The moment of truth is almost here for Greek Power Olympiacos. The Reds finished off Aris in the opening round of the Greek playoffs on May 2nd. They have since arrived in Paris, France for the bigger goal of capturing the Euroleague Title.
Olympiacos will play Partizan Belgrade of Serbia in the 2nd game of the Semifinals on Friday Night/Friday afternoon in the U.S on May 7th (Barcelona vs CSKA Moscow in the 1st). These are do or die, single shot contests with the losers meeting in a 3rd place game & the winners meeting in the final on Sunday.
