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 Dan Peterson really does every kind of stupid advertising. However, nothing tops his legendary iced tea spots. Fenomenale!!!
• We highly recommend that you follow J.R. Holden’s blog on our friend Dave Hein’s new website.
• Don’t forget to prepare your own commentaries for the Euroleague Top 10 plays to win a Euroleague TV package
• Aside from doing his two blogs, Rod Benson is now also twittering.
• The Brandon Jennings watch: 11 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 turnovers, and still unbeaten in the Italian League.
• ALBA Berlin wins the game at the top of the Bundesliga against Ulm, but ALBA head coach Luka Pavicevic was ejected from the game after two technical fouls.
• Yes, he’s still alive: Nikoloz “Skita” Tskitishvili started his season with Fuenlabrada in the Spanish ACB with a nice effort of 6-for-7 on threes.
