Thanks, I don't know about it but the final of last night was one of the greatest finals in the european basketball history. It started as a defensive game and continued sloppy with many turnovers of both side(10-7 first quarter) but then CSKA dominated the second and third quarters and then OLY made the miracle coming back from 53-34 to win 61-62. (Kirilenko finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds)

I'm so happy for the OLY, they were the weakest team of the F4 and they have budget problems due to the economic crise in Greece. But believing and hardworking paid of, they did beat the best two teams of the Euroleague in the F4 first Barcelona in the semi final then CSKA in the final. Now I'm expecting the same surprise from the greek NT in the Olympics against Spain and USA.

Was Andrei pouring tears after the game?

He looked upset but at the end he's Russian. (I haven't seen a crying Russian man yet). Maybe cried on the inside. He was the MVP of the normal season and he deserved it, but he wasn't effective in the F4 and was a letdown with his team.

Anyway this is his quote after the game:

"This is a very disappointing loss. I want to congratulate Olympiacos, they played a great game and coming back from 19 points down takes a lot of heart and a lot of guts. I think they did a very good job in the fourth quarter and punished us. I want to say sorry to our fans, who gave us great support. We are as disappointed as they are. We have a great team and it is hard to get it in the first year when the team has just been built. Last season, the team did not make it to the Top 16 and we went to the final this season. Of course, we wanted to get the title, but to be honest, Olympiacos outplayed us. They were the better team in the fourth quarter. They started making three-pointers in the third quarter and we didn't respond. We couldn't make our offense go; it was stuck at that point. It is very hard to explain what happened. We stopped playing and did not survive until the final whistle. At that point we were down by 1."
