THE TAKE

A pair of Top 16, Week 1 winners will square off in the Russian capital on Wednesday when reigning champion CSKA Moscow hosts Cibona Zagreb. CSKA started the Top 16 in style last week by blasting Fenerbahce Ulker 48-66 behind 14 points from Ramunas Siskauskas and a double-double by Terrence Morris. Meanwhile Cibona topped Montepaschi Siena 88-81 as Earl Calloway recorded a season-high 23 points and Davor Kus scored all of his 18 points in the second half. Now head coach Velimir Perasovic’s men will face the ultimate test in trying to improve to 2-0 against one of the best teams in the world. A further disadvantage for the visitors is the fact that CSKA guard Zoran Planinic is a former Cibona player and a former teammate of several of the clubs top players, a fact that will help prepare head coach Ettore Messina’s charges for the contest. Planinic is a key part of the CSKA backcourt that also features J.R. Holden, Trajan Langdon and Nikos Zisis as well as Siskauskas at small forward. Cibona counters with Calloway, Kus and Anderson starting, while guard Robert Troha and small forwards Vedran Vukusic and Marin Rozic come off the bench, allowing Anderson to shift to shooting guard. In the paint, the visitors have many options with Jared Homan, Niksa Prkacin, Bruno Sundov and Luksa Andric offering plenty of different skills. Prkacin’s savvy and versatility may make him the man to line up against Matjaz Smodis, while Sundov has the size to face Erazem Lorbek, Homan the strength to challenge Viktor Khryapa and Andric the speed and mobility to guard Morris. Only one this season has Cibona won a game in which it failed to score 80 points and only twice this season has CSKA’s vaunted defense allowed a team more than 70. Accordingly, the key to the game sits with Cibona’s perimeter men and how well Calloway and Kus can push the ball up the court and create for themselves and others. If the hosts are able to control the tempo and corral the Cibona attack, it could be another long night for the visitors, who have lost four straight road games and are 2-17 away from home over the past three Euroleague seasons. GAME NOTES CSKA Moscow Guard Zoran Planinic will face his former team this week for the first time. Planinic grew up in the Cibona youth and played three seasons as a professional at the club between 200 and 2003. During that time he helped the club with two Croatian League championships and two Croatian Cups. Among the current Cibona players that Planinic played alongside are Davor Kus, Niksa Prkacin and Branimir Longin. Planinic played under current Cibona head coach Velimir Perasovic at Tau Ceramica during the 2006-07 season, before Perasovic resigned due to health issues. Reigning Euroleague MVP Ramunas Siskauskas recorded up the 100th steal in his Euroleague Basketball career last week at Fenerbahce Ulker. Center Erazem Lorbek is 1 steal away from reaching 100 for his Euroleague careers. Lorbek recorded the first of his two Euroleague career double-doubles at Cibona in January 2005. Lorbek, then with Fortitudo Bologna, had 13 points and 12 rebounds in an 89-96 overtime win. Guard J.R. Holden scored a Euroleague career-high 29 points against Cibona in his rookie season. Holden, then with AEK Athens, led AEK to an 89-90 road win in Zagreb in February 2002. Current Cibona players Davor Kus and Niksa Prkacin started for Cibona and Branimir Longin came off the bench in the game. Current CSKA teammate Nikos Zisis was Holden’s backup in that game. Holden matched that career high in points once the next season with CSKA. CSKA has lost its last two home games. CSKA has not lost three home games in a season since the 2001-02 season when it lost 4. And it has not dropped three in a row at home in over 20 years. Cibona Guard Earl Calloway has scored in double figures in 10 straight games, averaging 16.3 points per game over that span. Last week’s 23 points marked the second week in a row that he improved his season high. Cibona has lost four straight road games and is 2-17 away from home over the past three Euroleague seasons. Center Niksa Prkacin is on pace for the best shooting season of his lengthy Euroleague career. Prkacin has made 43 of 72 two-point shots (59.7%) so far, which is slightly more than his 59.1% for Efes Pilsen in the 2006-07 season. Guard Davor Kus is averaging more than twice as many points per game at home this season (16.6 ppg.) as on the road (8 ppg.). He is shooting 48.1% from downtown at home compared to 21% on the road. Swingman Alan Anderson has scored in double figures and grabbed a steal in five straight Euroleague games going back to last season, including a 19-point, 3-steal effort against CSKA last season when he played for Virtus Bologna.

Quotes Head Coaches

MESSINA, ETTORE CSKA Moscow "We started the Top 16 well, but Cibona also started with the good win against Siena. We also remember that we lost our two previous Euroleague home games so we have to step up, to show our energy and concentration and to use better what we call our home-court advantage. It is obvious for everyone in the basketball world that defense and rebounding are the most important factors for winning the game. But I stay optimistic, because the team has practiced well and we hope to have both Smodis and Vorontsevich ready for the game against Cibona."

PERASOVIC, VELIMIR Cibona "There is not much to say before the game in Moscow - we are going to play with the European champion, the team that has lost just two games this season and those two games were not really important to them. When CSKA enters the Top 16 it looks like they start playing in higher gear. The fact that they allowed Fenerbahce just 48 points in Istanbul says a lot. There are two or three high quality players in each position and they are incredibly difficult to defend. But, this does not mean we are going to Moscow as tourists or to surrender before the game starts. We have shown that we can win against anyone if we find a way to play our game."

Players

PLANINIC, ZORAN CSKA Moscow "I have never played against my former team and I cannot imagine what it will be like. But for sure I am very glad to see my good friends from Cibona one extra time and I am anxious to come to Zagreb in the second leg. Cibona has played very well this season. They play tough defense. They like to score from the perimeter. They use the experience and passing abilities of Niksa Prkacin, who plays like a playmaker inside most of the time. And they have very good coach in Velimir Perasovic, a tough coach, but a great motivator."

The most important thing is that we play defense on the level which brought all of the victories at the beginning of the season. CSKA looked really strong in Istanbul in the first game, but it is worth going there and fight - maybe something nice can happen."

In a Wednesday battle of Top 16 Week 1 winners, reigning Euroleague champion CSKA Moscow downed Cibona 87-61 to take sole possession of the top spot in Group H. Cibona dropped to 1-1 and will share second with the winner of the night’s other Group H feature between Montepaschi Siena and Fenerbahce Ulker. Trajan Langdon drilled 4 triples on his way to a game-high 18 points for CSKA, while Ramunas Siskauskas and reserve Nikos Zisis chipped in with 14 points apiece for the winners. Three other scorers had 9 points each for the champs. After CSKA earned a 42-30 halftime lead, mainly thanks to a 19-10 advantage on the glass, Cibona worked hard to stay in the game and was only down by 7 points late in the third quarter. But the hosts finished it with a 9-0 run and the guests ran out of gas in the final 10 minutes. Alan Anderson led Cibona with 15 points, and Nikola Prkacin made CSKA frontline work hard as he scored 10 points and drew 6 fouls for the visitors from Croatia. CSKA's big men grabbed a pair of offensive rebounds on the first possession, giving Siskauskas a chance to open the scoring before he came through with a put-back the next time CSKA attacked. Bruno Sundov made a put-back of his own at the other end, but Langdon found an open Terrence Morris for a three off an inbounds play and then Morris added a long two-pointer for a 9-2 CSKA lead. After Viktor Khryapa matched Luksa Andric's layup with 2 free throws, Morris earned applause with a huge block on a driving Anderson. Zisis entered the game for CSKA and needed only seconds to hit his first shot of the night for a 13-4 advantage for the hosts. Robert Troha made Cibona's first triple, as the visitors switched to zone on defense, but CSKA moved the ball all the way to an open Matjaz Smodis in the corner and the captain hit the long shot to make it 18-9. Cibona adjusted its offense to look more and more after Prkacin, who used his strength to draw 5 fouls in the first quarter, which ended at 21-13. Lorbek started the second quarter by splitting free throws, Khryapa grabbed the rebound off his miss and Lorbek used the new opportunity to score a bucket inside. Andric made 2 free throws at the other end and Cibona tried the zone again, but Langdon, Zisis and Khryapa punished the guests with 8 quick points to expand the difference to 32-19. Though Cibona switched back to man-to-man defense after a timeout, Zisis was ready with another long two-pointer off the dribble and Langdon copied him to make it 37-19. Siskaukas capped a 10-0 surge with 2 free throws and now CSKA had more than twice as many points as Cibona at 39-19. But the visitors managed to find their rhythm again as Marin Rozic made a three-point play and Anderson stepped up with a fade-away and a triple off a screen to cut it to 40-30. Langdon dribbled all the way in for a layup to make it 42-30 at halftime. Prkacin opened the third quarter with a characteristic left hook off a Vedran Vukusic assist and then Vukusic converted a Cibona fastbreak to trim the margin to 42-34. Though Siskauskas made free throws on the other end, Prkacin kept giving CSKA head coach Ettore Messina headaches as he drew Morris's third foul and scored the free throws too. Khryapa split his free throws and fed Langdon for an open baseline jumper, and seconds later J.R. Holden found Langdon almost on the same spot, but now behind the three-point line, to make it 50-36. Anderson scored 5 straight points as he stole the ball to draw an unsportsmanlike foul and then drilled a tough triple over Langdon. But Morris and Holden answered with a basket each to keep Cibona at distance, 54-41. Cibona kept driving and attacking the basket to organize a 2-8 spurt and cut it to 56-49. Smodis used his aggressive style to earn 4 points and help CSKA stay in control. Holden stole the ball and nailed the three at the third-quarter buzzer, and the scoreboard showed 65-49. Zisis made a corner-triple for the first points of the final quarter. Anderson used a crossover dribble to beat Smodis with a jumpshot, while Siskauskas found space for a layup to make it 70-51. Cibona head coach Velimir Perasovic tried to turn the game around with a small lineup, but CSKA defended its advantage and with three-and-a-half minutes left, it was 74-55. Holden found Langdon for his favorite off the screen shot from behind the arc, and the Moscow crowd started celebrating the win and the lead in Group H. Wednesday, February 04, 2009 Euroleague.net

Head Coaches

MESSINA, ETTORE CSKA Moscow "We played a good team game. Everyone who went onto the court contributed. You know that Cibona won against Montepaschi and the team has some good big men and a dangerous point guard. So we had all the respect for our opponent. We played well defensively, but what is more important is that we moved the ball well on the other side of the court. The team has improved a lot in ball movement and I think now we are close to our best at this."

PERASOVIC, VELIMIR Cibona "We came here knowing that it is difficult to win in Moscow. And if you think like that you cannot hope to defeat one of the biggest favorites to win the Euroleague. I am disappointed with the team's attitude in the fourth quarter. When you are making a run and you find yourself down by 7, you should play more aggressive, more confident. But we stopped playing. From the other side CSKA played good defense, scored easy baskets and got the deserved win. I do not consider this loss too serious. Who can win against CSKA here? Yes, the point difference was big and if you look at our game in the second and third quarters, you cannot say that it was deserved. But if you look at the fourth quarter… We played bad defense, too lazy, with almost no help. The CSKA big men were faster than ours and created a lot of open shots for the hosts."
