Barca executed better in the money time and deserved to win. We'll see them again in Spain.

maccabi performed very poor.i think it was obvious on players eyes that they can't win,a thing that usually excists in macabi's opponents.

Man what a game last night at Ipekci. I whas like other Galatasaray fans shaking. First i didn't understand the 3 pointer. I Heard it from the Turkish speaker, he said it can not be true, evereybody whas in shock. But after the 3 pointer and stand up as a team is epic. Second quarter we played epic. We outplayed Olympiakos with quality stuff. The ball movement whas quite hige. Referees did suck sometimes. They give cheap fouls. Cevher hit the big 3's he played good game. Jaka whas good. He directed the team very well. He did very good job on driving to basket. Keep it going. Savovic played good for his first Euroleague match. He did'nt even played 1 time with this team, and did getting minutes, did very well job. He has get in foul trouble and get little minutes but for his first match it whas good. 3 pointer he maked at the right time and the blok are in the memorys. He will be good. Shipp played 44 minutes,hard basketball. It doesn't matter if he scores. He playes good defence helps with rebounds etc. At Bornova he whas Turkish league scorer but Mahmuti wants that he plays defence. Some games he led us see that he can score in different ways too. Glad that Songaila has left the club. He did'nt feel the team, and the atmhosphere in the team. Who not feels goes. Thanks to him for his work.



Before the match i whas saying don't let them come back, but they did come back. It whas a fight on the court. We would the win, we deserved. Thanks to god we get it. Jamon Gordon whas big on overtime. This guy is a baller. Great defender and yesterday he would the win bad. He scored 6 points in overtime in different ways. He attacked the rim. He blocked Spanoulis at overtime. He is a ball stealer. He can do evertyhing. Elit player. Before the game i sayed he will be the man of the match, and he did. But what a atmhosphere it whas in Ipekci. And what a show it whas before the game. Great match. And i would day i'm proud to be Galatasaray fan. Firts time in Euroleague, we came from nothing, we plaeyed 3 qualifyinf rounds. Beating Rytas on them court at the last round. Getting in Euroleague. Galatasaray feels devotion. Played till the end against Bartcelona. Coming from down 20 points that match. The shots didn't go, but we played till the end. Against Siena it whas a thriller also. We did lose 2 times against Unics, but we could win them 2 times. We won 2 times against Prokom and Union. 2 Euroleague teams. We did get true to top 16 fist time in Euroleague. And now we did lost against Efes, we could get the win also, but on home we will win. And yesterday we won against a great euroleague team. No matter about Olypiakos roster, they did play great game against Cska. And now maybe we will make final 8. So for a team that playes first time Euroleague it is a very good story so far. And the name of the story is Galatasaray. The film is playing at Abdi Ipekci. The regiseur is Oktay Mahmuti. So far so good. And last thing that i would share before i end is this beatifeul picture from last night.







Thanks for reading.

I bet all Fener fans were ready to shit themselves when Fotsis was in the air in last second getting ready to shoot... anyway I'm happy Fener won.



As for PAO... UNICS is no toy, and they had warned that they come to OAKA for the win. Pashutin is a massively underrated coach. Congrats to them, they are now favourites #1 to win the group.

i was there and yea i gotta admit i snapped for a while <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

it wasnt our best play in fact the worst one i ever seen. players were stressed out. i guess mainly due to the opening.



hope we play better this week against pao. if we play like last week we definitely cant win.
