Good first day with many guys over +20, but I had only Kaukenas+Hawkins+Warren on my team that played very well, but Lull 0, Hall +3,3 (couldn’t change him, but at least I’ve got some credits for that), hopefully Ilievski, Navarro, Woods, Turkcan and Begic will do Ok today!!!

P.S.I told you about Sato: lost credits and +1 only. The same with Lavrinovic – I can’t imagine who buys player that plays only 20-25 min (although has a good average) that cost 95 credits if you can get the same one fot 60 (Smodis, Hutson, even Hall)

Smith played, and didn’t do very bad in the end. Good for him.

Lottomatica spoke about the status of its players:

Becirovic, Brezec and Jennings are questionable. Jennings has the flu. Surprisingly enough, Allan Ray had a full practice and is ready to play. Datome and Gigli should play, too, which stops us from seeing Bodiroga back on court or something.

So, let’s see what happens. The red cross means that a player may not play. And Becirovic may not play indeed, confirmed by the club. We’ll see about it tomorrow.

It was a terrible fantasy Wednesday for me, in general. The BallinEurope team is an exception so far – no Zisis, no Llull, no Mike Hall – told you about the CSKA golden rule.

Good night,

Alright, so Efes that Charles Smith will play, 100% sure.

Or so the club says. Don’t blame me if Smith has a -7 performance in Belgrade…

Everybody out there, good luck!

To my mind Kaukenas is a better option,they play almost the same time + next game is against Zalgiris Kaunas and lithuanians always play well agains lithuanian teams, so for that price after 2 rounds you will probably get some extra credits + same points!

I don’t want too, fella… But I must and I did it, but I didn’t find any player that could replace him, so I taking a risk on R.Sato.

If You will find any clues about him – please let us know here.

By the way, “NIKEiD Fantasy Challenge, Week 6 update” doesn’t says anything about C.Smith.

About Becirovic, the club said – in Italian – the following: Becirovic invece è reduce da postumi dolorosi alla caviglia destra: necessari per lui almeno un paio di giorni di riposo, dopo i quali verrà valutata la situazione. Ray, invece, ha un inizio di fascite plantare al piede operato e pertanto deve essere sottoposto alle terapie del caso. Difficile il recupero di questi ultimi due per la gara con Berlino.

Tranlating. Becirovic has to sit out at least two days and it is difficuly that him and Allan Ray will play vs. Alba.

About Smith, I am finding out. Have our correspondant, the one and only Gokhan Ture, calling Efes GM Engin Ozerhun right now.
