A Euro perspective on David Blatt and the Cavs
The melodrama of the Cleveland Cavaliers season has seen David Blatt come under increasing pressure. BiE’s Emmet Ryan looks at how the pressure for the first-year NBA coach is nothing he can’t handle based on his previous posts. In 1977, at the height of the Cold War, Maccabi Tel Aviv beat CSKA Moscow 91-79 in […]
It’s a perfect day for Euroleague
This dude reminds me way too much of me. Just add 50kg and ditch the beard.
A quick look at Euroleague’s new look
Euroleague has switched to a responsive design for its website, BiE’s editor’s day job is as a tech journalist. It would be flat out weird for us not to talk about this. First up, it’s best to explain what responsive design means. It doesn’t hurt that you are viewing a site that actually uses it. […]
Talking about the final round of Euroleague with Phil Naessens

Emmet talks about fan violence on the Phil Naessens Show
Normally I go on the Phil Naessens Show to talk about the games in European basketball.

It’s on us – The death of Marko Ivkovic
Last night European basketball and sport as whole suffered a senseless loss with the murder of Marko Ivkovic, a Crvena Zvezda fan, in Istanbul. BallinEurope’s editor Emmet Ryan offers his thoughts. It doesn’t matter that Galatasaray won in double overtime. It doesn’t matter that Marcus Williams set a new assists record. It definitely doesn’t matter […]
Bayern continue to learn the hard way
The second part of BiE’s two-legged German adventure was in the Audi Dome as FC Bayern hosted FC Barcelona in Round 6 of Euroleague’s regular season. Even I have limits. Sure there’s beer in the fridge of the press room but I’m not touching that until someone else does. Besides, I’d already had a couple […]

Return to Freak City
BiE’s editor returned to Bamberg for the first time since 2010 to take in the gang from Freak City hosting Reggio Emilia in Eurocup action. He got as much hops as hoops in on this trip. It was always the quietest ones. A young fan would go “Brose Baskets” and then the 999 at their […]
