The day I cut Aaron White

February 3, 2019
1 min read

I like Zalgiris player Aaron White. He has been the first player I wanted in my EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge team. Unfortunately Zalgiris is living a bad season and Aaron White is not playing a good basketball in these weeks. In EuroLeague R21, for the first time, I put him on bench. now I make another move: I cut Aaaron White and I replace him with Olimpia Milano player James Nunnally. That’s life!

Midweek in Lithuania: Zalgiris Kaunas – AX Milano

November 26, 2018
1 min read

Now AX Armani Milano does not look so strong as Italian newspapers have written until last week. The defeat suffered in Barcelona showed that Milano has some problems. The question is: can Simone Pianigiani boys get a playoff spot in EUROLEAGUE? Probably this match in Kaunas will give the answer.

EuroLeague – round 10
ZALGIRIS KAUNAS – MILANO: dreams die in Kaunas
Zalgiris (3-6) needs a win against Milano (6-3) in order to start the race to a playoff spot. Last week Milano lost in Barcelona and the the red & white team got a lucky win against Cremona in the Italian League. Zalgiris Kaunas has a poor record in EuroLeague, but, you know, it’s just november. You can follow the live radio streaming of the match with italian online radio stadion clusterFM.

You are a lucky boy, while we have Zalgiris Kaunas Vasilje Micic. Ok, we are jocking, Micic is a good player, but, you know, there are so many good point guards on the market. Micic is good, but, it’s only 24th in the point guard ranking.

EuroLeague Round 11 Odds & Betting Tips

December 5, 2017
2 min read

We are 2 days to Zalgiris Kaunas – Panathinaikos the opening game of EuroLeague Round 11. With the help of OddsPortal.com Let’s check the odds for the upcoming EuroLeague Round 11 games.

📁 THURSDAY, DEC 7
19:00 Zalgiris Kaunas – Panathinaikos
20:00 Bamberg – CSKA Moscow
20:05 Maccabi Tel Aviv – Valencia
20:30 Baskonia – Malaga
20:45 Milano – Khimki

📁 FRIDAY, DEC 8
19:00 Crvena Zvezda – Anadolu Efes
20:00 Olympiacos – Real Madrid
21:00 Barcelona – Fenerbahce

Kaunas, Lithuania, EU
🏀 Zalgiris Kaunas 2.15 – Panathinaikos 1.71
Zalgiris (5-5) face Pana (7-3), one of the best team of the league. As Nick Calates says to euroleague.net, Pana is a top team. The point is that usually Zalgiris win against weak teams, but suffer a lo with top team. Our tip: Panathinaikos @ 1.71 stake 2/10

Bamberg, Germany, EU
🏀 Brose Bamberg 3.47 – CSKA Moscow 1.31
It’s another match where the away team is clear favorite. The Russian team have a top player, Nando De Colo, voted VTB United League MVP for November as sportando.com reports. By the way Brose (5-5) has few chances against CSKA (8-2), but you should never underrate Brose Bamberg. Our tip: Avoid

Tel Aviv, Israel
🏀 Maccabi Tel Aviv 1.40 – Valencia 2.97
I  am a Maccabi fans, you know, anyway, I don’t see this game as an easy game for the yellow & blu, do you? Maccabi (6-4) and Valencia (3-7) both have the same target: the postseason. Obviously Maccabi have something more than Valencia, but it’s sure they will beat Valencia on Wednesday night. Our tip: Avoid

Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, EU
🏀 Baskonia 1.31 – Unicaja Malaga 4.47
Do you want to know my opinion about Baskonia 2017/2018? I think something in the club is out of order, I don’t understand their way of working. On the other side, I like Unicaja, an interesting team. Our tip: Malaga (+7.5) @ 1.89 stake 3/10

Milan, Italy, EU
🏀 Milano 1.88 – Khimki 1.93
Milano (3-7) has loaned Simone Fontecchio to Serie A rivals Vanoli Cremona, as sportando.com reports. It would be useful against Khimki (6-4).  Our tip: Khimki (+1.5) @ 1.85 stake 5/10

Belgrade, Serbia
🏀 Crvena Zvezda 1.68 – Efes 2.25
Are you sure that Crvena Zvezda (3-7) are stronger than Anadolu Efes (3-5)? We are not. Our tip: Avoid

Athens, Greece, EU
🏀 Olympiacos 1.55 – Real Madrid 2.48
Olympiacos (8-2) need a win to stay at the top of the table, while Real Madrid (5-5) need a win to forget the loss suffered with Crvena Zvezda last wee. Our tip: Real Madrid (+4.5) @ 1.88 stake 2/10

Barcelona, Spain, EU
🏀 Barcelona 1.95 – Fenerbahce 1.86
This is Barcelona (4-6) is the same strange team as last season. Strange, not winning. Fenerbache (7-3) should always be seen as favotite in every EuroLeague game this season. By the way, enjoy the Pierre Francoual article on Fenerbahce on courtsidediaries.com  Our tip: Fenerbahce @ 1.86 stake 3/10

We are just 2 days to Zalgiris Kaunas – Anadolu Efes the opening game of EuroLeague Round 9. With the help of OddsPortal.com Let’s check the odds for the upcoming EuroLeague Round 9 games.

Thursday, Nov 23
19:00 Zalgiris Kaunas – Efes
20:00 Brose Bamberg – Valencia
20:45 AX Milano – Olympiacos
21:00 Barcelona – Maccabi Tel Aviv
21:00 Crvena Zvezda – Baskonia
Friday, Nov 24
18:45  Fenerbahce – Khimki Moscow
20:00 Panathinaikos – Real Madrid
20:45 Unicaja Malaga – CSKA Moscow

Kaunas, Lithuania, EU
🏀 Zalgiris Kaunas 1.66 – Anadolu Efes 2.24
Zalgiris (4-4) face Efes (2-6). It seems to be a good chance for the Lithuanian team. The points is that  Zalgiris has much better shooting percentages as euroleague.net write in their preview. Our tip: Zalgiris @ 1.66 stake 2/10

Bamberg, Germany, EU
🏀 Brose Bamberg 1.62 – Valencia 2.33
Bamberg (4-4) have the best european coach: Andrea Trinchieri. Anyway they are no the best european team, so we think Bamberg can suffer the basketball played by Valencia. On the other side, we have some doubts about Valencia. They are a strong team, for sure, but this team have never got our heart this season. Our tip: Avoid

Milano, Italy, EU
🏀 AX Milano 2.48 – Olympiacos 1.5
Milano (3-5) are suffering also in Italian Serie A this season, but we have to remember the Simone Pianigiani boys won two Euroleague games last week. Olympiacos (6-2) is one of the best team this season. Our question is: can AX Milano stop – somehow – the Greek team? We don’t find the answer. Our tip: Avoid

Barcelona, Spain, EU
🏀 Barcelona 1.43 – Maccabi Tel Aviv 2.85
Barcelona (3-5) want to forget the terrible 2016/2017 season. Maccabi (5-3) have the same target. We choose Maccabi Tel Aviv, always. Our tip: Maccabi (+11.5) @ 1.30 stake 3/10

Belgrade, Serbia
🏀 Crvena Zvezda 2.53 – Baskonia 1.53
Crvena Zvezda (2-6) are at the bottom of EuroLeague standing, while Baskonia (3-5) have a better position. Anyway, in or mind, Baskonia 2017/2018 is something misterious, as Valencia.  Our tip: Avoid

Istanbul, Turkey
🏀 Fenerbahce 1.22 – Khimki 4.32
Fenerbahce (5-3) are better than Khimki (5-3). Anyway you know our point of view: never underrate the Russians! Never!. Our tip: Avoid

Athens, Greece, EU
🏀 Panathinaikos 1.70 – Real Madrid 2.17
Panathinaikos (5-3) vs Real Madrid (5-3) is our game of the week. The question is: can Real Madrid stop Nikos Pappas? The answer is: no, they can not. Our tip: Panathinaikos @ 1.70 stake 2/10

Malaga, Spain, EU
🏀 Unicaja Malaga 3.63 – CSKA Moscow 1.29
Malaga (3-5) face the best EuroLeague team, CSKA Moscow (6-2). Bookmakers have no doubts here, we agree with them: CSKA will win this game, it will be a strong battle, but, at the end of the battle, CSKA will win. Our tip: CSKA @ 1.29 stake 4/10

By the way, on Thursday, November 9, Olimpia Milano will play the most interesting game of the week, as Milano – Zalgiris Kaunas is a top game, imho. Let’s start to think about this match.
