Knew I didn't dream it...

Roko starting to roll. I wonder if the starting point guard is out longer than just the one game.

here's where I go to get all my Roko stuff, straight from the horses mouth....I've bookmarked the page and check in twice a week.

Tau-Euroleague Homepage

You can check that link only once a week, because its Euroleague. Euroleague has one game per week for team (either Wednesday or Thursday). Theres also ACB championship (Spanish one), where teams play on weekend. Thats where Roko got his nice statline. Not only nice, he was MVP of the Gameday with 34 value points. Impressive really. Pablo Prigioni the main pointguard became a father few hours before the game and didnt play. Should be playing tomorrow in Euroleague vs AEK though.

Its really not that hard to realise about two leagues thing. All countries have their own leagues. Italy - Lega, Spanish - ACB, Greece - Greek league and so and so on. Best teams from all leagues play in Euroleague (24 teams tournament), a little worser in ULEB Cup (24 teams), then FIBA Eurocup and FIBA Challenge Cup. Both FIBA leagues are really crapy, while Euroleague level is definately the highest. Now Spanish national league is considered the best (or best together with Italian) national championship in Europe.

I hope now you get the view

Yes. They are not only good, they were second in last year Euroleague losing only to unstopable Maccabi (with Jasikevicius) in the final. This year they still have Scola (and another great players), but Tau lost Macijauskas and Calderon to NBA and their coach Ivanovic, who was the main part of their victories in last seasons. But still Tau is one of best teams in Europe.

Last year in Spanish champ Tau was also second, losing series 3-2 to Real Madrid in very stupid manner having 7 points lead with 47 seconds to go in final game...

Have you really watched Ukic clip from Euroleague Game3? Because I havent seen any comments, so maybe you simply missed it.

Bad result...but what the important thing is new Tau Ceramica`s coach is Velimir Perasovic. Perasovic is also Croatian, also born and played for Split just like Roko. 2 years ago when Roko was playing there Perasovic was GM of the club.....Ukic will see a lot of playing time under him, and won`t be benched after just one mistake.

[Porn_Player]

yup everythink surrounding the raps seems to be gettin a helping hand denver with there injuries roko and his new coach ... we jus need 2 sort out the most important thing now... the actual team

[shookem]

Oh no! Roko gets hurt! , although it doesn't seem too bad. Still a shot to the kidneys and a night in the hospital, that sucks.
It's too bad because tomorrow is Tau versus Benetton, aka Ukic versus Slokar. I was looking forward to this one, all well.

[SkywalkerAC]

Suffered a hematoma in one of his kidneys. Must have hurt like the dickens (which I hear is quite a lot). Will miss a few games.

[aizn]

damn, he's prob a warrior so he'll b back in no time

[speedythief]

Roko is out for a month. His kidney is injured, not just bruised.

Ukic is back after injury. 3 days ago he scored 6pts and had 2rebs and 4asis in 17min. for easy win, and today he was leading Tau scorer with 11pts. in just 12min. for victory over their bigest rival Barcelona. Now Tau is alone at top of the Spanish champhionship.
