League Table after Week 19:

[Vilius]

Bilbao will probably not survive in the play-offs but if they did they'd have a chance to play in Euroleague. That is interesting.

[Black Urum]

It sure would be interesting. Do you think we'll see 2 Basque teams in Euroleague some day?

It could be possible. Money is a very important factor in ACB. Fighting with the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, TAU Ceramica, Joventut is a tough job and you need good players to defeat them.

No, everyone's ready. Only Pere Tomàs is in a bit of a doubt because of a flu.

Rudy Fernández revealed that this summer he'll decide about his future. He also said that he'll only go to the NBA if minutes and an important role are granted.

[Vilius]

I've read that Blazers' GM wants him in the team next season. Rudy Fernandez fits NBA style and could find a place there.

I agree. He's athletic, fast and a good shooter. And he likes to create showtime. The bad thing is if he doesn't get minutes or confidence and that's up to the coach...

Sad news for Spanish (and European) basketball. Sergio Luyk, son of former player Clifford Luyk, died today at 36 due to a cancer. Sergio played in Saint John's University, Valladolid, Real Madrid and Breogán Lugo where he retired in 2001.
