We should have a Euroleague thread but I couldn't find for new season. Maybe we can go on with this one, OP can update thread name.

I watched last minutes of Partizan - Anadolu Efes game, it was intense game and had close ending. Efes made it down to one in last minute but Nunnally made a 3-pointer. After that Efes found an easy score but Nunnally didn't miss both free throws. Efes found one more chance after a successful 3-pointer but when the difference was 3 points they couldn't get the ball into play and blew that last chance.

Anadolu Efes looked pretty far away from their last season's performance. Partizan is giving good signals but their squad is limited. You can see Obradović's touch though. Nunnally and Exum are scorers, there's also Punter from bench but they need better Center and Power Forward. With this squad they will finish in middle places.
There is really something weird going on with Anadolu Efes this season. It can't be explained only with Shane Larkin situation. They started last season badly also and got the title at the end but it is even much worse this season. They started to get better recently but still, there seems to be something fundamentally wrong. Even though they are 7-7 with 50% win percentage, I don't think they play good and promising.

I also enjoy this season even more than ever. Fenerbahce with Dimitris Itoudis is my title favorite, they started great and looking strong. Even though personally I don't like them. After them Barça is my second contender.

Thanks for bumping this topic. It's sad that Euroleague isn't getting much attention here. I think that this Euroleague season is most competetive ever.
I watched Partizan - Efes game and I like to watch Partizan playing. They have potential to fight for playoffs, but as you said, short bench can be big problem for them. I think that Lessort is perfect center for them, but they need backup for him. While Efes, they never show their best basketball in first part of season.
Later turned to Monaco - Alba game and with ended buzzer beater of Okobo and Monaco win:
https://twitter.com/EuroLeague/status/1603871239000449025 It's a bit strange that on last posession ball weren't in Mike James hands Cheesy. Meanwhile it was already 11th lossfor Alba in a row  Shocked. But for me Olimpia Milan is biggest disappointment. With such squad and professor Messina they can't be in the bottom of table.

Fenerbahce had important coaching changes. They parted ways with Sasha Djordjevic and signed Dimitris Itoudis from also CSKA Moscow. A very big move.
Indeed, it's big move, but it should be so pity for Djordjevic to get sacked after winning Turkish league. Now there is one big name remaining in coach market - Xavi Pascual. It's difficult to expect that he will stay in Zenit, which is removed from Euroleague.

Actually, Including the competition's previous incarnation as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this is the 65th season of the premier basketball competition for European men's clubs.
I know that you're just spamming copy paste stuff, but Euroleague history counts from 2000.

nevertheless, it will be hard to expect from both, Crvena Zvezda and Partizan, to proceed into knock-out stage, just hoping to be competitive and finish will 10+ wins in 30 matches
I expect both them to finisj in 10-14 places. Partizan have Obradovic, but they have failed this season without even reaching Eurocup final and now they withdraw from Serbian league playoffs, what was really strange decision.

It is really delightful to me that Turkish teams have been quite dominant in the Euroleague in the recent years.

Serbia will have two teams in Euroleague, it is first time, since large 16 team group is introduced, so we will have domestic derby in Euroleague for the first time

nevertheless, it will be hard to expect from both, Crvena Zvezda and Partizan, to proceed into knock-out stage, just hoping to be competitive and finish will 10+ wins in 30 matches

It is really delightful to me that Turkish teams have been quite dominant in the Euroleague in the recent years. In the past five seasons, Turkish teams became the champions three times. Anadolu Efes won two times and Fenerbahce won once. Maybe the Turkish domestic basketball league isn't the best league in Europe now but the big teams there have really big potentials in themselves. Turkish teams aren't this much successful in football for many years for example.

Actually, Including the competition's previous incarnation as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this is the 65th season of the premier basketball competition for European men's clubs. The season started on 30 September 2021. The three Russian teams were suspended because of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As the Russian invasion of Ukraine did not cease, the records of all regular season matches against Russian teams were annulled.

The Euroleague season ended with a bang and after the local leagues also finished, now it is time for teams to prepare for the next season. Efes Pilsen made two important signings. Firstly, they extended Shane Larkin's contract for two years. And then they signed 2019 Final Four MVP Will Clyburn coming from CSKA Moscow. Two important moves for the next two seasons. But after winning the Euroleague, Efes lost the Turkish League title to Fenerbahce Beko. Fenerbahce had important coaching changes. They parted ways with Sasha Djordjevic and signed Dimitris Itoudis from also CSKA Moscow. A very big move.

I am shocked about the game score though. 58-57 right? That is one of the lowest scoring finals I have ever seen in a while. Even though I do not watch too many euroleague finals, I can say that scores are usually not that this low. Both teams tried their best to slow the game down as much as possible, like use the whole 24 seconds, and if you score then you score.

Compared to amazingly fast pace used both in NBA and also in most situations for euroleague, this game has been a big shock. Kudos to both managers for being ready for such a slow pace, it is not easy to keep giving half court sets at all times to get scores out of it. Specially the last 30 seconds or so was a big shock, without proper timing for fouls decided the game.

Efes Pilsen, who played a perfect match, became the champion again and became the first Turkish team to be the Euroleague champion two times in a row. Ergin Ataman gave a very good performance. He did great things in every team he went to and won great trophies. He won European cups even with much more limited budgets. Efes is very lucky to have him. I'm very curious to see what he will do next season. They will want to do the final four again and will strive for more if possible.

A historic achievement, I join the congratulations to Efes! They were not favorites but were able to defend their title. As for the next season, it looks like they want (and most likely will be favorites) to win the Euroleague for the third time in a row - judging by the news, they have launched a lot of activity in the transfer market and are seriously strengthening their squad.

It was such an incredible finale between Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid. Actually it would have been better if we didn't see a low-scoring game but it was still very competitive here. It was like a defense game and Anadolu Efes became victorious by only one point at the end. Anadolu Efes have become the champions two times in a row by this one. Honestly I wasn't very hopeful about Anadolu Efes in the regular season but they improved their performance too much after that. I believe they definitely deserved the title.

Today in the Euroleague, the third position and final games were played. In the game for the third position, Barcelona managed to beat Olympiacos despite having a difficulty. Despite normal games for the third position, we watched a game that had a high level of competition. Greek supporters had a really big role about this. In the final game, Anadolu Efes that were the last champions managed to beat Real Madrid by 58-57. At Anadolu Efes, the German center Pleiss was chosen as the player of the game after his performance. And he was one of the most important players who brought the title to Efes.

Anadolou Efes is back-to-back Euroleague Champions! Ataman is definitely man of his word. It was extremely low scoring game, but it doesn't makes it worse, we had drama until final second. Vasilije Micic is back-to-back Final 4 MVP, but I would like to mention Tibor Pleiss, he was one of keys to win, especialyy in 4th quarter. Usually you don't expect such performance from him
I just don't understand what Real were doingon last minute. There was 45 seconds remaining, Real made 2 fouls before bonus then. But why they didn't fouled then to let Efes to shoot free-throws? With defence without fould Real didn't left any time for themselves for last attack.

Stark Arena'da oynanan müsabaka, Anadolu Efes Real Madrid’i 58-57 yenerek şampiyon oldu. Anadolu Efes üst üste 2. Şampiyonluğunu ilan etmiş oldu. Tebrikler Anadolu Efes.

Karşılaşmanın son dakikaları inanılmaz güzeldi çok güzel bir taktikle süreyi erittiler resmen.
Congratulations with a win, but it's not a reason to post in Turkish in English board Cheesy.

Congrats to Anadolu Efes they played an amazing game with nice tactics and strategy. Micic was amazing in this final four and gaved them the wins in semi and final. Real Madrids bad last minute and i agree with you no body knows what they were doing

Final looks very difficult to predict. IMO, Efes have slightly better chances, but that's one game and everything can happen. As fan of Barca, I don't really want to see Real winning title Cheesy.
About 3rd place game, I don't really get why it's needed. It's usually waste of time because both times don't really want to play it. But I expect that Barca today will find motivation to play.

But I don't think that it's over, Real missed some open 3-pointers, they can't to continue missing for whole game.

good guess, it looked over at half-time, but Real won in the end, and will play Efes in the final
I do not watch Basketball that much lately, but since F4 is in my city, had to watch part of semi-final matches (although my attention was on Premier and saving Everton from relegation)

fights between Olympiakos and Efes fans all over the city today, did not saw Barca and Real fans dough

An unexpected result, given that Barcelona were judged as clear favorites against Real Madrid. Now bookmakers give more moderate predictions for the final and the quotes of the teams are almost equal:

Real Madrid 1,82

Anadolu Efes SK 1,96

In the third place game, Barcelona are clear favorites, but will they be motivated to fight just for bronze?

Barcelona 1.52

Olympiacos Piraeus 2.48

In the first game of the Final Four, Anadolu Efes and Olympiacos played against each other. Even though the game was played in a neutral location in Belgrad, Olympiacos were like they played in their home court. I think that Olympiacos supporters deserve to be celebrated. Larkin and Bryant helped Anadolu Efes stay in the game until the last quarter. Even though he played badly until then, Micic who was the MVP of last season managed to carry the team to the final by a buzzer-beater.

Micic is a huge player and showed why he was the MVP of the euroleague last season. Efes was playing the entire season really bad and was able to somehow get to the top 8 that takes them to playoff and now they are the final and get back to back title
