Can confirm there are quite a lot of people here, but yes. Pretty spread out.
I’m guessing it would help the atmosphere of London weren’t getting creamed.
Is there a EuroCup rule that states the can’t play music during play? Feels like that would help.

I’m here too… probably slightly less people here than an average Copper Box game, but it’s a much bigger arena so the atmosphere isn’t as good.
There’s one fan from Montenegro (with the two Montenegro flags) who’s hilarious.
As for the game, Lions are really struggling to keep up. We’re lucky to only be down 12 at HT. Although, believe it or not, Lions actually outscored then in Q2 so maybe there’s a small bit of hope.

Lions have been good. I’d cut koufos and use the money elsewhere…

Impressive comeback at least.
Thought the other team’s movement was light years ahead at times. Especially 1st quarter.

Lions can get away with a slow start in the BBL, but not in the Eurocup.
They were however much better with Sam Dekker back, so hopefully they will have learnt something from tonights game.

Buducnost are a really high level team. Comfortable win for them. Last season they finished third in the Adriatic League, behind the two Serbian Euroleague teams.

Lions have been good. I’d cut koufos and use the money elsewhere… Who'd have thought we'd be discussing potentially dropping the player with 10 years NBA experience?! Of course we don't know how much of the player budget Koufos is getting, but assuming it's a significant amount I can understand your opinion. He's putting in some decent performances, but enough to justify the money? Lions are getting better value out of Soko and Dekker that's for sure (yes I know they'll likely be on a substantial salary too). |

Good to see a spirited fightback against a very strong Buducnost team. Impressed that Lions are really making an effort to put on a decent game night experience now. Loved the Brass Band!

Lions are getting better value out of Soko and Dekker that's for sure (yes I know they'll likely be on a substantial salary too). It's weird, and it isn't IMO. A lot of the problem for me is caused by the injury to Philip. That's led the Lions backcourt to look a bit of mess - Nelson and Best are both good players but clearly far happier playing as a two than a one. And Hruban is a four playing as a combo two a lot of the time. Koufos is good. But he's good for 25 minutes, 10 points and 8 rebounds in the EuroCup and as a likely top three salary that just feels a poor use of resources and import spots when Sharma isn't miles behind him. Too late now, but with hindsight and knowing about Philip's injury surely Lions try and get someone like Aaron Geramipoor or Ben Lawson as a second British five and spend the Koufos money on an experienced EuroCup PG. |

Lions need to use that final import slot on an import guard who only plays EC (as they did last season with Teague). Devon the only natural PG and I'm not sure he suits Lions style particularly well.

It's clear as daylight that the PG spot is the big weakness both in euro and BBL. It limits others productivity as well.

I agree. If Koufos was playing less minutes he might play with a bit more energy. Lions have 4 players who are listed as centres. They need to share the minutes more. |

I can’t afford euroleague.tv, so have to hope it is streamed on Bet365. Asvel have already won two of the four games they have played, mainly because they have an ex Rider playing for them😉
