Is there more to play for?
On the picture of the chances of Maccabi Tel Aviv and its rivals for the playoffs
It looks like 18 or even 19 wins will be needed for the Euroleague teams to screw up in the top eight.
Just before the Yellows returned to the floor, we analyzed their situation, and came out more pessimistic than ever.
Will the audience in the hall help work a miracle?

Barcelona's 93: 103 Summary over Malaga (Sport 1)
23 days ago, Maccabi Tel Aviv advanced to its last Euroleague game, and only tonight (Thursday, 21:45, live broadcast on Sport5), after missing two rounds, will it return to activity at the factory when it is hosted in Milan.
The Yellows hope and believe that they have not yet missed the train to the playoffs, and just before their return we analyzed its chances against its rivals on the ticket to the next stage - based on an estimate that it will take at least 18 wins to reach the top eight, with the number rising to 19.

Ettore Messina praises Maccabi Tel Aviv: "She is better than her balance sheet shows"

Bayern Munich
Balance 9:15
0: 1 over Maccabi, hosts it in Munich next week The
surprise of the season in the Euroleague should win between three and four games out of ten.
Bayern will meet only three teams that have lost a chance, real or practical, to advance to the playoffs, and no less than six direct rivals on the ticket or position, with the tenth team being the leader of Barcelona in the last round.
A victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv next week may be the one to call her the ticket to the next stage.
On the face of it, the Bavarians' board is not simple, but assuming they do not lose more than one game against the comfortable rivals, they will have to achieve two victories out of six against the others, with most of them hosting.
Her place in the playoffs is almost guaranteed.
Fenerbahce
Balance 10:14
0: 2 over Maccabi
Fenerbahce holds nine consecutive victories, and another four or five will be enough for it to complete the task.
Of the ten games she has left, she will face doubles from the bottom only twice, and it is not inconceivable that Olympiacos will join them as someone who will lose interest by then.
Apart from Maccabi Tel Aviv and Basconia, over whom it has an advantage in the direct battle, Fener is at a disadvantage against Valencia and Zalgiris Kaunas, but its great momentum should make this question irrelevant.
The playoff ticket has not yet been promised, but only a collapse will take it away from her.

Zenit St. Petersburg
Balance 9:13
0: 1 over Maccabi, which will reach Russia later
also to Zenit St. Petersburg, as for Maccabi Tel Aviv, 12 games remain due to the postponement of previous meetings.
Nine of those 12 games will be played at home, and five against teams that have lost a realistic chance of advancing a stage.
Zenit has a victory over Maccabi in Tel Aviv, and the game between them will probably be its last this season, and perhaps also critical for both of them.
Until March 4, Zenit will appear in a five-game blitz, and if they win at least two of them, they will be in a great starting position to enter the playoffs.
Anadolu Zero
Balance 10:13
0: 1 over Maccabi, will arrive in Tel Aviv next month The
recovering Anadolu Zero has 11 more games, only four of them at home, and it will meet only one team that has already practically finished the season (Panathinaikos).
On the face of it, this is a very difficult task, but the board of zero in the near future is relatively reasonable: it will host Olympiacos and Valencia, games that it is supposed to win on the face of it, and if it reaches the game against CSKA Moscow with two more victories, it seems Her ticket will be pretty guaranteed.
Anadolu is also in a much better starting position than Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Zalgiris Kaunas
Balance 10:13
1: 0 against Maccabi, will meet later in Kaunas
like Anadolu, Zalgiris also needs 6-5 victories from 11 games, but she has six home games left, and four against rivals who finished the season.
Zalgiris, who started the season excellently and weakened later, knows that in the near future there are two games she simply must not lose - the red star Wheelerban at home.
If she passes both, she will reach the final rounds, where her sequence of games is relatively comfortable, in good shape.
Otherwise, it will be required to surprise Barcelona, Real Madrid, Zero or Fenerbahce away.
Valencia
Balance 12:12
0: 1 over Maccabi, you will reach Tel Aviv later
we will move to the less realistic side of the equation.
Six or seven wins from ten games need Valencia to do that, and it will face only two rivals who have already finished the season.
It seems that Valencia's season, which has lost six of its last eight games, will be decided in the next two games: if it manages to beat Real at home and Zenit away, it will reach the double round in Turkey and Israel while it is still alive.
If you lose in those two games, the story is over for her.
Will the victory from the previous round be decisive?

Basconia
Balance 13:11
1: 0 against Maccabi, and it will reach Tel Aviv
seven or eight wins from ten games - that is probably enough to understand that Basconia lost a chance.
What may keep her alive is the upcoming game sequence.
On the face of it, the Basques come in as favorites for the next three games (the first of which tonight at Moscow Khimki), if they win them all they will find themselves in a positive balance, seven rounds to the end of the season, with a tough streak of games ahead.
Even then, she probably won’t be able to make her season, but at least she will be in the picture.
Olympiacos
Balance 13:11
0: 2 over Maccabi
Since the impressive dramatic victory in overtime at Yad Eliyahu, after which Olympiacos looked like they were on their way to the playoffs, they have fallen with five losses in six games.
After the home loss to cheer Katsch and Pao in the derby, her task seems on the verge of impossible: seven or eight wins from ten games will be required for her to get into the top eight.
Although the Reds have three more games against teams that have finished the season, in the next three games they will meet Zero, CSKA and Basconia away. If they do not miraculously achieve two wins out of the three, their situation will be lost.
Needs no less than a miracle.

Maccabi Tel Aviv
Balance 12:10
Eight or nine wins out of 12 games, six home games out of 12, and three games against teams that finished the season.
The problem for Maccabi Tel Aviv starts with the fact that many teams that enter the playoffs will probably reach 19 victories, and it will probably be able to catch up with only two of them in the internal balance (zero and zenith).
After the next two away games, Maccabi will know exactly what their situation is: if they win in Milan or Munich, they will stay alive - and on condition that they keep the house.
Is it possible?
Weak teams from CSKA, Barcelona and Zero have already won this season at Yad Eliyahu, but the crowd may return soon and may have a big impact.
