Euroleague Preview 15
Euroleague: Asseco Prokom Sopot, Poland
For some reason, it is hard to find people that like basketball in Poland. We have been trying to establish a contact in Poland for two years now, but nobody really seems to care. My journey took me from Rome, Italy to Gdynia, Poland which is not even five kilometers away from the Asseco Prokom […]
Euroleague: Zalgiris Kaunas, Lithuania
What would we do without Jonas? Without Jonas, we would not have been able to give our shirt of our EuroGuy vs. Ramunas Siskauskas (see the logo) to Ramunas himself at the Final Four in Madrid this past summer. Jonas has always been a true friend to BallinEurope and has sent in many reports and […]
Euroleague: Cibona Zagreb, Croatia
To give you the preview on Cibona Zagreb, there was only one address we could ask. Not because there is nobody else but Karlo Dzeverlija is considered as the main reference about Croatian basketball. He is the author of kosarka.hr (crobasket.com) and also the editor in chief of Basketball magazine “Croatian basketball”. Overall record prediction: […]
Euroleague: Armani Jeans Milano, Italy
Dario Marra has already written a great preview of his home town team from Roma. He also offered to send us his view on Armani Jeans Milano, which we are really appreciating. Dario and his team at basketcentral has helped us a lot as we can only tell you to visited their web site a […]
Euroleague: Montepaschi Siena, Italy
Francesco Cappelletti does not need an introduction anymore. Francesco works for Montepaschi Siena and has written many great articles for us, such as things about Brandon Jennings and league previews for Italy, Spain, Greece and Russia. This time, Francesco gives us his insight on “his” team – Montepaschi Siena. Overall record prediction: 8-2 For a […]
Euroleague: Olympiacos Piraeus, Greece
Akilas is another great guy who wrote his second preview for BallinEurope. I guess this season we will read much more of him, since Olympiacos has a promising team with National hero Papaloukas. No, my American friends, it is not Josh Childress – and even is he will average 30 points a game – Papaloukas […]
Euroleague: Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv, Israel
Just as last year we got our man Yarone Arbel from Israel on BallinEurope, presenting us his unique view on Maccabi. If you have been on BallinEurope and even read some stuff Yarone Arbel sent us to publish here, you will be more than happy to read his preview and expectations he has in Maccabi […]
Euroleague: Real Madrid, Spain
Alberto Notario publishes some of his articles for Basket-net.com, a web site, that “cares about the real basketball fan allover the world”. And this is really true. The web site actually publishes news in English as well as in Spanish – not too many European web sites do this up to this point. Alberto already […]
Euroleague: Panathinaikos Athens, Greece
Drazen93 and scire10 first sound like some PlayStation3 nick name, but over the years we found out that basketball people in Greece give themselves nick names. I maybe should ask one day what the reason for this is. Drazen and Scire have provided us with a great preview last season and do it again this […]
Euroleague: Efes Pilsen, Turkey
Evin Demirel, from theglobalhook.blogspot.com, who worked with the Turkish National Team as a website translator in 2007, is our expert for Efes Pilsen this year. Evin has been a faithful reader from day one and has brought in some very interesting insights to BallinEurope. Overall record prediction: 6-4 It’s not so much a Turkish takeover […]
Euroleague: Virtus Roma, Italy
Dario Marra is one of the guys, we actually met in person in this internet related word wide web. Dario would be the perfect fit for BallinEurope since he is just as normal and funny as we are, but Dario is with basketcentral.it already – too bad. Well, we are happy to know Dario and […]
Euroleague: Avellino, Italy
First we thought it would be hard to find somebody to write about a total newcomer in the Euroleague, but after getting Pietro Scibetta‘s article about Avellino, we were really surprised. Pietro founded the Italian web site basketground.it and is kind of THE man in Italy. I am sure Dan Peterson will be mad now… […]
