Articles are of no interest. I have my own thoughts, the reason God gave us our personal cognitive processes. I draw my own conclusions and that's that. I don't need stats or subjective articles to influence my thought process and perception. Games should be looked at individually, period!

Pana put up a decent fight today, but as I analyzed a few days ago, weren't up to the task. Their three point shooting was totally atrocious and let them down as it did in game 4. That's not good enough for a team of this calibre. The refs tried to take out DD by giving non-existent fouls against him early on. A poor and obvious effort by these fools. Barcas zone defence did nothing today relative to Pana's poor shooting. But this very poor team of Pana took it to 5 games, which also indicates how crappy Barcelona truly is when push comes to shove. They won't win the f4, in fact I'll send them a box of Kleenex for their effort!!

As for Oly, I have no doubts they ARE the superior team. They need to be on their toes as Turkish Airlines want a Turkish team in the f4, and the refereeing will definitely be biased against Oly. Home court advantage will see them through though, and without a doubt. They need to blast in there and finish this game off by the third period, and ultimately go defend their title in London. They have a good team, though vulnerable at position 5 which Hines can miraculously cover with all the injuries plagued by Oly's C's. Goodbye Efes!!

The English aren't the sharpest nation when it comes to BB, but when they fully understand the concept of BB they will realize that EL is far more suitable and tenfold more exciting than NBA. The only reason they sold out is good promotion from the Yanks, and not to mention TV coverage of your league. Don't rush your thoughts homie, let's see when both styles are on equal footing who ends up prevailing. In fact the English should thank their lucky stars that f4 is running for two consecutive years at O2.

As far as I'm concerned it's all about marketing of product, period! I want the NBA to disappear back to wherever the hell it came from, and certainly DO NOT want American NBA D-League and NCAA scrubs coming over to Europe. I don't give a rats ass how good the NBA is. It's a different style of basketball, that is not suited to the style of game we play. And it's boring boring boring!! I haven't watched NBA for years and the reasons are so obvious a child would understand. The Black mafia and their puppet 'Stern' can stay on it's own shores. They are not WANTED or WELCOMED on our continent.

The Euroleague should protect it's own interests and stop brown-nosing the NBA. That would be more than pathetic and irresponsible. Financial interests, product promotion, world wide telecasts, and expansionism should be the EL's prime objective! We need to get to England and show them that our game is far superior in many respects to theirs. The f4 in England is an absolute promotion for the EL. Remember the NBA is NOT our friend, and that equates to mocking our style of BB, it's players, and many of our nations that play it!! Theo you haven't thought it out right homeboy. Try again my friend..

Oly choked.. No excuses.. if you can't guard an American scrub like Lucas you shouldn't be playing, not to mention his height.. They will prevail at home. The Turks don't have the fortitude for this game.. Besides a final 4 without a Greek team is like bread without butter!!

Pana is in a world of hurt.. I don't see them going to London unfortunately. They should've wrapped up the 4th game in Athens.. but they blew it.. they have a miniscule chance of beating the Spaniards, unless a miracle is in the making.. then again I could be wrong..

My sentiments exactly. The difference being is, I want a foreign coach to take over the reins of the NT. Why? Politics that's why. Sick tired of their bullshit period.

Our U20's just got hammered again. I don't know what the fuNk is going on with these players, but to finish in a top 8 then get hammered by 30+ from a Lithuanian team, leaves a lot to be desired. Obviously someone's not doing their job right.

Since I don't know who these players are, is anyone worth mentioning from this sorry ass crop? Anyone?? I think were
going from bad to worse. And what about the team we sent to Australia recently, a so called Greek 'B' team that got hammered by 40+ in some of the friendlies, is a total disgrace. What the hell is going on? Was it a geriatric 'B' team maybe? We have a serious problem, and it's not funding or some bullshit like that, but talent.. I'm appalled..

Let's see how the U16's progress. If they do!!!..
