Sadly, they'll play Real in the Final, hopefully they can retain the trophy in Piraeus (not Madrid). Barca lost 67-74. http://basketball.eurobasket.com/Eu...gh_Regal_Barcelona_to_reach_the_Finals/316526
Barca is in the final four again, plays Real Madrid on May 16 in Milan: http://www.euroleague.net/competition/teams/showteam?clubcode=BAR
Nope. Under the heading "Euroleague Basketball" it's listed specifically as... "Final Four, Semifinal: CSKA Moscow vs. Maccabi Electra" (2014) ... and it's on a two hour window, from 9:30am-11:30am (Pacific) And when I searched for other "Euroleague Basketball" content I only get one for Sunday @ 1:00pm (Pacific)... "Final Four, Final: Teams TBA" (2014) ... and that's it. No repeats. Only the two games shown live. I remember watching the final on NBA TV a few years back the last time Barca won it. Although that was shown on a slight delay. NBA TV had the opening tip off as the second half was just ending live (I was listening on Radio Catalunya). I watched the delay since I knew Barca had won.
Euroleague update, we are in one of two the Top 16 brackets and all teams will play the other home and away (14 games against 7 other clubs in your bracket), top 4 in each bracket advance to playoffs (a best of 7 series) where #4 from one bracket plays #1 in the other bracket and so on. The four winners from those then go to the final four in Madrid to play a semi and if lucky a final. The bad news is that we just lost to Real Madrid (at their place) and are just 3-3 so far in the 14 game bracket. If it ended today we'd finish in 4th in our bracket and just advance to play the winner of the other bracket, currently CSKA is just ahead of Olympiacos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014–15_Euroleague We're also in 4th place currently in ACB Liga: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014–15_ACB_season We do have a hot NBA prospect, 19 year old Croatian wing man: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Mario-Hezonja-6392/
He's declared for the draft and projected eighth best prospect. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12750431/mario-hezonja-fc-barcelona-declare-nba-draft
Hey, love seeing other signs of life in here, Os, the good thing is we'll get some money and he actually isn't a huge part of the team just yet, more being drafted on upside. Even better news is that since I posted when we were 3-3 in our (one of two) Euroleague super-sized groups, we have won 8 straight and are now tied with LPB at 11-3 on top of our group (behind them on point differential, which, unlike in football I believe is decisive here rather than head to head but not totally sure). But then the top 4 in each group faced each other for a place in the final four and as 2nd in our group we lost to 3rd placed Olimpiakos Piraeus, final four is not set with them, Real Madrid, CSKA and Fenerbache. 3 games to be played to crown a winner, pity we won't be there. In Liga ACB play we are in 3rd behind Unicaja and LBP.
I'm just glad he is not with the Pistons (where he was often projected) I've read too much about bad attitude and shaky defense and JR Smith 2.0 to want to see a club I root for pick him.
Man this thread is dead but what the heck, Barca just beat Real Madrid again in Euroleague Top 16 group play, Barca now 3rd, Real 4th in group of 8. Top 4 in each group play the other group's top 4 1v4, 2v3, etc. So we'd play Lokomotiv Kuban. http://www.flashscore.com/basketball/europe/euroleague/ At least four first teamers came out to support:
FC Barcelona Lassa ended LPB's four year reign as Copa del Rey ACB champions by defeating them in the Final on Sunday 92-90 in Las Palmas. LPB actually had a chance to win it with a three pointer in the final seconds but missed. Siiiiiii @FCBbasket !!! Vamooooooooss!!!!

I don't follow it, but just couldn't escape this controversy on CdR final. Refs completely blew calls twice in the minute/seconds (one for each side) and Madrid are furious
That's one of the craziest and most controversial finishes to a hoops game I've ever seen. Probably right up there with the '72 Olympic final. Barca were definitely screwed over on the non-foul breakaway layup. A bit tougher to tell on the goal-tending call. What is certain is that the shot never would have gone in since the ball hit the rim on the way up. The question is does the ball hit the backboard before the player touches the ball. I personally would not have awarded goal-tending. So yes, I would say both teams got screwed but had Barca been awarded the foul call they may have cemented the game at the free throw line. Then again, with so much pressure on those shots he may have missed one or both. Great win for Barca, more so with the game being played on Madrid's home court. Victory over LPB is ALWAYS a great reason for a thread bump.
Yeah, that's no goal tending. Ball hit the rim first and was outside the range of the hoop itself. It was going away from it. It was a rebound. It's crazy they did a video review and still called it the wrong way. I haven't read about any other reasoning. The missed foul on the Barca player was pretty bad too. Nowadays that's probably a flagrant foul. But that wasn't reviewed through video.
