Maccabi will need to have a much better start to the game against one of the top teams in Europe to give themselves the best chance of winning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarcelona is one of the more impressive and best teams the EuroLeague to date,\u201d Maccabi coach Oded Katash said. \u201cWe\u2019re coming into the game after two games in which our first halves weren\u2019t good and our second halves were much better. Since the start of the season we\u2019ve had lots of ups and downs, but the last two weeks this has been even more extreme for us. Against a team like Barcelona, of course it won\u2019t be enough. We need to be focused for the whole game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s been plenty of criticism of Maccabi\u2019s frontcourt in recent times. Bonzie Colson and Josh Nebo lead Maccabi for rebounds this season, averaging 7.2 and 5.2 per game respectively, with the team averaging 34.6 rebounds per game. While Maccabi did get 14 rebounds from Colson against Fenerbah\u00e7e last week and had a season-high 22 offensive rebounds, the battle under the basket will be a big challenge for them against the Catalonians, who themselves are averaging 37.9 rebounds per game, with five players \u2013 Oriol Paul, Jan Vesely (who will miss through injury, along with Rokas Jokibaitis and Michael Caicedo), Tomas Satoransky, Willy Hernangomez and Jabari Parker \u2013 averaging more than four rebounds per game.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_96468\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-96468\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_3629.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_3629.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_3629-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_3629-610x610.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_3629-440x440.jpeg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-96468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antonius Cleveland &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cKeeping them off the glass, defending as a team, just being locked in and helping each other out on defense,\u201d Maccabi guard Antonius Cleveland of the challenges which Barcelona present for Maccabi. \u201cFirst [we need to] get stops and run while doing the things we do best and play through one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarca is a great rebounding team and great defensive team, we need to play defense and keep them off the glass as much as possible,\u201d Maccabi forward James Webb III \u2013 himself averaging 6.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game \u2013 said of the key to winning the game. \u201cWe\u2019re third in scoring and second in assists so we have to just keep up our style of play, not get distracted and focus on what we do best \u2013 getting out and running in transition. We\u2019ll just fight and bring our energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While this season continues to challenge Maccabi for reasons out of their control \u2013 including playing without the energetic Yad Eliyahu crowd \u2013 Barcelona are not underestimating their opponents, being acutely aware of the challenge playing against a Maccabi team that loves to counterattack and score with pace from the defensive end of the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation is not easy for the Maccabi players, but they are all excellent players and they have found the way to get together,\u201d Barcelona coach Roger Grimau said. \u201cMaccabi has traditionally had rosters with American players who are athletic, intense and play fast. With the ball they can hurt you and they have big, mobile players.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_72197\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72197\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/C7341459-644C-41C7-A61E-7B64E4F9C3B2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-72197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/C7341459-644C-41C7-A61E-7B64E4F9C3B2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/C7341459-644C-41C7-A61E-7B64E4F9C3B2-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-72197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nicolas Laprovittola &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cIt will be a different game with no fans in the stands, you have to get ready for this kind of situations and winning, no matter what,\u201d Barcelona veteran guard Nico Laprovittola said. \u201cMaccabi has an athletic team, the league is athletic. Maccabi plays fast, faster than us, and they have players who are in a great moment right now. We will try to counter those. It\u2019s not easy to lose a player like Jan [Vesely], but we will do what we can to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every game is a must win game in the EuroLeague, but it would be a huge morale-boosting victory for Maccabi and their fans in Israel if they can get the W against a talented Barcelona team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to go onto the court with pride and the feeling of the crowd in our heart, find the right energies,\u201d Katash concluded. \u201cBarcelona is a quality team, if we make mistakes \u2013 we will be punished.
