Yes, it is time for spectacle number 3 as Partizan mt:s will host Crvena Zvezda Diva in Game 3 of Serbian Super league final series.

At this moment both teams have reached one win on home courts, actually they have same home court, Pionir Arena. So, we may say both teams reached wins when their supporters were at the most.

According to some rules, to avoid possible incidents, Serbian Basketball Federation allow only home team supporters when Partizan mt:s and Crvena Zvezda Diva play.

Today, at 20.00 CET, Partizan mt:s is home team, so they will have crowded Pionir Arena with their supporters and it is expected that they will be their sixth player.

However, after win in Game 2, Crvena Zvezda Diva players are full of self-confidence, so I am sure that we can expect another one great game.

Partizan mt:s have quite problems with roster since Rasko Katic due illness missed final series from the beginning, and now it seems that they lost Dominic James at least for this Game 3.

He got injured in Game 2, and even it is still unclear situation, according to medias in Serbia, he will miss Game 3.

Coach Svetislav Pesic said: “All we know what is score after two games. Partizan mt:s is under pressure and they must win. They will have great support of their fans. We are not under pressure, we proved that we can play and win Partizan mt:s.”

He continues: “We did a great job in this season, and now we know which players may play in future and bring trophies.”

Vlada Jovanovic said: “We didn’t have energy in Game 2, and it is crucial in final series. Approach to the game and concentration in all 40 minutes are way to win.”

Really looking forward to watch this game, and if you ask me, Partizan mt:s will have big problems if Crvena Zvezda Diva press them hard on full court from the beginning.

It is obvious that Partizan mt:s have problems on aggressive defense, so I believe that this could be a key for this game. Big pressure will be on team captain Petar Bozic, if Dominic James miss this game.
