PAO began with a convincing win despite all the problems we had 'till now!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />
PAO had 6 players with over 10 ranking(!!!!!) and 3 of them(DD, Sato, Kaimakoglou) had over 20!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I saw almost the hole game between Partizan and EFES and I have to say that Partizan lost because they had Pekovic out for 15 minutes without him having foul trouble! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
In these 15 minutes EFES reached a +20 lead...
When Peko checked in, this difference reduced...
Huge win for Milano against Euroleague's finalist Maccabi!
Eliyahu and Papaloukas were the best for Maccabi and Hairston with Gallinari were awesome for Milano!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' /> Bourousis was very good also! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />

Next time! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
This was waaay to much this time. We saw 15 minutes of great offenses on both sides, then end of 2nd Q and the whole 3rd, reffs called every little thing they could, totally changing the criteria. In that, Efes played much better, cause no contact were allowed, and they killed us in easy baskets and slow game.
In the end, Pekovic 5 fouls, Raduljica also, and Katic 3. Never saw all 3 centers to be in foul-trouble. Reffs totally destroyed the game in the end.
Partizan had +7, and then criteria changed for 180! I would like an honest oppinion on this!
Congrats to Efes, excellent play!

I think refs favored EFES in the 3rdQ but I think, easy or not, EFES would win this game.
They had Savanovic, Kinsey and Ilyasova that had a great game(especially the first two)!
Despite having refs allow them to play, occasionally, anti-sportive defense <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' /> , EFES indeed played very good defense espexially in the second half and more especially in the 3rdQ. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />
Fair winners!
I would like to see though, Pekovic, play more than just 20 minutes. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Could anyone tell me, why Pekovic is on the bench for such a long time?!?!?! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />

On the beginning of third quarter Pekovic made fourth foul <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> And Raduljica has three.So coach call it for Katic who is third center.

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought he had two and I was wondering, why is he out for such a long time?! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Caja Laboral not the same shooting team as was last year <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Mirsad and Marko Tomas are both out injured on Fenerbahce side.
Vidmar is still in recovery.
All are important players for the team.
I think we are going to get better once they are back.
About the fans, we were playing at Sinan Erdem Sports Arena last year. Easy access.
However we played this one at Abdi İpekçi. In the middle of nowhere.
Good news is we are going to move to a new court by the end of this year i think. 12500 seats and im sure its gona be full.

the plans revised couple of times actually. so im not sure about the capacity. over 10.000 for sure.
opening date is december.
Very bad performance by Olympiacos and very good performance by Bilbao.
It's obvious that OLY's potentials are very low. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
They depend a lot on Spanoulis and when Spanoulis is not that good(like tonight) there is no way they win a big game... <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

That Sofo and Papaloukas combo with the finishing dunk on Bouroussis was MAD. Unsurprising Yannis ISN'T jumping as high as he was in last year's ESAKE Greek basketball finals <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl3.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Great win for Bilbao tonight. Katsikaris can do no wrong. From an ACB finalist, he's built a formidable Euroleague team. I hope they reach deep into the tournament <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

langford to tel aviv!lets see if something will change...
i think blatt doesn't have good chemistry at guards position.bring perkis back,put farmar on ''2''.farmar was disapointing at milano..
I agree. Perkins would be a massive boost for Maccabi.
maccabi is not so ''bad'' in the guards.they need power and good legs.perkins would be the perfect fit.and they are very slow this year.no alan anderson no pargo...slow team
they need to be tougher.to be maccabi!and farmar is more a ''2'' guard for the el.
Perkins is still injured so he's not an option right now, I believe the addition of Langford should be enough to make this team a legit F4 team.
