No, I definitely think they should try different cities but London was a uniquely bad place for a F4. I think there is some idea that it is a good...

No, I've just been on here for too long. :D

Correct, the London F4 in 2013 didn't work out. It was supposed to be there in 2014 too but Euroleague decided to move it to Milan instead.

Haha, true. I think the issue was that in 2012 it really felt like CSKA had thrown it away. A lot of their players did carry that for years. And as...

2017 is an interesting one. IIRC he was CSKA's best player but at the end of the third quarter he took an ill advised shot with time remaining on the...

Perhaps if Teodosic joined PAO in 2007 and Spanoulis had gone to Olympiacos at that point, then the perception of the two players would be different.

I've never agreed with this. It's mostly based on the 2012 EL final where other CSKA players were equally culpable. And yes, he was likely better...

Yes! It will be great to see him playing in the Euroleague again. I hope Kyle Weems stays next year. He deserves to play at the top level after...

About half the people in the Segafredo Arena tonight are actually players who Virtus have under contract.

They really deserve it. Hopefully they can keep as many of the gang together as possible, although Toruko said the vultures are already circling.

Virtus have such a large roster that some of their players probably still haven't met each other, so Bursa should have an advantage in team chemistry.

So, what is everyone thinking about this game tonight? Virtus looked very dominant against Valencia but this Bursa team have defied the odds...

When the game ends and you realise Virtus have another 100 players on their roster who aren't suited up.

Huge for Fener if this is confirmed. It would suggest that they plan investing seriously in players as well.

Virtus showing some chemistry despite having 100 players in their rotation.

Did Jaycee Carroll finally agree to return? :D

Scheduling in these competitions is absolutely abysmal.

Any thoughts on Mirotic? Not at all, it's pretty relevant to this thread considering how much Trinchieri is getting out of his team. The...

Is Bob really going to pass up this opportunity to criticise Calathes' shooting?

Ha, yes! :D To be fair it has injected more excitement into this stage of the competition.

I think this is the first final 4 without Kyle Hines since 2011?

Even more than Bursa winning the Eurocup? :confused:

Ataman! What a legend.

It's alarming seeing how few of those signings were successful.

Yeah, he was effectively a re-signing but he did rejoin during Kokoskov's time so he had to be included.

It's truly astonishing how much they have played around with the format of this competition over the years. The current format is exciting but it...

And LeBron decided this very quickly, possibly during training camp iirc. The younger players really responded to him though.

That definitely wasn't my intention. He's a good coach but he directly replaced Blatt with the Cavs, despite having nowhere the same credentials at...
