Over/under on how many devastating injuries Rudy will go down with? I'd say over 3. :oldlol:

Some really good match ups in this game. I'd like to see AK47's defense on Weems.

There's no indication of the broadcast on NBA TV. It's scheduled to play Old School Monday all afternoon. What's going on people?

PG Teodosic, Gordon, Shved
SG Mejia, Shved, Gordon, Voronov
SF Siskauskas, Vorontsevic, Kirilenko, Kurbanov
PF Khryapa, Kirilenko, Lavrinovic, Vorontsevic
C Krstic, Kaun, Sokolov, Lavrinovic

Zalgiris:
PG Lawson, Kalnietis, Collins
SG Milaknis, Delininkaitis, Popovic, Collins, Kalnietis, Weems..?
SF Weems, Kuzminskas.
PF Jankūnas, Klimavicius
C Javtokas, Rakovic

So is it on NBA TV today - Monday 10/17?

No clue why it's not on their schedule, but you can always watch it on ESPN3 if NBATV doesn't end up showing it:

I haven't seen CSKA with Kirilenko, but from what I've seen of Zalgiris, they play Collins and Lawson together a good bit

Zalgiris starting Lawson, Delininkaitis, Weems, Jankunas, Javtokas
CSKA starting Teodosic, Siskauskas, Kirilenko, Khryapa, Krstic

AK47 guarding Weems to start off. 4 guys who played in the NBA this past year on court right now.

not on NBATV but Jordan game 1986 first round against the celtics is

this really makes me miss the NBA :(
