The first game will be held next Thursday, February 15th, at Nokia arena against Tau.  The full schedule of Maccabi:  15\/2 \u2013 vs Tau Vitoria 22\/2 \u2013 at Roma 1\/3 \u2013 vs Orthez 7\/3 \u2013 at Tau Vitoria 15\/3 \u2013 at Orthez 22\/3 \u2013 vs Roma Neven Spahija: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t expect anything special, because that&#8217;s the Top 16 and there are no weak teams. What&#8217;s interesting in our group is that it&#8217;s a very Croatian group \u2013 me, Jasmin Repesa and Velimir Perasovic are all from Croatia. We have to be strong already in the first game next week, because Tau will arrive to Tel Aviv. Tau is a very strong and deep team. They had some problems with injuries lately but they knew how to handle them very well. Pau is the only team that beat CSKA so it&#8217;s obvious no one can underestimate them. Roma is getting better and better and it won&#8217;t be easy against them, either&#8221;. Assistant coach Guy Goodes: \u201cit\u2019s a reasonable group, we should qualify. We\u2019ll do the best to finish first, because it will be a very hard task to beat CSKA Moscow at the quarter-finals without the home advantage, assuming they will finish first at group E\u201d.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi&#8217;s first game: at home against Tau Vitoria on February 15th<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"custom_author":[],"class_list":["post-26409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26409"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":493956,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26409\/revisions\/493956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26409"},{"taxonomy":"custom_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/custom_author?post=26409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
