AS Monaco (3-3) faces  CSKA (4-2) tonight in the Principality. Or we can say that Mike James faces Dimitris Itoudis, with the two men having a bad relationship since they worked alongside each other at CSKA. That, after all, is the reason why the American guard left Moscow mid-season last year. Zvezdan Mitrovic’s team made… Continue Reading »

A game of great importance will take place tonight in Faliro between Olympiacos (4-2) and Fenerbahce (2-4). On the one hand, the “Red and Whites” of Olympiakos want to keep an undefeated record at home.  On the other, the Turks want to raise their head again after suffering two consecutive defeats by Real and Barcelona…. Continue Reading »

The smiles return in the faces of the people of Maccabi (4-2), as the team of coach Sfairopoulos counts three consecutive wins in the Euroleague (Villeurbanne on the road, Panathinaikos and Zalgiris at home). In the last game against the Lithuanians of Zalgiris (76-62), Derrick Williams (17 points, 7 rebounds), Nunnally (15 points), Zizic (14… Continue Reading »

Last week, Panathinaikos (1-4) found themselves losing 64-44 to Maccabi after 32 minutes of play in Tel Aviv. The Greens played something like basketball and looked like easy prey for the Israelis. However, in the last 8 minutes of the game, they scored 29 points, taking advantage of the relaxation of the Israelis. They managed… Continue Reading »

Last week in Barcelona, Zenit (currently at 3-2) played their worst game in the three-year presence in the Euroleague; they were humiliated by Sarunas Jasikevicius’s team, losing hands down (84-58). In other words, Zenit did not remind much of the team that claimed the qualification to the Final – 4 just a few months ago… Continue Reading »

Fenerbahce (2-3) showed some suicidal tendencies again in Madrid, as if the lesson they had in OAKA against Panathinaikos wasn’t enough for them. They managed to lose again, a game that was literary theirs. Real dominated at the end (70-69) despite playing without Tavares (he became a father), Thompkins and Randolph. The coach of the… Continue Reading »

The second “devil week” of this season’s Euroleague starts tonight, with Olympiakos (3-2) hosting Alba (2-3) in Faliro. Coach Bartzokas’ team fell heroically in Moscow, but eventually, they paid for the awful second quarter they had (28-13 in favour of CSKA at the second quarter, 88-82 final score). Incredible performance at Megasport Arena by American… Continue Reading »

Indiana (currently at 1-2) needed the extra time to beat an opponent that appears to be one of the leading contenders for the title in the East, the Miami Heat. The Pacers won 102-91 at home. Thus, Rick Carlisle celebrated his first win on the Pacers bench after losing the first two games of the… Continue Reading »

In Thessaloniki tonight, there is a game for the 5th group of the BCL; PAOK will be host to Galatasaray. Igokea (1-1) and Nymburk (1-1) are the other two teams in this same group. Only the first team will qualify directly for the TOP – 16, while the 2nd and 3rd will claim a second… Continue Reading »

Just when everyone thought that the injury of Giorgi Shermadini would cause Tenerife  (4-2) lots of trouble, J. Vidorreta’s team is going through a period of excellent form. Last week they managed a superb away victory over Baskonia (65-71), after playing an excellent fourth quarter, with the individual score at 6-22. Canadian Kyle Wiltjer paved… Continue Reading »
