Euroleague I ain't forgot about you!!! I could never. Tomorrow we got Panathinaikos and Monaco playing road games vs Bayern Munchen and Paris Basket. The 2 best teams in the league, in my opinion. Or at least the two most talented rosters. Last time Monaco played Paris I think they set the Euroleague record for points in a game, and have been on a tear lately winning their last 4 games or more in the Euroleague. Everything is jazz over there and they look to just keep it humm

Last night we had madness at the end of the Orlando Magic @ Brooklyn Nets game. The Nets went on a 18-2 run at the end of the 4th to take the game to OT, including a 3 from Sergei Demin with 5 seconds left at the end of regulation to tie the game. Sergei hadn't made a shot all game until 2 minutes left in the 4th and he ended up with at least 18. The 18 went unconscious

I have considered Panathinaikos the favorite to win the league since I found out that Panathinaikos is hosting the Final 4 of 2025-2026 Euroleague. Lately however they've been in a bit of turmoil. They've lost multiple games in a row, and their owner came out saying that the guys were all out two nights before the game and the whole team isn't connected with 1 goal to win. If it wasn't for them hosting the Final 4, and with how crazy gate 13 is at their stadium, I would be ba

This one hits home, literally. Trey Lyles aka the Bron of Europe has maybe his best Euroleague game yet as Madrid comes back to beat Dubai FC 107-93, with the help of 6 different players in double figures. By looking at the score it looks like it was a routine win for Madrid but it really was all but that. For most of 1st quarter Madrid led a couple points but Dubai was able to take the lead a few times for very short stretches. The 2nd quarter is where it started to get craz

So far in the Euroleague season it's a tight race- record wise- through the top 10 teams. A few of those rosters stick out though as being a bit better than the others, and to me the best is sitting currently in 3rd, Panathinaikos. They got the reigning MVP, and the silkiest player in the league, Kendrick Nunn. Nunn is smooth and gets to his spots so easily, more surprising when he misses than makes. They added former Nuggets star Kenneth Faried, and Cedi Osman has added an e

Monaco's achilles heel all year has been inconsistent play. We've known they're capable of playing at the top level. I've been preaching it since my first Monaco article a few months back, and now Mike James is preaching it as well. In the post game press conference they asked him about they're level compared to some of their other good games and he said that they're "just looking for consistency" and "just trying to be consistent". Whether he's noticed it, or Coach Spanoulis

Pretty fitting the game of the day on the historical Christmas Day NBA games was the last game. Just too bad most people were asleep by then. (Honorable mention to Snoop Dogg for the moment of the day while people were awake hours though) Anytime these teams play each other it is usually an instant classic. You got Ant who can score as many points as anybody, jump over anybody, and has the swagger/confidence that he's not afraid of anybody and he makes it known too. There's a

As I started my day and realized that we'd be getting the long awaited Trey Lyles vs Mike James matchup today I thought it was Christmas all over again. This was better than any matchup in the NBA yesterday for me. Then you get the Euroleague Anthem starting as the game comes on Euroleague TV it just sets the vibes so high. Then the Monaco clapping that starts at intros and goes until the first basket is made. Basically the Taylor University Silent Night tradition but it happ

The 10 point streak for Bron is officially over. In terms of longevity, it is one of the most impressive accomplishments of all time. I mean this streak is older than Hulu. Older than President Obama's inauguration. Older than the first Iphone! Evan Cal Ripken's streak of 2,632 games played in a row is widely considered one of the best of all time but this is way better. He didn't just step foot on court for 1,297 times, but when he did step foot on court, he scored double di

Real Madrid 81 Anadolu Efes 75 This game was tight for most of the way. In the first half my Bron of Europe Trey Lyles was letting me down. He was trying to be the Jay Huff of Europe, catching and shooting every time he got the ball. Hezonja on the other hand started the game like prime Wilt. I thought I was going to witness a Euroleague 100 ball. He scored 10 points in the first 4 minutes on 100% shooting. Then after that stopped shooting until the 2nd quarter. What a bummer

Euroleague is back in action today and we'll look at a few of the games. I hopped on the Monaco wagon a few years ago, after Mike James left the KD Nets, and anywhere that Trey Lyles plays we gotta support, Naptown stand up. So today we will be previewing the Monaco vs Paris game, and Real Madrid Vs Anadolu. Real Madrid @ Anadolu Efes Madrid 7-6, Anadolu 5-8 Going into the season, this would have seemed like a possible future playoff game. But Anadolu have had the injury bug

The most one sided battle in sports is starting to even out. Everybody remembers that tweet from 2015 saying "Lebron is 30, this fuckery wont go on much longer, thank god". And then he proceeded to go to the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 NBA finals and has been an all star every year since then and it's now 2025 and he will once again be an All Star in 2026. But this year is the first year that he probably doesn't actually deserve it, but will get in off the fan vote. Every ye

If there was one word to describe the start of the year for As Monaco Basket it would be "inconsistent". They have shown they can beat the top clubs in the league with back to back wins over Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, but also have losses and struggled against teams they should beat handily such as Partizzan Mozart, Mccabi Tel Aviv, and Bologna. All in all Monaco players and fans are not particularly happy having a 6-5 record and sitting in 9th place currently. However, th

Miami 305. The championship winning team you've probably never heard of but put up one of the best championship moments in sports history. Led by Michael Beasley, Lance Stephenson, and Mario Chalmers, Miami 305 lifted the Big 3 championship trophy on Sunday. It had everything a basketball fan could want. It had a game-winning shot, had a 11 point lead blown and recovered, almost had a fight, and both teams were totally locked in treating it like a true championship game.  Lan
