I deliberately didn’t write about the game against Lietuvos back on Tuesday. It would have been senseless, just as the game itself was. We lost, we were shit, it just wrecked my nerves, it was useless, simple as that.
Just like this one.
I’ll be honest, I missed out the entire first quarter
I’ll be even more honest, I have no regrets.
The second quarter was interesting, because sometimes we took the lead. What is more, sometimes our actions distantly reminded of basketball. Williams-Goss carried the team on his back, not just here, but for the whole game. I’m not a fan of this American, but this time he deserves a high five. (photo: Facebook/KK Partizan)
The half time result was 44:44, Cedevita equalized right before the buzz. The third quarter was again a surprise
at least for the worn-out, tired-as-hell-of-it-all fan
because we still did things that actually looked like basketball. No, not for the whole quarter, come on. Still, there was some pace, running and some very very distant idea in the heads. In tracks only though. For a while it was nip-and-tuck, then the Zagrebians got bored of this fumbling and made a jump from 56:56 to 59:63. The quarter ended with 62:67, but the team ran out of oxygen already after 5-6 minutes.
Seriously, the best part of this whole game was Cedevita’s commercial with all those bears in a break.
As for the last quarter… let’s just forget it.
Šalić and Cherry had a fight right at the beginning. Other than that time passed slower than a rheumatic snail. I just hoped they would finish it until the game between Juventus and Inter starts. (They did.) Still there were moments that brought me new grey hair… Cedevita was leading to 74:79, maybe two minutes were left, Miller stole the ball from a Croatian player, then wanted to run up to slam, but he dropped the ball from his hand, and the ball rolled out of the court.
Then about a minute before the end Cedevita reached the 10-point-difference (78:88) and kept it until the final buzz.
After the game raging Grave Diggers hissed and booed the team, as they walked back to the locker-room, while throwing curses on head coach Miroslav Nikolić demanding his resign.
I really don’t want to look overly pessimistic, but dear everyone, I don’t think it will change in the near future.
