+on every single opponent,and they are really regular contributors.They are in very good mood at the moment,they have won the last two and the last seven home games,from which,some were against top class teams(+12 vs Pamesa,+2 vs Real,+6 vs Bilbao).I would add here that they were beaten only once by more than 3 points at home,against Cajasol(-19) in their 13 home games.

Caja Laboral has done the impossible,they were trailing by 14 while Khimky was up by 16 at the same time,three mins till the end,but they somehow managed to catch the OT(Huertas missed his first free throw on purpose)where they have done their job against tired and demoralized guests.But this extreme effort must leave some consequences eventhough Caja is pretty deep and Ivanovic is using 10-11 players.They could not found their rythm for 37 mins,they seemed completely confused on Cibona s 2-3 zone defense,and they could not get as much open looks as they are used to.And that s the successful model how to play against this great shooting team,by being aggressive on the perimeter.If they would not be able to shoot the ball extremely well tommorrow,they would soon find themselves in serious problems because it is more than clear that Barac,as their only big body in the paint,is just not enough.Estudiantes+3.5,mid stakes,GL!
