EUROLEAGUE FINAL FOUR
Barça lost, don´t ask me te score. It was something like 75-80+. Barça had 11 point leads in the first and second halfs respectively. That much as for Ivanovic collapses and it´s not like I didn´t warn you about 8 hours ago... He absolutely lost control when the referees started their "whistling concert". Yes, their were strange decisions, EVERY CSKA penetartion towards the basket was called a foul and yes I am about to freak out myself but he´s the coach, he has an influence on the players and je should mabe have stayed mora calmed. Then again, here´s the fact:
34 fouls against Barça
21(!!!) against the Russians!
I mean, WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT? With 8 or 9 guys having played for Barça, that´s about 4 fouls on average per player!!! IN 40 MINUTES!!! That´s a joke!! Always the same story by FIBA and their referees. Unbearable. I am telling you. There you are watching the game with some excitement and they start all those weird calls and all that crap. Can we stop that? Will there ever be a damn Euroleague Final with no influence by the guys in orange (thanx for ruining the night guys)? For f*cks sake!!!! One year you get robbed the title with an illegal block in the last second, the next one referreing takes you out of the game when you have been controlling it for most part of it (and yes, you shouldn´t allow a 13-0 run no matter what)... I can´t talk about this anymore.
Enough, I think I´ll just jump into the Thames River tonight!!! Cheers
P.D. Nice game by Shammond, horrible one by Navarro (I don´t like the tendency his career is taking by the way...), Basile s*cked in the second half(isn´t he a European champion with his national team where was the experience here????), Fucka couldn´t hit a jumper to safe his life but he was quite good on defense with a ton of blocks...
To be played tonight in Prague. BARÇA playing MOSCOW tonight. The odds are not high that we beat the Russians. Us the clear underdogs, the good thing is we have not much preassure and we've still some good players even lacking so firepower down low...
I'll do my preview a bit later, for now, here's the guy who could be a key factor: Ivanovic, the coach who has not even figured out our rotation yet. Besides he is a Master in "Big Game Collapses" (and I am talking about game 5 of a a "Best of 5" Final here, winning by about 10 with one minute to go, at home and end up loosing!!!). Yep, that's our coach, guys. Knock on wood that he takes a limetea or something before the game.
Random cool fact about the game:
- Russian female supporters in Prague!! I mean, does it get ANY better than this in terms of supporter quaaaaaaaaality at a Sports event? A reporter needs to be sent over to catch a ton of pics of Czech and Russian birds, so we can run a poll afterwards (or even a bracket!) and vote for the cutest!! That would be awesome. I'm about to call the Spanish press and see what can be arranged. I'm getting excited here... Gosh!!
