Cluj's first EuroCup result looked ugly, but this is a different rotation. Plavšić and Livingston returned for the win at Vienna, giving Smart help inside and on the ball. That fuller attack makes the Roma score a poor guide to this matchup. Venezia's strong start deserves respect, yet its Frankfurt romp came with an unusually hot night from deep.

Cluj's 0-1 Eurocup start looks far worse than the team Venezia will actually face. That 55-89 loss in Rome came without their starting point guard, and before their new center had played a single game. With both back, Cluj looked like a different side in their next outing. That gap between the scoreline and the team on the floor is what this slip is about.
