Cholet is on two championship finals, they are in the top of the league budget, even if Batum and Parker have signed to competitors, the titles are won at the end of the season, they will be gone for a long time The current situtation Cholet is not ideal, many injured in the preseason, it was difficult for the coach to identify problems to be corrected for every game the team was not complete After the game last night (I return) or there was only one absent, the coach thinks he has found the solution, players will be cut (1 or 2), Chandler is not in danger, one week of an important deadline is not joy 22/09/11 8pts (2/13 1/6 FG3 3/6 FT) 8rbs 2st 2to 1ass http://www.jump-shot.net/boxscore.php?id=29334 Maccabi is a big European team, finalist 2011 Euroleague, play in a different category, you just have a look at their roster, they international players, with 2 absent (Halperin and Macvan), Tel Aviv would get 25 -30 easily wins NBA Difficult for Chandler who is not a soloist to play well when his team is largely dominated Last Friendly game Saturday
Rpd49 seems to be contributing updates and thoughts on Chandler P. and his international play quite well without filling up 5 pages of nonsense back and forth about how much better the Euroleague players and league are in comparison to the NBA. There is a thread that is about Donatas M. getting cut from the Lithuanian national team and probably 90% of that thread is useless opinions on the weakness of the NBA vs Euroleague rather than Montejunas at all. You realize that you will never win that argument. Its comparing Apples to Oranges. If you have beef with Rockets fans that dont stream games in different languages from Shady websites that will probably give their computers malware then fine, but realize that most of the people on this board are on here because they are Rockets fans and probably dont care to know the 13th man at the end of the bench of some Turkish team, and really just want to keep up with their team the Rockets. Its the world we live in, so stop feeling so enlightened because you know where to stream Chinese basketball games.
Hi, UPDATE 23/11/2011 11pts (5/12 1/4 FG3) 4 rbs 2 st 2 to 1 as http://www.jump-shot.net/boxscore.php?id=29337 The hard work begins Thursday, Preliminary round of the Euroleague, Vilnius in Lithuania There should be links streaming, I will try to find the match with English commentary The match will take place at 9:00 am at home
If Cholet & Rytas advance they will face each other next. That would be an opportunity to see Parsons, Newley, and Valanciunas compete in the same game.

Parsons played his first actual official game. This was in Euroleague qualification. The team that wins the series advances to the next round of Euroleague qualification. The team that loses goes down to the Eurocup level. Here is the box score from the game: http://www.euroleague.net/main/results/showgame?gamecode=1&seasoncode=EQR11
Well, I would not call Cibona good competition. They definitely do play in the Euroleague most years, but this year I think that they will for sure be in the Eurocup. I mean, for example, last year they played in the Euroleague and went 0-10. They didn't even win Croatian League (quite a low level league by European standards). This year, I think that they do have a better team than they did last year, but still not close to be good enough to qualify for Euroleague IMO. So I would not necessarily describe it as good competition. By European standards, Cibona is a pretty mediocre level club.
You're uncompromising Cibona qualified for the Euroleague 19 years on, they have won 2 times 0-10 last year, because of serious financial problems They do not qualify this year, with half Vilnius home, they have no chance
What they did in the past is irrelevant to the discussion of their current level as in the level of competition they provide their opponents currently.
Cholet lost their first game in the French league. Parsons didn't play. Not sure why. Maybe Rdp49 can give us some insight. Googles translate says "Chandler Parsons, in a tracksuit, is spread abroad for the first game of the season." Whatever that means. Motiejunas played a few more games. Won a bunch, lost a bunch. No boxscores. Played decent in the Polish supercup. Didn't watch anything else. Llull had 15 points (5/7 FG, 1/2 3pters, 2/2FT) & 5 assists in Real Madrid's first ACB game.
