It is one of the best picks in the Euroleague playoff for me. Milano is playing very good basketball lately. They are destroying opponents with very good defense and fast transition and smart selections of shots. Before the season they were not favorites for Euroleague's final 4 or even title, but from game to game they are showing good player selection and good coaching.
On the other side, Bayern made the nicest surprise this season with 5th place in the regular season. They have a very good coach and we can really respect what he managed with such a roster. They are underdogs in this series and I don't believe they can surprise Milano, maybe they can still one 1 win, but that's it.
In the first game, I expect aggressive Milano from the first minute and winning this match in double digits. Milano has all players available (even Hines is back). Evans is a great addition and healthy Shields big plus for a team.
