Greetings basketball fans,
In the last weekend (11-13) in Istanbul it took place the Euroleague final4. Lets start from the semis:
In the first semi final between CSKA and Panathinaikos the winner was CSKA while the greens had their complaints about the refs. The final score was 66-64 with Kirilenko being the first scorer for CSKA with 17 while the Lithuania veteran Sarunas Jasikevicius scored 19 points.

I weas expecting La Bomba to lift Barcelona to the title the way he's done the past few years, but Vassoulis Spanoulis just won't be denied. Glad he got something going after his NBA stint didn't work out so well.
