Well, Lietuvos Rytas loss isn't really that surprising, cause as you may know Stelmahers didn't play. Rytas really missed him, his explosive 3pointers. That new guy acquired from ACB - Maurice Baker, looked pretty well. He's quick, got nice ball handling, but didn't show great ability to shoot the ball well from behind the arc or mid-range. He simply wasn't hittin the shots that much - only two times if I'm not wrong. Knowing that we missed Javtokas good game on the offensive end, he should have taken more shots if he really has good shooting. Maybe he just doesn't have great leadership abilities, who knows.. can't judge on only one game..

I was really surprised about Maccabi's loss, their best players really means a looot for them. Especially if that's a big fellow Nikola Vujcic. You know, it's always harder when you don't have a backbone under the basket... (Of course, Panathinakos loss either was unexpected. Though Lakovic continues to play well, he's having a great season, even better than previous probably)
And yeah, impressive shooting by Casey. Its both quantity and quality for Tau. Keeping in mind that Vitoria has more players that can step up and hit some big threes, you may assuredly say its the team with one of the best 3-point shooting in Euroleague now. Add David with Scola, and its almost certain they will be in the top4.
