Euroleague Picture Report: ALBA Berlin – TAU Vitoria
The press conference after the Euroleague game brought nothing special, as there was only one question from the about 20 journalists in the room. Luka Pavicevic explained that the decisive game for ALBA would be in Badalona, where they need to win to qualify for the Top 16. He also translated Dusko Ivanovic’s words into […]

Short Monday's cigarettes
The first phase of the Euroleague regular season is over. So here we go for the next phase and how could you better start than with a good amount of smoking cigarettes? The story of the week may be the following. You remember probably the canceled Bundesliga game of Ludwigsburg versus Giessen two weeks ago: […]
Yarone's Weekend Joints – part I
Probably the best thing would be to start with an apology for the delay, and get this out of the way. I’d like to thank the academy and blame Chris for the delay, not because it’s really his fault, but just because it’s fun to blame him on everything. Give it a try… Week 5 […]
NIKEiD Fantasy Challenge: Now what?
Currently, it looks like a lot of decisions have been made in the Euroleague fantasy league. The time to gain sure credits is nearly over, and only a few players are still available at reasonable prices to give you good credit boosts. I’m thinking here mainly about players like Mirza Begic (49 credits) or Sergio […]

KK Split and Cibona Zagreb met this weekend in the Adriatic League. And the least we […]

During a secret meeting between two American investors, Henry Feinberg (shareholder of Technology Crossover Ventures) and partner Steven M. Julius (president of Workplace Solutions), it was […]
Yarone's weekend Joints
Lots of three-ball action took place this week. Some went in with great accuracy. Others will have to pay for the rim damage. Lazos, Erceg and Childress are the most overpaid players of this week, the double OT in Istanbul had two sides, Spencer caught up, Nancy made history, Jennings made us proud, and one […]
Euroleague: Alternative analysis of Group C (a.k.a. the Heavy Metal Division)
So today I’ll start a first analysis of the different Euroleague groups, though this won’t be the classical analysis as you’ll see. Let’s start with Group C, which I call the Heavy Metal Division. It was quite easy to make this choice, if you have a team from a city named after an avant-garde band, […]
Short Monday's cigarettes
Not too much to tell you this morning, unfortunately… Evin Demirel writes a detailed report about the beginning of the new Euro-duo (Rudy Fernandez and Nicolas Batum) in Portland. Paul Pierce told journalists of Eleftheros Tipos that he’s thinking about ending his career in Greece (found via The Hoop). Italian TV commentator and coaching legend […]
