Joventut are on fire!
They beat Real Madrid away 93-101 and established a new 3-pointer record in a game: 18 (out of 31 = 58% <!-- s -->[img]{SMILIES_PATH}/ohmy.gif[/img]<!-- s -->).
Rudy Fernández alone scored 8/11 from downtown and Mallet 5/6. Rubio had 19 points in 19 minutes, what a wunderkind!

The classic Real Madrid vs Barcelona was played on Saturday, interesting game, although it lost intensity quite quickly. The 1st period and a part of the 2nd were quite enjoyable, the game was tight and Vázquez and ?lyasova were a pleasure for the eye. As he has been showing since some time, Vázquez is capable of being red hot for some period and then disappear completely; that's precisely what happened. He dunked, blocked shots and rebounded fiercely, but then calmed down. If only he could mantain such a display for longer periods of time... It seems now ?lyasova is getting more "relaxed" and showing his game, I really enjoyed seeing him play, he seemed so lose and ready to play.
As for the 2nd half, well it was just to relax and enjoy Raül López's 3-pointers (and rebounds (!)), he was the key figure and deservedly the man of the game. He helped lift Real Madrid so Barça couldn't catch them anymore. Marconato is clearly a bench player now, his weaknesses could previously hide behind his youth and speed but now they are just too clear and he's just too slow.
And Marc Gasol made it, 10 MVP awards this season, matching Sabonis's record. Will he pass it? Two more rounds to attempt that. It's remarkable for a player that some time ago was just another player.

He's making history. I am also surprised with his progress this season. He seems to be working hard on his game.

Bilbao's Marcelinho Huertas (1st place) and Joventut's Ricky Rubio (2nd place) were voted guards of the season by journalists, fans, coaches and players. Rubio became the youngest player in ACB history to make part of the league's ideal 5. The next three players of the ideal 5 will become public soon.

One more player for this season's ideal 5: Joventut's Rudy Fernández was voted small forward of the season. Real Madrid's Louis Bullock came 2nd and Valladolid's Joseph Gomis 3rd (is he actually a forward I wonder <!-- s -->[img]{SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif[/img]<!-- s -->)

The two final players of the ideal 5 were revealed today: Girona's Marc Gasol and Real Madrid's Felipe Reyes became the best centres of the season (one centre and one power forward I'd say) as voted by journalists, players, coaches and fans. TAU's Thiago Splitter came 3rd.
So, this season's ideal lineup consists of:
G - Marcelinho Huertas
G - Ricky Rubio
F - Rudy Fernández
F - Felipe Reyes
C - Marc Gasol
I guess that's the first time so many Spanish players make up a season's best roster right? It just proves Spanish basketball is powerful as never before.
Meanwhile, Granada signed Pops Mensah-Bonsu from Benetton Treviso and waived Olumide Oyedeji.

And the 2007-08 MVP is... Marc Gasol!
He had an outstanding season, leading the league in rebounds and FG%, coming second in blocks and fourth in scoring. He was also named MVP 11 times throughout the season, a record.
Rudy Fernández came second in the voting and Ricky Rubio third.

A "close shave" <!-- s -->[img]{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif[/img]<!-- s --> [url="http://http"]Joventut 90 Barcelona 93[/url]
I was expecting Joventut to win this one (I was actually rooting for them), now things get complicated, I don't think Joventut will be able to beat Barça at Sant Jordi.
