Olympiakos will either strengthen or remain the devil
.jpg?ssl=1 "Olympiakos will either strengthen or remain the devil")
Fener had Pierre and Papagiannis on a big night, the Piraeus found courage through their game, but with seven players the season and this tough competition did not materialize. Bartzokas swallows swords, it’s time to get him a player. Pantelis Diamantopoulos writes.
What’s left of the Olympiakos game in Polis? Epigrammatically:
In the first half, the team was affected by the defeat against Panathinaikos.
Terrible Papagiannis, Fener gives him the opportunity not to apply pressure.
Bartzokas gave a recital in the second half, but with such a small number of players it is not possible to finish the season. The team screams that they need reinforcements.
My goodness is a player. And Madar probably fouled him on the dunk, but the American’s attempt was good and Milutinov’s jump was mistimed, which he would surely hit to send the game into overtime. But the former Real star can’t do everything, especially at a time when Walkup doesn’t seem to be doing well.
Olympiacos lost, but I think they benefited a lot from the performance in Istanbul because, best of all, they were convinced that the double would be assured in the end if there was an additional attacking force that could really threaten could. And no, neither Shikma nor McKissick can do that to catch up with whoever is absent.
Fener is a good team, for me they will be in Berlin. With valuable players, a good coach and respect from the referees. Olympiacos managed to recover as the game progressed, but the pressures in the Euroleague are enormous and Vezenkov was not replaced. Not just as a position, but also as an offer. Peters will have nights like Polis, but also others like with Panathinaikos. He’s fine, but not so good that you can sleep peacefully…
Lebron when he sees red
DeShon Pierre went 3/3 and Hayes caused Olympiacos problems in both defense and attack. It was as if the two entered the game with the speed they had from last year’s playoffs, where they were outstanding.
With the score at 11-1, Bartzokas called a timeout after his players lost it. And as they put more pressure on the Turks, Gudurich found space to do his thing. Fener in defense favored the changes and it was clear that Itoudis wanted to hurt the red and whites, who were already hurt by the “eternal” derby.
Fener did very well. Pierre sees Olympiacos and turns into… Lebron. And to top it off, the Piraeus team only scored 33 points in the first half, but the 46 they conceded were not as high as they could have been if there had not been a slight improvement on offense . And everything I just wrote to you was proven in the second 20 minutes when the Greek team made their comeback and almost won the game…
Small number…
It’s tiring to sit together and discuss the structure of Olympiacos. After the double in OAKA, we made it clear that acquiring a player who can threaten consistently is crucial. Things are clear and that was evident in the second half in Polis, where the team really put in an excellent performance.
So the question is: Kanan, Goss, Walkup, Papanikolaou, Peters. With those five and the two rotating centers, the team almost won the game. Is this how the season is going? NO. And if someone says “Yes, but then the others play too” I accept that, but it also raises the question: Will the others have the long-term solutions that Olympiacos is looking for?
And if the last question is answered positively, we will have to wait and see how many and who in the Euroleague can receive the additional reinforcement from the squad. Brazdeikis gives concrete things. Larentzakis played 5 minutes in Turkey and from then on nothing more…
Beans and 110%
In order to reach the final described above, Olympiacos had to prevail in the game itself and against itself. And November has just arrived. Getting one or more players is not a new need. I don’t know who or who they will be.
Since the summer, this story has become boring as there have been missed opportunities that would have made this team the favorite for the Final Four again. Instead, this is a team whose coach is struggling to get 110% out of certain players. Because if they don’t give it 110%, the beans won’t come out. Clear thing…

“Kharkov Falcons” announced his return to the team Vyacheslav Kiktev.
The 23-year-old basketball player spent the first half of the season on loan at BC Zaporozhye.
As part of the Kazakhs, Kiktev was on the field for an average of 14:42 minutes per game and recorded 4.4 points and 3.0 rebounds.
“Due to the huge competition for the Pinterest position, I started loaning Vyacheslav to BC Zaporozhye in the summer. We had doubts about whether Slava would get enough playing time with the Falcons this season, especially considering the fact that he averaged only 10:41 minutes per game last year, even in the Major League. Under these circumstances, the loan from BC Zaporozhye was a consistent and balanced decision, and in my opinion, it was in Vyacheslav’s best interest. Luckily, the loan club was also in the interest of Vyacheslav.” BC Zaporozhye had almost no players in the center position and we knew that our player was guaranteed to get playing time.
A number of injuries in our squad necessitated the return of Vyacheslav Kiktev to the Kharkov Falcons. Due to lack of players, we have not been able to train five-on-five for more than a month. At the same time, the recovery period of players such as Dmitry Kleban, Nikita Bezima, Dmitry Martynov has also been postponed – at the moment we do not have specific information about when these players will fully return, at least to the training process,” Valery Plekhanov commented on the transfer.
Earlier, Valery Plekhanov summarized the team’s results for 2025 and talked about the preparations for the continuation of the season.

The NBA sent a memo to league teams proposing stricter rules on injury reporting and betting because of federal charges in gambling cases involving current and former league officials. The purpose of the changes is to reduce the value of insider information and prevent manipulation of results.
The league is considering measures to prevent intentional losing, more frequent updating of injury reports and restrictions on betting on individual match events. Specifically, teams will be required to submit injury reports updated every 15 minutes on match day. It is also planned to expand gambling-related education programs, strengthen the protection of players and staff against pressure from bookmakers and improve the monitoring of suspicious activities.
In addition, the league plans to introduce discounts and restrictions on betting on individual player statistics, highlighting the need for greater control over the types of bets offered by bookmakers.
