Fans of Maccabi TA and Hapoel Jerusalem united to boycott the F4 claiming the system is unfair and calling for a series.

Thnx mate. That foreigners' limit explains most of the things. However, probably will try to skip Thomas, it still looks suspicious why he didn't play after so succesful 1st game, maybe injury (he is not a youngster in terms of bball) or smth else. We'll see what will happen...

Actually I just noticed an article in one.co.il saying that Thomas practiced with the team today and is expected to play against Donetsk. Still, not sure if it'd be smart to buy him as I'm not sure how much playing time will he get, after all he didn't play the last 4 games in Israeli league..

Ok umm about Thomas I'm not sure, about Randle I'm pretty sure it's because he was injured, now he came back and played last 2 games with them, Jackson actually played the last game and got 24 rkg but missed the game before it, I'm not sure why but I can guess it's because of foreign restrictions which are-a team can register 8 foreigns in a whole season but can only choose 4 foreign players to play in each given game, they got 6 foreigners (if you count Bradley, and I think he left or gonna leave soon as there were problems with him) so in each game 2 had to sit our, I guess that's what happened to Jackson.
about who travels with the team to Ukraine I couldn't find anything but I guess everybody who's fit, as there are no foreign restrictions in EuroCup.
Good luck!

Gotta question regarding Hapoel Jerusalem. What's the situation there with John Thomas, who played only 1st game of the league (27 rkg) and then didn't. Also Randle played only twice, Jackson missed the game. Is it because of some kind of rotation/foreigner limits/injuries or smth else?
I'm building the team for Eurocup fantasy manager, so quite curious about what's happening there. Also it'd be great if someone would provide the news will those guys travel to Ukraine to play against Donetsk. Hebrew language is too difficult to translate and moreover to find the right article for translation Thnx

Maccabi Haifa is the facepalm-iest club in the Universe . One needs special abilities to lose a game with possession and 6 sec to go.

Now with Quintel Woods in da house , they have a chance of make it next facepalm level.

And Haifa lost the ball about 4 seconds before the end, when it was even.

Crazy finish between Ashkelon and Haifa....

2 clutch 3 pointers (one for Haifa with 15s left the other on the buzzer for Ashkelon). Was very nice to watch, and now Maccabi with the weekly rape with 46-30 at the half

Crazy finish between Ashkelon and Haifa....

Christian Burns from Netanya is not bad at all...

Jordan Farmar (Maccabi Tel Aviv)
Avery Bradley (Hapoel Jerusalem)
JJ Hickson (Bnei Hasharon)
Trevor Booker (Bnei Hasharon)

[ArnoldPettybone]

Bnei Hasharon Herzliya signed J. J. Hickson.

My bad, as the guys here pointed out, it's 'Balkan' league, not 'Adriatic' , although both of them are technically Balkan

That's right, but the Adriatic is much better then the Balkan professional.
