Partizanu pripao derbi
U standardno napetoj situaciji Večitih derbija, crno-beli su upisali pobedu protiv crveno-belih (86:81). Večerašnji domaćini pokazali su agresivnu igru i ogroman entuzijazam. Meč su pored faulova Partizana obeležile i tehničke za Zvezdu. Ukupno 6, od kojih dve za Marka Simonovića.
Nenad Zimonjić is Serbia’s interim coach
He is also currently playing the doubles match alongside Viktor Troicki, against Russia during Day 2 of the Davis Cup. The man deserves all the praise.
This round of matches is being played in Niš, and they are the first in which Zimonjić’s prime role is that of coach.
Završena crveno-bela serija
U standardno užarenoj atmosferi hale Aleksandar Nikolić, Zvezda je izgubila od Efesa (72:86). Kraj rekordne evroligaške serije i neizvesnost za dalje.
Crvena zvezda’s record breaking 7-0 series ended with the 8th. They lost to Efes by 72:86, despite the home court advantage. The players of coach Dejan Radonjić were expected to lose momentum at some point, after winning consecutively in both the Euroleague and ABA League. The point was reached tonight.

Kada slika govori više od hiljadu reči. Kratak osvrt na poraz CSKA, polovični učinak Partizana u dve utakmice na Kipru, novi ,,imidž” Miroslava Raduljice. Deo dešavanja koja su obeležila ovaj četvrtak…
Mitrović gets Play of the Night
In my roaming around for some good highlights videos of Round 19, I learned that Crvena zvezda’s captain Luka Mitrović has had the best move of this Euroleague evening.
The young captain who got his title at only 20 (he is 23 now) has had his fair share of injuries, with the last one leaving his game far from the usual level.
Highlights: the Istanbul derby
Aside from a fantastic game played in Belgrade, another important derby was played tonight. This time an actual city derby, between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
The city of Istanbul had a chance to see some impressive moves, in a tense match that ended by 85:80 to Fener. The players of coach Željko Obradović are now 4th in the current Euroleague standings.
Sedma u nizu! Zvezda porazila PAO
Pao je i Pao! U dugo očekivanom duelu između Zvezde i Panatinaikosa, crveno-beli su izašli kao pobednici, rezultatom 72:66. Novi evroligaški skalp i rekordna sedma uzastopna pobeda.
Seven in a row! Crvena zvezda beats Panathinaikos by 72:66 in a red hot match played in Belgrade. Despite lead, followed by the ups and downs in focus, the Red and Whites have gotten to the 4th quarter waiting for the win. The record breaking seven was celebrated in the packed Aleksandar Nikolić Hall. Zvezda is now officially 5th in the Euroleague standings.…
Euroleague: Round 18
After another week of great basketball, here are the final scores of the Euroleague round 18 and the current standings. Round 19 starts on Tuesday (24.1).
…Zvezda iz Izraela nosi pobedu
Zvezda’s win in Tel Aviv
Poražen ponos Izraela! Košarkaši Crvene zvezde, savladali su Makabi sa 67:71 u Tel Avivu. Do potpunog preokreta, došlo je u završnici teške utakmice. U poslednja tri minuta, Zvezda bez primljenog koša.
After a tense match in Tel Aviv, Maccabi lost to Zvezda by 67:71. The team from Belgrade showed off their possibilities even on one of the most demanding foreign grounds. The low point numbers in the first half is an example of a tough backing on both sides. Nevertheless, Maccabi’s mistakes ended up being overwhelming. Tonight’s top scorer Stefan Jović shot 14 points for a PIR of 15. MOTM, Ognjen Kuzmić had a PIR of 17.
CSKA beats Bamberg
In a home match, part of the 18th Euroleague round, CSKA Moscow has saved a win against Brose Bamberg by 85:64.
Despite not having their eyes on court, as Miloš Teodosić was allowed a break with signing autographs and meeting the fans, the Armeytsi were more than able to handle their opponent through the moves of Nando de Colo (26p, 31 PIR), and Kyle Hines (13p, 27 PIR).
