[QUOTE=la bomba]I hear moni fanan has finally retired and shelef taken over.Is this good or bad ?[/QUOTE]
Moni Fanan left because Maccabi believed a new philosophy was necessary and stated the goal of player development over recruitment. Sherf is still with maccabi but we've all had a our Sherf in our family or at work and he's not going to be accomplishing anything.
In other news Ralph Klein died, he was coach of maccabi and won one of the greatest matches in sports ever played, the championship over the USSR was bigger than the 79 miracle.

Re: Israeli Basketball
Things are getting hot for maccabi, maccabi lost seven in a row including being knocked from a preseason tournament by Galil. I always thought maccabi wasted their domestic talent and it looks like it's finally caught up to them.

Re: Israeli Basketball
Maccabi lost to Galil 77-79, lmao.
Brian Roberts dropped 24 on them.

[QUOTE=b.jerk]I think Carlos Arroyo and his Puerto Rico pride is going to take a hit with Maccabi. In a month or two he's going to look human and the spectators will either by saying that he wasn't any good or the guard play in the bsl was underrated. Regardless, Maccabi is no olympiacos.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I don't know where this Arroyo is so good nonsense came from. I mean I bet he'll probably shine with Maccabi (or at least do better than he did on the Magic). But he's really not that impressive of a player.

Re: Israeli Basketball
Carlos Arroyo wasn't an elite point guard in the nba but he was one of the better ones. It's a different game, the nba is a slow jogging/walking game where players isolate and do their thing. The game in Israel is all about speed and a lot of nba players would struggle like Arroyo. There's some inconsistency from game to game but I'm surprised with the talent level this year and I didn't think it be this good this fast. The adjustment Galil made to Arroyo in two weeks was incredible.

Re: Israeli Basketball
I'm saying now Pini Gershon's second go around with maccabi will be a failure. Maccabi has the talent nba teams would salivate over but management is incompetent and they can't manage today's team. Maccabi will suffer more loses with Pini Gershon than if maccabi kept Birenboim. Maccabi didn't have to deal with the same level of competition in his glory days. It will be interesting which team(s) will fill maccabi's void.
I will only retract if Gershon builds the season around their two most talented players Lior Eliyahu and Casspi.

Re: Israeli Basketball
Lior Eliyahu caught cibona with their pants down in a statistical sense. It was an impressive performance, but he needs to be more of a finisher. He could of had more of an impact during the end of the game.

Re: Israeli Basketball
Bnei Hasharon defeats Maccabi Tel-Aviv despite Arroyo's 21/7/7 performance further showing how ****ty of a team Maccabi is. They can't even beat the 6th best team in Israel. :lol

Re: Israeli Basketball
Carlos Arroyo lost the game, he physically wasn't fast enough to stay in front of the bnei hasharon guards on defense. What happened was Bnei Hasharon is now getting some production from it's younger inexperienced players that they didn't get at the start of the season. For the last three years the bsl teams started weak because of inexperienced but finished strong. The same thing is happening this year.
