Short Monday's cigarettes

December 1, 2008

The first phase of the Euroleague regular season is over. So here we go for the next phase and how could you better start than with a good amount of smoking cigarettes?

  • The story of the week may be the following. You remember probably the canceled Bundesliga game of Ludwigsburg versus Giessen two weeks ago: The game was booked as a 1-0 win for Ludwigsburg. Now, ALBA Berlin had to play in Bamberg on Saturday and here are the thoughts that head coach Luka Pavicevic had during the post-game press conference: For me as a coach, it is unacceptable to play that early (Saturday, 14.30) after having finished our Euroleague game only on Thursday night (in Ljubljana). I went to our GM Marco Baldi and informed him about my idea to skip this game and pay a fine like Giessen and go home with a loss but being fresh again for the next games. However, he outvoted me andtherefore the Bamberg fans can thank him because without him, there would have been no game today. I will let this go without comment…
  • Double overtime in Gran Canaria.
  • SLUC Nancy will try to get an A License for permanent membership in the Euroleague as of next season. The management of the French team will meet with Euroleague CEO Jordi Bertomeu on this subject this week.
  • The weekly Brandon Jennings watch: DNP.
  • Always nice to read: Jonathan Givony’s trip through Europe.

    One could add that ALBA’s headcoach Pavicevic also left the arena more or less voluntarily* after two technical fouls against the bench and dramatically walked across the court with the game still running… It was the third time Pavicevic had to leave the arena early with referee Predrag Kovacevic leading the game.

    Overall, Luka’s behaviour in that game was really memorable.

    *It’s still unclear whether he had two technical fouls or just one and the other was against the bench.
