Few domestic leagues in Europe are offering plus/minus-statistics. Two of them are Italian Lega A and German BBL. Even though they only have them in boxscores and not as accumulated stats in player/team profile, it is better than nothing. Out of interest I had a look at oncourt/offcourt plus/minus of selected players from…
Been short of time lately. Here’s a short post about average pace in European basketball leagues. I wrote a similar post about a year ago, which led to the conclusion that indeed the Balkan leagues (Adriatic League, Greek A1) which are said to be halfcourt-dominated leagues, are exactly that. At the same time,…
While Euroleague and EuroCup have been taking a Christmas/New Year’s break, the winter transfer market has been fairly busy. Especially in Greece, where Olympiacos acquired Scoony Penn, while Aris signed Ivan Paunic at the expense of Juan Dixon, and Dragan Labovic at power forward. Finally, no Jeremiah Massey for them. Meanwhile, Maccabi is…
Whenever I watch an ACB game, I am under the impression that players are allowed to let it fly quicker and more frequently from the perimeter than in other European leagues. There are a whole lot of three point specialists that have made a name for themselves in the league over the years,…
Spain: Real Madrid kept its ACB win streak alive, improving to 6 and 0 behind a combined 28 points by the power forward tandem of Jorge Garbajosa and Novica Velickovic. A semi-fit Juan Carlos Navarro had 10 points for Barcelona in crunch time to put aside a tough CajaSol side, as Navarro’s outstanding…
Again I am summarising league action from all around Europe for you, referring to the most important games and just about everything else I take notice of. The last significant domestic basketball league to tip off its regular season was Greek A1, where the first gameday was highlighted by the appearance of a…
The European basketball scene, with its more than a dozen leagues that could be considered as “important”, is too big for all of us to really be experts. Some of us might watch games from many leagues here an then, but those who don’t e.g. get paid for scouting hardly have the chance…
The European basketball transfer summer started slowly, but by the end of August, a large majority of the Euroleague rosters are already complete. Wasn’t it supposed to take a little bit longer? One of the two big remaining questions are A) the future whereabouts of Ricky Rubio, B) what surprise Olympiacos is going…
Another BBL season, another – for the sixth year in a row – new champion. This time EWE Baskets Oldenburg took the crown in the final seconds of Game 5 of the BBL Finals, beating Telekom Baskets Bonn, who had been up by three 23 seconds from the buzzer when their point…
Euroleague has just made official that ALBA Berlin is indeed going to receive the remaining wildcard for the preliminaries. This comes only hours after the news that BC Khimki Moscow will receive the C-licence-wildcard, meaning direct qualification for the Euroleague regular season. The Euroleague Shareholders Executive board is currently holding meetings in Barcelona.…
With all domestic leagues finally coming to an end next week, a serious question arises: Who will receive the Euroleague wildcard? Is it everybody’s darling ALBA Berlin, 2nd in Euroleague attendance last season, is it a club from Greece, where budgets are rather going down than up, is it a team from ACB,…
