Somehow, we completely forgot to celebrate our 50th episode—WTF?!
On the court, EuroLeague Round 29 brought plenty of drama. Round 29 also had its fair share of surprises, as some teams shocked everyone with unexpected performances (00:02:31). The Eternal Enemies Derby saw Olympiacos take an early lead against Panathinaikos and never look back, with tensions flaring on the coaching bench and, unsurprisingly, PAO filing yet another complaint about officiating (00:10:43). Barcelona put on a show with a wild first half, Kevin Punter was on fire, but the big question remains—can they sustain this style of play for the remaining 5 Rounds? Meanwhile, Partizan suffered two tough losses in a row, leaving everyone wondering where they go from here (00:17:53).
Is there such thing as an easy road to the playoffs? Probably not, but we still take a closer look at which teams seemingly have an easier or tougher path to the postseason (00:24:22).
And to wrap things up, we dive into an exciting what-if scenario that could have changed everything this season. What if certain players had switched teams (differently), how would that have impacted their performance, their new team’s standing, and even the overall playoff race? Would a struggling contender have become a true powerhouse? Would an underdog have made an unexpected run? We each pick one player and break down the ripple effects of this alternate reality—because in a season this competitive, one move could have shifted everything (00:36:51).
