What a group for Partizan OMG (group of dead)

And I really can't understand why France have 3 teams in qualification??? Their club basket sucks

 

[Interrail]

Wow, group C is awesome

 

[Grinch]

C is the group of death!

I am hoping, that Brose Baskets Bamberg (quite near from my homecity) will reach the next round, but I don´t expect this.

Partizan really didn't have any luck this year. Maccabi (again), Real, Efes, Armani......I simply don't know which team is better than which It will be extremely hard to pass the group. I even see a 5/5 score for each team, and then the baskets would make the difference.

Congratulations to Galatasaray for entering the Euroleague

Galatasaray should've been in a group with us (Partizan), but as we already have one team here (Andalou Efes), Spirou Basket from will be our rival.

Good luck to Galatasaray in the championship, I liked the style of their play

I will root for Panathinaikos (after my own team, Partizan of course ) as well, and I think you have good chances to defend the European title The biggest contenders for the trophy are, imo, : Panathinaikos, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
