It looks that next home game of Fenerbhche against Maccabi is moved to my country.

what is a reason for that?

when we are at match visits, last home match by Partizan against Virtus was used for a big humanitarian action to collect toys for children without parents for NY, it was a pretty great atmosphere, and playground was covered by toys
you can see some of that on a link - https://twitter.com/PartizanBC/status/1740429800152387782

I guess it may be the end of Roger Grimau in Barcelona. Another defeat and it's big this time 91:71 vs Monaco, they had no chance today. On Basketnews Discord channel their journalist said that Grimau may be sacked before the end of 2023, wouldn't be surprised at all.

I like Efes and I'm supporting them by going to their Euroleague matches as Efes' stadium is in a 10-minute distance to my home. However I'm a big Fenerbahçe fan. Tongue

Now it's clear

. I guess there is no big rivalry between Efes and other big Istanbul clubs as they don't have such long history and football club behind them. It looks that next home game of Fenerbhche against Maccabi is moved to my country. Probably I won't be able to visit it as it's played about 70 km from city where I live. Interesting how much ticket will cost, they haven't started to sell it.

Nice view!
I truly envy you for the opportunity to see these games, especially for such a reasonable price.
The atmosphere must be great every game. I know when Turkish games played in Germany when I went to some games there, it was always packed with Turkish fans basically making it an away game for the home team, haha.

I'm really very happy for finding a chance to watch quality matches for a very cheap price. Maybe the only nice side of the country I'm in is this. Cheesy

As Anadolu Efes are going to play 3 matches home in January they made a special package and ticket prices are really very cheap. This time I bought a ticket from T4 and paid around 16.5 euros for 3 matches.

Partizan lost at home to Virtus. Saw only end of game as I watched Istanbul derby. Virtus were leading most of time, but Partizan had great chance to win. But obviously not Kaminsky had to receive ball for buzzer-beater.
Olimpia had no problems with Baskonia, Valencia almost made comeback against Bayern, but still, hosts won, Real won against ASVEL just by 1 point and Zalgiris are digging up in the bottom. But it's really profitable to bet against them when they play at home, bookies giving nice odds for away team.

Partizan is in series of three loses, and last night we didn't even deserved a win
at least my bet goes through

Valencia and Baskonia both losing wasn't expected from me

We managed to defeat Anadolu Efes in the Turkish derby played in the Euroleague by 89-84 this week.

I think Nick Calathes was the star of the match at Fenerbahçe. The Greek guard who had difficulties in 3-pointers became one of the names who brought the win to their team with a 60% field goal percentage this evening.

Even though I followed the match among Anadolu Efes supporters there were many Fenerbahçe fans at the stadium just like me. Grin

Next time I visit Europe I will take the opportunity to watch some games as well.
What I can watch in Japan is too expensive for such a low game quality.

There is something wrong happening with Barcelona recently. Now they lost to Unicaja in ACB league and lost quite big. Few more losses and I guess that chair of Roger Grimau may become hot. And great vibe in Malaga, always fun to watch their games with orchestra playing during game Cheesy

.
~snip

just thought the same, what a lose for Barca, and their game fall apart in last quarter

Partizan plays against Virtus tonight, I am a fan, but odds @1.4 for Partizan win are really low, Virtus with handicap is maybe a better choice
Efes and Fener also a really derby, while all other matches have a favorite, although odds on Valencia are great value @3 against Bayern in Munich, them or Baskonia should win away match, and odds suggest that Baskonia is closer to it, but I think that Valencia should be that one

.
7 Euroleague games tomorrow, perfect time to watch some good basketball when there isn't much football in action (except EPL). Starting with Istanbul derby between Efes and Fnerbahche, where Fener is big favorite IMO.They're playing great with new coach, while Efes is struggling a lot with so many injuries. And Partizan - Virtus in early slot.
Later Olimpia - Baskonia looks like best game to watch.

I guess will see a change of the coach in Barcelona anytime soon.
They have the players to compete on a high level but for some reason it just doesn't come together for them.
When was the last time we saw them losing so many games combines at EL and ACB, I can't remember. The funny thing is, it's not even that many losses if it would be a normal team.
But from a team and roster like Barcelona you can definitely expect better!

agree, most away wins were expected, but to see all six away wins is pretty rare

Zalgiris had good chances to win over Barca, but only 7 points in last quarter was not enough to close the deal
Baskonia won against Efes, and that was biggest surprise yesterday, although PAO win against Milano is also surprising

Yeah, all 6 away teams winning their games is something what yoiu can't see often, but there were no huge upsets - either they were big favorites or it's 50/50 game without clear favorite.
Efes - Baskonia was good game, leading team changed many times, but Efes had poor 4th quarter, letting opponents to score 30 points.
Now we have 8 teams with identical 9-7 record between 4 and 10 places what is best proff which shows how competetive Euroleague is. There is probably 3 teams which can be rulled out from fight for playoff/play-in spots - Alba, ASVEL and Zalgiris.

Sure most visiting teams have been the favorite or the games was pretty much a 50/50 before the match but still you do t see that too often.
With the electric atmosphere in most arenas it’s not easy to win away games in European competitions, especially in the euroleague.

Real smashed us last night, but Partizan is still on position 4, and it would be too much to win both matches on Spain tour
Belgrade now has another derby match, and Maccabi lost "at home" against Zvezda, pretty much a surprise, but Zvezda played a lot better in second half

Barca is playing today in Kaunas, and Zalgiris is @2.5 to win this, seems as value bet, considering Barca form
Efes is hosting Baskonia, in another interesting match

What game between Monaco and Panathinaikos. Monaco give Christmas gift to their opponents. Okobo scored 2 with foul with 2.5 second remaining, but missed free throw intentionally. And then Marius Grigonis dropped 3 point buzzer-beater:
https://twitter.com/chrisalucard/status/1737567261051715784
Zalgiris was leading vs Fenerbahche for 3 quarters, but Fener took initiative in 4th quarter and didn't looked back. They remain undefeated at home.

Maccabi won, Virtus won, and Alba proved that Barca is in crisis with a surprise win

Virtus - Olympiacos was good to watch, Virtus had very solid 4th quarter and showed that deserve to be in 2nd place.
Barca is struggling a lot recently, loss against weakest team in Euroleague is great indicator of it, not really sure whats's wrong with them.

It's so stupid to miss the ft intentionally by Okobo. Sure it takes minimum time of the clock but since Pana had another timeout that action was truly worthless.
Without the timeout it's 100% the right thing to do, but since it wasn't, his action was just stupid!

The defence on the last play was awful as well. How Grigionis can be wide open and all by himself top of the key is so funny. Well, we got a nice buzzer win out of it.

What happens to Barcelona lately is really alarming. In ACB they also already lost 5 of 15 games. That doesn't sound much but for Barcelona it is. They have a different standard.

important win for Partizan in Valencia, it was a bit tough at the end, but we made another win, and securing our spot within top8 (hopefully top6, to skip first round in play-off)

Zvezda lost at home against Real, pretty much expected and now Partizan had a match against them, let's see what will happen, no pressure

Partizan secured a win in ABA league on Saturday night, against Buducnost, and now we have Spanish tour in Euroleague
first Valencia, and after that Real in Madrid, back to last season play-off spot, where we lost everything in 10 minutes between 25 and 35 minute of last match

one win from those two matches would be great success for Partizan, Kaminsky will be with a team, questioning that he will play

interesting schedule for Real, they are playing in Belgrade on Tuesday, just to fly home to play Partizan two days later (if second match is scheduled for Belgrade, than Partizan would have to fly back from Spain)

I watched the Partizan game vs Podgorica and the 1st quarter was really weak . I already though about making a small bet on Buducnost but thank god I didn't. Grin

After the 1st it was all Partizan in dominating fashion.

This weekend I had a small bet on Le Portel vs Nancy in the French LNB.
Le Portel lead the whole game, going into the last quarter by 15 and then closing the game 2:21 in the last 5 minutes, what the fxxk . When Nancy took the lead 2min before the end I was able to cash out my bet with 20% loss, lucky I did that. Of course I could have cashed out after the 3rd and get 80% profit, but who would expect them to make a 12:32 quarter after dominating the whole game, haha. Well, you never know.

Situation is getting ridiculous with Zalgiris. Today it was confirmed that Maksvytis will continue to work in Zalgiris after players disagreed with decision to sack him https://basketnews.com/news-198911-maksvytis-remains-zalgiris-coach-after-players-rebel-against-his-dismissal.html
They even made press conference to explain situation, but there was lot of lie. It was said that they trust in Maksvytis, but also confirmed that they had talks with other coaches - they contradict themselves. Coach Trinchieri even had plane tickets to Kaunas on Friday evening, but offcourse, they didn't confirmed that. It will be very hard for Maksvytis to continue working when he don't have support from front office.

Strange evening in Euroleague. Olympiacos - Valencia was some anti-basketball when both teams scored just 119 points combined. And Valencia win is big upset. Another surprise is Milano win vs Barcelona, Valencia were leading for whole 40 minutes. It's difficult period for Barca with several defeats both in Euroleague and ACB.
Jasikevicius started at Fenerbahche with solid win against Monaco. He arrived to team just 24 hours before game, so, probably win isn't his credit, but it's easier for Saras because he knows big part of Fener players as he managed them before.
