A double dose of Europe (12/12/09)
Well, I just got back from an awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experience sitting courtside at the Bulls/Warriors game, but that’s a blog post for a different day. Right now I just want to update you on how the Sky have been doing the past two weeks in Europe (…cuz I got lazy and skipped last week).
*FYI: For non-Euroleague games, I’ve gotten most of my stats from Eurobasket.com. Well, it looks as if some parts Eurobasket.com have suddenly turned into a pay site. Some info is no longer available for free. If I can find the info elsewhere, I’ll post them here as I always have. If not, I’ll just update you with the info that I can find, ok? ok!
Let’s get right to it…
