European basketball

Hopefully someone might see this.

Does anyone watch european basketball (domestic, euroleague, eurocup, international)?

I am a panathinaikos athens fan and had courtside seats last season and was at the euroleague final4 in london in may although my team wasnt there, a greek team won it for the 5th time in 7 years.

Coming up soon there is a friendly between england and greece in the build up to the eurobasket in september.

Also in the up and coming nba 2k14 you will be able to play with euroleague teams.

What teams do you know in european bball, do you support any, dd anyone else go to the final 4?

Please lets not go into nba vs euroleague cause they are different in many aspects (time per quarter, travelling calls, and focus- nba spectacle whilst euroleague tactics driven).

Im Greek.

And YES, what a great win for us yesterday against you.

Although, Please can you answer one question for me?
How are Printezis and Sloukas in the national team???

I mean genuinely. Sloukas in probably only there cause Diamantidis has retired from internationals, Mantzaris is injured and Kalathes "couldnt hear my phone" and then "i lost my phone". Fine.

But Printezis? He offers NOTHING to the team. He has no 3. no mid range, cant hit over 50% free throws. Mavrokefalidis is a better rebounder. He is slow. And not a good defender. What else is there? Its no concidence yesterday spain were +10 and +8 when he was on the floor, and -7 and -4 when he went off.

Win against Slovenia and Croatia, and we are through. Easy (yeah right)

On a separate note, who do you fancy for final4 in euroleague this year?

Its very close.

Real are similar to last year.
Barca have strengthened with Papanikolaou.
CSKA with Hines and Pargo are stronger.
Fenerbahce have the obradovic factor.
Panathinaikos have kept lasme, diamantidis and maciulis and added Pappa, Giankovits and fotsis, as well as mavrokefalidis to replace tsartsaris, and the experience of Batiste.

Olympiakos are the only team that look weaker. Losing Hines, Papanikolaou and Antic will hurt them.
