I hope Besiktas wins the series... We'll most probably destroy both teams no matter what yet the atmosphere of a Fenerbahce- Besiktas series will be much more heated up. There is nothing better than a basketball arena full of fans who sing and shout and scream and etc.
I really hope Besiktas invests more in their basketball branch as that will only help Turkey's basketball. Btw, what is their budget this year? and what are their goals, do they have any plans for their team at all?

The whole budget is 4 M USD. The total sponsorship income is already 3 M USD. So we are living within our means, we don't make notable loss. The projected investment is a new all-purpose sport hall which includes rooms for other social activities too. As soon as obtaining the necessary permissions, the club will start the construction. This hall will be the fixed income source of basketball branch along with sponsorship deals. Orman's main concern before doing something is return of investment. In one of his interviews, he said that Beşiktaş Basketball's budget will be around 10 M USD in few years if the things go at our sweet wills. When you have such strong domestic assets that feed your budget, then you can begin to speak of long term plans. It is just matter of time, this project will extend the vision of basketball branch. Taking firm steps forward is what we need and also what we are doing now. Hopefully, those days will come when we reap the fruits of victory.

Due to temporary withdrawal (6 mins) from the match on game 3, Efes was punished by 3 losses for the next season, along with some 20k USD penalty. Moreover, Efes president and GM are suspended for 4 months from attending TBL games.

I did not watch the game, but it sounds extremely amateurish on Efes GM's part to pull the team out on protest to ref decisions. This should not happen at an established club like Efes.

anyway, this penalty is not really gonna cost anything in reality. Hope the team just pulls themselves together and play with some spirit on court.

It's a wrong decision by TBF, first of all they had to give more severe punishments to the Efes. GS did the same thing in 2016 finals and they get only punishment for a couple of games, now Efes almost did the same and they get only 3 games. It should've been at least 10 games includes this one. This is not a child play, you can't draw your team from the court just because of a wrong decision, it's ridiculous.

Congratulations Team! Sarıca did his abracadabra again. I just finished watching the game, one more game that we moved as a team in the same direction. The determination to win of these players is really worthy of respect. Every player in rotation is completing each other. Stimac is definitely the hero of team in every respect, Roll is the floor general, Strawberry is transformer, Sipahi is X-factor, Clark is the all-around scorer though he has showed substandard performance in this series, Thompson is the dark horse of big games, Weems is there when you need him. And these two names. Surprisingly great. Veyseloğlu and Şanlı are coming off bench; doing excellent things, sparking off their teammates and making notable contributions. They must be called up to NT roster also.

There aren't any empty seats left in the Ulker arena for Game 1. We will be there tomorrow.
