Pinar Karsiyaka 29

 

Fenerbahce stunned at home after another shocking first half

Bobby Dixon was the hero for Pinar Karsiyaka in Istanbul but Fenerbahce Ulker allowed old problems to get in their way as they were stunned 96-97 at home in Game 1 of the Turkish League semi-finals. It’s almost best to go in reverse order here. Karsiyaka won thanks to a fortuitous off-ball foul late in […]

Deron Williams, Marcelus Kemp, Semih Erden lead win vs. Fenerbahçe Ülker; Besiktas 4-0

Highlights: Deron Williams goes for 24 points, 10 rebounds vs. Pinar Karşiyaka

Weren’t some grumbling about Deron Williams’ relative lack of production for Beşiktaş thus far this season? Let the doubters be silenced, at least for the time being; on Saturday, D-Will posted a line of 24 points, 10 assists amidst a 100-93 shootout victory over Pinar Karşiyaka in TBL play. Williams’ backcourt compatriot Marcelus Kemp added […]

Juan Dixon comeback begins today with Banvit

Thanks to an injury suffered by Antonio Graves, Turkish side Banvit had been left with a hole in the depth chart at the no. 2 spot plus a free “foreign-born player” spot on the roster – an unfortunate situation for the team, but ultimately a serendipitous chance for Juan Dixon to return to professional basketball […]

Omer Önan: TBL second only to ACB

Team Turkey/Fenerbahçe Ülker guard Ömer Onan makes a few declarations in this morning’s Today’s Zaman, summing up well the current state of TBL and Turkish international ball. “[ACB] aside,” opines Onan, “in Turkish basketball, we have long surpassed important European domestic leagues, including the Italian and Greek leagues.

Galatasaray Café Crown, 73-71: Turnovers, poor shooting doom A.I., Beşiktaş

Despite a nice finish, Allen Iverson and Beşiktaş Cola Turka couldn’t quite overcome TBL-leading Galatasaray Café Crown in Istanbul yesterday, 73-71. Iverson himself was good for 11 points, five rebounds and four assists in nearly 37 minutes of court time, but his woes in the game were emblematic of the team’s: Iverson shot just 3-of-10 […]
