Maccabi Tel Aviv did not make the adjustments to the Corona season in the Euroleague • The lack of creativity, the excessive credit to Wilbkin and the push of Dorsey aside cost her dearly • That is why she will look enviously tonight at Valencia, which made a switch
Scotty Weibelkin in front of CSKA. Will he be able to fix tonight in the hall?

Tonight's game tonight between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Valencia at Yad Eliyahu was supposed to be a direct battle between two teams trying to make it to the Euroleague playoffs. She practically closed it to her
For Maccabi Tel Aviv it looks like the first game of the rest of the season that was lost. Corona season, where the question is not only who is better, but also who will know how to deal with the complexity of the matter. In the case of the Yellows it is divided into two: the score on organization and logistics is Excellent. The score on the professional side - failed.
There will also be a lot of talk about the mistakes that were made in building the team and its conduct on the floor, but beyond net basketball, in dealing with the special period, the coach and the players did not change phase.
The various excuses - "no crowd, no atmosphere", uncomfortable conditions, many changes, a changing schedule - are the property of all the teams. In the long run it was necessary to adapt and be creative, but Maccabi did not know how to do that.
It's no secret that Tyler Dorsey is an unstable player.
He flickers once every few games - so it was against CSKA yesterday - and then disappears. But that is not the only reason for the Guard's mediocre season. He does not seem to have received enough credit. It is not just minutes, but instead of a five, the team for important league games and back Even when he does not go, if he had received half of what Scotty Wilbkin gets, it is possible that Maccabi would have taken much more out of Dorsey.
On Tuesday we again saw the exaggerated belief of Yannis Sapropoulos in Wilbkin.
One can go with your planet, but one can also say so far.
If Wilbkin hadn't been on the pitch in a comeback, he shouldn't have been a moneylender either.
You could have tried something else.
3 As mentioned, Valencia is strong in the playoff picture.
For her it would be not only a historic rise to the top eight in the Euroleague, but also a tackle on a glass ceiling.
Until this season she is as a "Eurocup champion", who had a hard time on the main Euroleague stage.
To change that she upgraded, to prove that Spanish basketball is beyond Barcelona and Real Madrid and sometimes in Ascona.
For that to have a final stamp, it must complete the mission and sneak into the playoffs.
