BASKONIA
El Baskonia jugará ante los Grizzlies el 14 de octubre y el 16 contra los Spurs
El club vitoriano puede verse obligado a posponer algún partido de la Liga ACB, cuyo calendario aún está por perfilar
La minigira americana que emprenderá el Baskonia el próximo octubre ya tiene fechas y rivales conocidos. Según informaron ayer fuentes de la Euroliga a El CORREO, la escuadra vitoriana tendrá su primera cita con las estrellas el 14 de octubre, jueves, ante los Grizzlies de Memphis. Será en el FedEx Forum, la cancha que acoge a uno de los equipos con menor potencial competitivo de la NBA, pero con un tirón indiscutible en la figura de Marc Gasol. De hecho, es el interior catalán uno de los pilares de una franquicia que ejerció de trampolín a su hermano mayor, ahora consagrado en los Lakers como ganador de dos anillos.

Del corazón del estado de Tennessee, la expedición baskonista tomará rumbo hacia el Oeste para medirse dos días después a San Antonio Spurs. Sobre el papel, deberá ser un reencuentro con Tiago Splitter si finalmente logra cuadrar su acuerdo con el equipo tejano en las próximas semanas. La posible presencia del todavía capitán azulgrana supondría el broche emotivo al encuentro contra un compendio de estrellas de la talla de Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili o Toni Parker, entre otros. El de San Antonio será el duelo que pondrá fin al periplo del Caja Laboral en Estados Unidos y marcará el momento de la vuelta a Vitoria.

Detalles organizativos

Con varios meses para trabajar en los detalles organizativos de su minigira, el Baskonia se encuentra también pendiente de conocer con exactitud el calendario ACB, tanto en lo que atañe a la celebración de la Supercopa, en la que competirá por su título de Liga, como a las fechas de las primeras jornadas ligueras. De hecho, es más que posible que la experiencia americana se incruste en pleno inicio del torneo, lo cual obligaría al equipo vitoriano a solicitar el cambio de fecha de alguno de sus encuentros.

Spurs may actually lose. Pop doesn't really care about wins in the pre-season. All about player evaluation and teaching.

[TimmehC]

Awkward.

Even if they don't care...they'll still win.

This.

Awkward.

Only if Splitter plays for the visiting team.

[EricB]

If he does, hope he'd be prepared for a boo fest.

[Brazil]

kind of interesting, I hope it's one more good sign of splitter signing

[Seventyniner]

Splitter will show up playing for Caja, and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth among Spurs fans. Then Splitter is going to sign his contract with the Spurs at halftime, switch jerseys, and appear in both halves of the box score. There will be much rejoicing by the Spurs faithful.

[Mel_13]

That might actually be possible. Mel, Bruno? Can we get a ruling on this one?

:lol

Shouldn't that question be in blue?

[lotr1trekkie]

This may be a Spur's gesture of appreciation. Euros are accustomed to their native stars playing with arch-rivals in soccer. Ditto basketball. They actually take pride if Tiaggo becomes a star in the NBA ala Arentina with Manu.

[Quasar]

Just hope no one gets hurt during this match!

[Brazil]

This has been in the works since I heard about it all the way back in April. I wouldn't read into it too much.

ok thx didn't know it

but maybe spurs and caja know since April that Tiago will sign with the spurs.
