Well the Cup tips off today in Madrid and I guess it deserves a thread. What's your opinion, who's going to lift the trophy?

Spanish animals! Not even one tiny little buffer zone? Nothing? Not a fight? No objects thrown on players' heads?

Bilbao Basket was robbed of a win... refs wrongly cancelled a Vasileiades threepointer.

Barcelona played very good and they deserved the win. But if the players think that they will everything this year, it could be very bad for them because they could lose more games. But I think that they will hold there feet on the ground
