I don't have enough time for in-depth analysis writing so I will be short today on the semifinals.

Spain - Greece

Spain should be well rested and confident after 3 perfect games in a row. I like Spain defense at this moment and I expect them to start from it once again.

Greece should be tired physically and emotionally after lucky win over Turkey yesterday. Offensively Greece should experience problems because they will not any domination inside the pain while Spanoulis is their only man on fire from the guards line. He will be defended really hard today by Spain guards.

Yesterday we have not seen under and underdogs winning and I think tonight we must see at least one over and at one odds favorite failure. But tonight I am planning just to enjoy basketball and watch games without bets. I think it is very hard to predict the pshylogical factor in these derby-type games.

Greece - Turkey

Public like Greece because of their strong start at Eurobasket but let me remind that Group A and B are much weaker than C & D. And looking into last 2 games of Greece against good defensive teams France and Russia I can't say that they are favorites in this matchup with very strong Turkey.

Washington Mystics - Indiana Fever

Preview

Indiana Fever won all 4 season meetings against Washington Mystics and owns 9-1  record in last 10 games between these clubs

The Indiana Fever looked like obvious Eastern Conference favorites for most of the regular season. Going into the playoffs, they look more like the walking wounded. A number of injuries to key players will be a primary concern for the top-seeded but reeling Fever as they open the postseason on the road Thursday night against the Washington Mystics, who could also be dealing with a weakened top scorer as they try for their first playoff victory in five years.
