VTB League 2010-11

  • Thread starter Thread starter IGLR2
  • Start date Start date
Minsk-2006 90 - 60 Honka

What they're doing in VTB? If Minsk-2006 crushes them like that, then what about other teams?

Btw, team name "Honka playboys" sounds fun :D
 
What a game - lrytas vs uniks.
http://www.vtb-league.com/en/default.aspx
It really was a great show,from the first to the last minute.Starting with Lrytas under new coach and him trying new tactics -run run run and nearly succeeding going back to Uniks with their dismissal appearance in Euroleague preliminaries and trying to prove class of their own they would like to be in ,allegedly ..
\\\\ Especially knowing what the next game with zalgiris was a real bore.

How about russian league games?
Is it always CSKA or Chimki on tv?Or there is a bit more of variety?And how often they broadcast them?Once in a blue moon? Or on a bit more regural basis?
Come to think about UNiks,i think they have great team this year,same as they had in the last few seasons. Shame they did not qualify for euroleague,it really is

Well, as i know our main TV sport channel (Россия 2) eventually will show no less than twelve games of the regular season. I,ve no doubt than in all 12 games we,ll see only CSKA and Khimki. One of these two teams we,ll see on tv picture necessarily. It,s obvious. At least for me.
As for UNIKS i think they are still very unstable. Today they can beat LR or CSKA, tomorrow they can lose for example Enisey or Krasnie Kriliya. Also i think they don,t have a solid PG. Pietr Samoilenko looks at this KEY position is not serious.

How is UNIKS in terms of financial stability? Is it long term or just a pet toy project ?
Isn't the main sponsor a governor of Tatarstan ?
U had great teams in Saratov and Perm until someone got fed up financing he teams?
And i had a look at the all sport.ru website,there was a game without cska or chimki.))
And as far as i am aware sport express (newspaper) had live video broadcast as well (uninks -cska?)
.
Not so bad i have to say.

Definitely that current republic of Tatarstan president Rustam Minnihanov patronize the basketball team. The same as football Rubin, ice hockey Ak Bars and volleyball team Zenit.
Btw, as i know UNIKS sponsoring by no more no less as 7 Tatars Banks: Intehbank, AKIBANK, Kara Altin, Vheshprombank( as i undersatnd, their branch in Tatarstan), Binbank, Ak Bars and Tatfondbank!!! Moreover, the Kazan basketball club has bought OWN bank - TATAGROPROMBANK, and UNIKS eventually became his major shareholders!:)
As for broadcasting, i meant just broadcasting on TV, not live video broadcast on the internet.

Azov - Zalgiris 75:63

Kinda expected, maybe not a loss, but a tough game. Team was exhausted, unmotivated, Begic (injured) and Kalnietis didn't play. But not a big deal. It's good that nobody get injured, now the most important thing is game vs Caja Laboral.

Congrats to ukrainians and Zalgiris' haters crew :)

I guess that was a sign of how mediocre Zalgiris can be.Or is....

I'm guessing by "Zalgiris haters" crew you are refering to those few Rytas fans, posting on these forums. Anyway, nobody could deny that Zalgiris is very lucky to have 5-3 record after 8 games in Euroleague - they literally escaped in their both matches against Prokom and could easily have 3-5 hole now. Their level of play is very mediocre and other teams are simply not taking advantage of countless turnovers Kaunas point guards are committing. But like all things, luck finally runs out too. It's not hate though - it's just stating facts. Good luck to your team in TOP 16 - they are gonna need it.

actually I don't even know why I keep responding to my fellow lithuanian fanboys of a certain team here, because none of them likes to discuss basketball seriously here - they just boast and gloat in front of the fans of their rivals. Serious basketball discussion is very rare, except only few select posters here, you being one of those level-grounded Zalgiris supporters. And more power to you I say - keep up the quality of this board with your unbiased thoughts.

i think you do....you make a point...i think you envolved to better human being somehow...I like you now
matured? maybe?
or mellowed?
who knows
 
BC Khimki - Zalgiris 78:76

What a primitive tactics by Khimki. Give the ball to Lengford and immediately
step aside. Better to go at this time to smoke the bamboo in the corner...
 
In the last day of the regular season Azovmash beat Zalgiris away and consequently booked their place in the Final 4. The other three teams are all from mother Russia - CSKA, Khimki and UNICS respectively. CSKA should probably win this trophy now, as the final stage is played in their gym. Good luck to Azovmash though - this team seems to be on the right track and has some really individually strong players.

Thank god i was working today.
I called my father after i finished my shift,and after hearing his voice i though somebody had died in the family.
Well,Zalgiris lost apparently.Again.
Not surprised,do not care ,not till LKL finals,but even here i am not that confident.
 
Spartak, Lokomotiv, ČEZ and Astana will join VTB next season...but system will be the same.

Two more Russian teams look like a joke. Why? Hush.

The most interesting thing is Astana...seriously..can't understand it....Astana right now is 2nd in their local league (Barsy is 1st) and that Barsy this season played in BBL Challenge Cup where they barely won against worst teams...
 
Ponomarev is still with Astana right? At least it'll be good to see him playing at a higher level.
