The Nonsense Thread

[montoya10]

Yes, it's astonishing how he got lost at PAO last season, and it looks like it could be a struggle again. But with Spanoulis and Jasikevičius gone, I expect both Tepić and Calathes to play more than they did last night.

I still like the chance that he may turn into a versatile player playing multiple positions, a reminiscent of Diamantidis, although that would be an extreme point for his career..
Anyway, for a player of his size, he has a shining court vision, a nice first step and good rebounding ability.. I expect him to blossom in a couple of season, but I'm not sure if this will be in PAO

Yes, supposedly he is not on good terms with Messina. It's quite possible that he ends up only being their third option at PF, behind Reyes and Garbajosa, and Garbajosa only played eight minutes himself this week. And then you also get moments when none of them are on the court, with Suarez playing at PF, or Tomić and Fischer playing together. That's a lot of competition, so I hope Veličković can find his place.

Messina is a strict coach towards his players and Veličković is a very emotional, even aggressive character that really doesn't help him stay out of arguing with his coach.
But this season's Real Madrid team will really struggle along the way, and I won't be surprised to see multiple rotation changes throughout the season. Veličković will surely get his chance, and if only he could limit the number of three pointers ( he takes too many, he is a bit undersized for his position and this makes it more understandable, though ) he takes, he'll be fine.

You are absolutely charming this evening

And I can tell everyone now that your head is waaaaayyyy waaaayyyy bigger than mine! This man is an absolute genius! :snooker:

It better pass! I am serious about coming over there and having words with your sore throat! It needs to learn when to behave itself!

Seriously now, aren't I always?

Now now... don't exaggerate, nothing could be further from the truth

It will... It will... Man, you're so bossy!!!

Goodnight everyone

[montoya10]

Goodnight cue1, goodnight everyone

[very.tee]

Seriously now, aren't I always?

Now now... don't exaggerate, nothing could be further from the truth

It will... It will... Man, you're so bossy!!!

Goodnight everyone

Yes of course! Mister Charming! Oh, no this is better.... Prince Charming!

I wasn't exaggerating As well as being a charming genius, ladies and gentlemen, cue1 is also very modest

Yes, well! Something must be done! :humph: We can't have a sore throat annoying cue1 now, can we? :snooker:

Will you stop it? This is very embarrassing

The throat is better this morning, so give it a rest

Have a good day all

[montoya10]

Wow, 16-year old hitting a 147!!

Now, if only that was televised and I saw it

[very.tee]

Hahaha, sorry cue1! That was soooo corny, what was I thinking?!

And Mark Williams made a 147 too!

I've only been away one night! What's happening?!

I'm onto another assignment which will be finished this evening.
Later on, I will revise some sections of a book to get help for another assignment.

Maybe, if both are done quickly, I may spend some time on my project or think about a possible project idea, or get prepared for next week's quiz..

It looks like I have a very comfortable day, right?

[montoya10]

Well, it looks like I've got stuck in a dilemma..

I have got no base about music at all, and would love to play an electric guitar. So, I have made some searches on the internet and tried to see where I can start from.
But there many supporters of the idea that classic guitar should be played first, regardless from the style of music you'd like to play later. This is confusing.

And even if I decide to get going, buying an electric guitar is going to be a pain, considering the tons of criteria they're throwing at you..

[montoya10]

I'm left alone in this one

Never mind, I'm fine, at least, I hope to be fine, back-to-back busy weeks are about to arrive

I'm left alone in this one

We can say a word or two about tonight's games if you like.

I have a choice of two games on TV, but not the one I really want to watch, which is Partizan-Khimki. So I guess a stream will have to do.

Of course, I'd love to.

Looking at the fixtures, I can say that Partizan-Khimki is the most competitive game we can watch tonight on paper. The other matches are likely to be one-sided a bit.. But tomorrow night is a lot more promising, and I'll have the chance to have a look at PAO-CSKA game

I also looked at Partizan's current squad and saw that Olivier Lafayette is there, a player I watched and fancied his playing style in NBA Summer League a couple of months ago.. Nathan Jawai is also a former NBA player that received very little playing time in total..

Finally, I tip Bojan Bogdanovic to be an important player should he polish his skills

Yes, although Lietuvos Rytas against Montepaschi Siena could be another close one. I'd love to watch the PAO-CSKA game as well, but unfortunately it clashes with the Olimpija game. It could be quite interesting actually, with the possibility of CSKA starting with an 0-2 score. They have a tricky schedule, Valencia away in the 3rd round, then Efes Pilsen away in the 5th. You'd think they need to win at least one of these three games, or they could find themselves in danger of not even promoting from the group.

Lafayette didn't impress at all last week, completely failing to set Partizan's usual composed pace on offense. But of course he'd only arrived a couple of days before the game, so he can only get better. He has a difficult job though, having to replace McCalebb.

It's doubtful whether Partizan can play to the same standard as last season. Jawai is not bad, but again, he has to replace Marić. But I think think their biggest problem is their failure to replace Roberts, at least for this game, as James Gist can't play until next week. Still, they'll be tough to crack at home, and I'm looking forward to seeing the great atmosphere again.

Finally, I tip Bojan Bogdanovic to be an important player should he polish his skills

Yes, Bogdanović is quite insane, he scored 33 point for Cibona against Olimpija on Sunday, and he'll be a key player against Fenerbahce tomorrow as well.

Not to be confused with Bogdan Bogdanović of course, the youngster from Partizan, who is unlikely to get the chance tonight.

Efes Pilsen against Valencia also, maybe. I still back CSKA and think that they can beat PAO, which shall only happen if Siskauskas steps up, however.
Looking at the performance of our local club, Efes Pilsen, I feel free to call that one an easy win for CSKA..

His task is really tough, and the integration time for European basketball will take some time, which will not make things easier for him at this stage. Still, he looked to be a good ball handler, and a good passer.

It's a pity that we are never able to reach a similar standard of athmosphere, however, I should note that Partizan is a very extreme sample, probably
I don't know what to expect from such a young team, but I won't be surprised at all if they pull out another Top 8 finish

Not to be confused with Bogdan Bogdanović of course, the youngster from Partizan, who is unlikely to get the chance tonight.

I had to check their names twice, before I finally got sure of who is who
I think I should use their nationalities next time to choose between them

[montoya10]

Anyway, I will try to find a stream for Caja Laboral's game and see if Bjelica gets some decent playing time, see you later, sir
