Euroleague Back in Action

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 humming tomorrow vs Paris. Although Hifi got the biggest side step back in the game.

Panathinaikos on the other hand has been on a tough stretch lately and got called out by their owner for being out late two days before a game and blaming that for their 12th straight derby loss to Olympiacos. It's all good. They are just waiting for the right time to turn it on and get hot but there's definitely starting to be a sense of urgency for them. Unless there's injuries I don't know about I'm shocked they're not heavy favorites considering Bayern isn't one of the better teams in the league and don't have Spencer Dinwiddie with them anymore.

Friday is El Clasico del Basket, Real Madrid and Barcelona. No clue if they call it that or not but they should. This games played at Madrid and they got the better squad. Trey Lyles is the Bron of Euroleague and Herzonja is a 100 point threat every night. Campazzo scored 15-18 straight points in 2-3 minutes against Monaco. T Mac stuff. They're not like Monaco but man they got a tough team when they're clicking. Barca had a great 1st half of the year but I don't expect that to continue, although don't get me wrong they got themselves a squad still.

These are my 3 favorite EU teams and hopefully we have a pretty solid 48 hours here. Look for another day at the office for Monaco, back on track for Panathinaikos, and Friday Madrid to be more classic than Barca.
