Fernandez has made the All-Euroleague first team […]
Final Four movie…good job Euroleague
This is actually pretty great. Euroleague has put together a short film following all four Final Four teams through Thursday and Friday. Gives a great look inside the game and is really well produced. Take 9 minutes to check it out.
Final Four: The Final preview
In just a few hours we will know who the champions of Euroleague for the 2013/14 season are. Real Madrid are the favourites but Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv will have the crowd on their side. Emmet Ryan makes his call. The dramatic finish to Maccabi’s semi final win over CSKA Moscow was incredible. The Israelis […]
The Ballin After: Blatt on that miracle
Emmet Ryan looks back on Real Madrid’s dominant display against Barcelona and we hear from David Blatt about Maccabi’s miracle against CSKA.
Final Four: Real blast Barca 100-62
Matching the hysterics, both on the court and amongst the fans, of the first game was always going to be a challenge for El Clasico. Even combined, the fanbases of Real and Barca were dwarfed by the now recovering Maccabi support. The Real support, situated mostly to the left of the upper press tribune, did […]
Pullen: Pascual has taught me a lot
Ballineurope’s Emmet Ryan caught up with Brad Oleseon, Erazem Lorbek, Jacob Pullen, and Joey Dorsey of FC Barcelona at Thursday’s Final Four practice. “They are a very dangerous team in transition. When they get out in transition they get confidence and make threes,” Brad Oleson told BallinEurope.com. He made the comments at Thursday’s practice ahead […]
Fearless predictions: Euroleague playoffs
BallinEurope only went 6 of 8 in picking the teams to make the post-season and one of those sides we didn’t have faith in won’t be happy with how we see the playoffs shaping up. It’s fearless prediction time. Barcelona vs Galatasaray Pick: Barca in 3. So we didn’t think Galatasaray would make it this […]
The Dish: Can I play with Madness?
It may be March Madness across the Atlantic but Euroleague served up plenty of insanity this week as the races for the final playoff spots entered crazy territory. Emmet Ryan breaks it all down. The story of this week should have been the return of Zeljko Obradovic to the OAKA and, in fairness, it was […]
The Dish: No wild cards here
Fenerbahce are in free fall while the Greens and the Blaugrana served up another gem. Take your mind off the FIBA World Cup for a minute and take in this week’s edition of The Dish. The top two in Group E squared off in the OAKA and at half-time it looked like the Blaugrana would […]
The Dish: If it bleeds we can kill it
You’d be forgiven for thinking this week’s Euroleague slated consisted of one game and one shot, we begin with the latter. Efes? Really Efes did this? And Planinic? Wow, it’s like all the mockery of the club and Zoran (there was plenty on Twitter through the evening) was channeled into one wild moment of positive […]
Group F: The knowns and the unknowns
The slate is clean for the Top 16. We’re breaking down what we know about each team in the second phase, what we want to know, and what we think we still won’t know after 14 rounds of action. We went through Group E yesterday, now it’s time to look at Group F. Real Madrid […]
Lokomotiv & Maccabi record last-gasp wins in Euroleague thrillers
The Turkish Airlines Euroleague is well under way but the action isn’t letting up anytime soon, thanks to some thrilling games on round four. The pick of the night’s matches came from Group D as Eurocup champion Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnoda defeated Panathinaikos Athens 69 – 72 in an exciting match. Lokomotiv led for most of […]
