Today's Chinese cigarettes

August 15, 2008

Day 3 of the Olympic Tournament is over and Team USA, Spain as well as Lithuania are still without any loss. Here are the short stories that we heard around the tournament.

  • It has nothing to do with the Olympics, but the Suns deny that they have signed a deal with Goran Dragic. The summer story continues…
  • I did not see a lot of action yesterday but everybody told me about this play
  • How to find a basketball ticket in Beijing. It’s not really legal (in Europe), that’s why Reuters shows it on TV
  • Lithuanian NT coach Ramunas Butautas speaks about the Olympic Courage
  • If you watched Croatia-Argentina, you could see that Marko Popovic got hurt during the game. There is nothing official yet but it looks like the Games are over for him…
  • Steffen Hamann told us in his Blog on the official ALBA Berlin page that assistant coach Hansi Gnad nearly got hit by a spotlight that fell down for the roof of the Basketball Arena during a practice.
  • A quick look at the current standings of the BallinEurope Fantasy League for the Olympic Games. Our French friend Eric is up, just in front of myself. A bad night of both Zoran Planinic and Wang ZhiZhi put me behind. But I will come back.

    “”I did not see a lot of action yesterday but everybody told me about this play””

    The YouTube link :
    “”This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by a third party””.

    So what’s the play ???
