It\u2019s a return to EuroLeague action after a week off for the various state cup competitions. For Maccabi it was a week to forget, after they lost the Israeli State Cup final in our capital city to Hapoel Jerusalem 61-67, in a performance which Maccabi coach Oded Katash described as \u201csimply a terrible day offensively\u201d. Their opponents Thursday, on the other hand, won their 4th German State Cup in a 90-78 victory over Baskets Oldenburg.<\/p>\n<p>After last round\u2019s disappointing 86-89 home loss to Red Star Belgrade, Maccabi finds itself in a challenging position, likely needing to win 7 of the next 10 in order to make the playoffs.<br \/>\n\u201cAfter the cup week, this is another very important game for us,\u201d Maccabi coach Katash said yesterday. \u201cWe are facing Bayern, we saw that they just won the German Cup in an impressive way. They\u2019re playing really well lately. They are a really well-coached team \u2013 a good defensive team \u2013 so it\u2019s going to be challenging tomorrow.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_68990\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68990\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/8744CF5C-3395-435A-8143-7C937E071FC5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/8744CF5C-3395-435A-8143-7C937E071FC5.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/8744CF5C-3395-435A-8143-7C937E071FC5-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-68990\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jarell Martin &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cWe know we\u2019re in a tough position right now,\u201d Maccabi forward Jarell Martin recognized. \u201cWe need to bounce back from the last couple of games that we lost, but we\u2019re definitely focused on getting better and finishing strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message that we\u2019re trying to focus on this week and moving forward is that we\u2019re moving on,\u201d Maccabi center Suleiman Braimoh concurred. \u201cTake that loss, take that pain, bottle it up, learn from it, feel it and try to channel it in the right way to help us to prepare to do better things for the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Bayern would need a miracle to get to the playoffs, they can still shape the standings in the games left in the regular season. They will feel confident given their good recent form, which will help give them belief that they can get their first European road win in more than a month. \u201cWe obviously had a lot of energy left over the weekend,\u201d Bayern coach Andrea Trinchieri said in advance of the game. \u201cI hope that the euphoria of winning the cup will give us enough strength for a good performance.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_41726\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41726\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/06B1D141-20FC-4564-AE99-BE1392AD7783-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-41726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrea Trinchieri &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThese two teams last tipped off in Munich at the beginning of December, a game which the Germans won 98-89. While there were many lows for the Yellow &#038; Blue in that game, arguably the biggest concern was Bayern\u2019s dominance on the boards: they won the rebounding battle 34-24, and pulled down 14 offensive rebounds, which gave them the opportunity for repeat attempts to score. Maccabi\u2019s bigs were particularly disappointing in that game \u2013 Josh Nebo, Alex Poythress (who is still out injured) and Roman Sorkin (who suffered an injury to his lip earlier this week in Maccabi\u2019s Israeli league 99-76 win over Herzliya, with Katash indicating that he hopes he\u2019ll be ok to play tonight) \u2013 managing only four rebounds in total.<\/p>\n<p>Lorenzo Brown \u2013 who was the highlight for Maccabi in the last fixture in Munich, with performance index rating of 43 and a scoring 36 points (both game highs) \u2013 is still playing back into form after recovering from the ankle injury that he suffered in Maccabi\u2019s 87-74 victory over ALBA Berlin, with fans hoping that he can return to form in his first EuroLeague outing in more than a month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLorenzo is still suffering with some pain, but nothing that is putting him at risk [for the game].\u201d Katash said, confirming that the plan is for his star point guard to dress for this evening\u2019s game.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_76625\" style=\"width: 1239px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76625\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CD57FFB4-2175-493A-B45A-A8185A083FB3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1229\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CD57FFB4-2175-493A-B45A-A8185A083FB3.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CD57FFB4-2175-493A-B45A-A8185A083FB3-610x635.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1229px) 100vw, 1229px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lorenzo Brown and Jarell Martin &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nIn their loss to Red Star two weeks ago, Maccabi\u2019s defense was inconsistent and loose, evident by Nemanja Nedovic scoring 6\/9 from beyond the arc. They will need to be more focused tonight, especially when they have the likes of Andreas Obst (who scored 3\/4 from 3 against Maccabi in December) \u2013 one of the and Vladimir Lucic (who was injured in the last game between the teams, but scored 5\/6 from 3 in Bayern\u2019s State Cup win last week).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have four dominant guards plus Obst, who is maybe one of the top three shooters in the EuroLeague,\u201d Katash said. \u201cThere are also lots of challenges that Trinchieri presents. We saw it in the last game against them over there, the one-on-one game, although they had a crazy day shooting from 3, I hope that this game will be more in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Can Maccabi get the W tonight and make a strong run to the playoffs? Martin certainly things so: \u201cThe group of guys we\u2019ve got, we\u2019re all competitive players, winning is important to us.
