Real will return to dominant form
by Javier Gancedo
It has been a long month for Real Madrid since clinching first place in the EuroLeague Regular Season. Los Blancos have been waiting for this moment for a long time and even when Baskonia has beaten Real at WiZink Center lately, Coach Ivanovic and his team should expect a different animal this time. During the season, Real showed it can play better than anybody team, and now is time again for it to fully focus and make things happen. Real has a size advantage in the paint with Walter Tavares and Vincent Poirier; it has more experienced guards in Facu Campazzo, Sergio Rodriguez and Sergio Llull; and the fact that star forward Chima Moneke is injured makes things worse for Baskonia. Real is the heavy favorite and should prove it. My prediction: Real Madrid 3-0.
