Game Blog: Spurs vs. Panathinaikos - Preseason

[MrChug]

My little lady just won tickets from WOAI @ Indigo Joe's and we on the way tonight! Scouting report? The ones on all the mainstream sights offer no help whatsoever...I know Spaz (Spanoulis) is playing, but what else should I know?

[Obstructed_View]

I thought he was hurt.

Even without Spandex: PantyTacos by 8.

I thought he was hurt.

I hope so...he's not exactly a pleasure to watch.

[Kori Ellis]

The player I like on Panathinaikos is Mike Batiste. He should be in the NBA, but I guess he's happy there and making good money.

[meta2007]

He is a weaker Okur!

I've seen him play a lot. He could easily be a backup in the NBA. He's much smaller than Okur. I don't get the comparison.

Played a year with the Grizz. He didn't do so bad. His career high in points (18) came against the Spurs.

Yes but he not best player of team. Diamantidis is better than him and Spanoulis better than both them.

Spanoulis not play he have rupture on foot bottom and also hurt calf muscle.

I didn't say he was the best player on the team. I think Diamantidis is. I just said he was the player that I LIKE on the team.

You can watch him closely tonight.

I watched him a lot in the last few years. I like him as a player. I just didn't understand your comparison to Okur, when Okur is so much bigger.

[meta2007]

He has perimeter players' range.

Coach Obradovic say Spanoulis now best Greek player after Eurobasket.

[Indazone]

Is this going to be televised anywhere or is ther a webcast?

ERT1 as tv I think

So not helpful.

[T Park]

Mike batiste is a very solid player, and would more than likely be the starting C on the Spurs.

Hes that good.

But that contradicts Coach Obradovic, so you must be wrong.

Ok... Is it possible to watch this over the internet somehow?

No because Spanoulis better player than Oberto. Yes Batiste better than Oberto. Oberto good role player in Europe not star so much like Batiste or superstar like Spanoulis.

But I thinks in NBA Batiste maybe play PF.

Hmm I think sopcast usuals have the games.

[MrChug]

God...all we watched EVERY game of were Rockets and Spurs games. If Spanoulis is a SUPERSTAR anywhere, I think we really need to re-examine what a "superstar" is. The guy plays out of control, never knows when to shoot and looks like the hairy old guy at the court that nobody wants to guard because he stinks and he's a dirty player.

Well in Europe be in Greece, Euroleague or Eurobasket he considers superstar. Never say he considers superstar in NBA.
