OH YES!!!

Ok, again, Im talking about B-ball. Hapoel Jerusalem just took the ULEB cup.They won 83-72 agains Real Madrid, one of europs finest teams. That is one of the three Europian titles available. Now, Maccabi Tel-Aviv is in the final four of the Euroleague, and Hapoel Tel Aviv isin the final four of the Europleague. What dose this mean? It is possible that all the titles will be in Israeli hands this year!!!!1 :cheers:

This of course would be soccer, as it is known to us barbarians across the water?

 

[FutureRANGER]

Judging by the score, that has to be basketball.

 

[SHERMAN]

yes

ovcourse,Basketball.....83-72 would be the score of a season of soccer games. :lol:

 

[panzer]

So is basketball a big thing over in Israel.......and I mean this as a serious question.

 

[SHERMAN]

well

Well, the Israeli league is boring, but the Euroleagye and ULEB cup are very popular here(the Maccabi games get 30% ratings)

 

[panzer]

[SHERMAN]

Im just wondering, hypothetically speaking of course, could the Hapoel Jerusalems beat the LA Lakers?

 

[SHERMAN]

well

Well, i doubt it...the NBA teams have so much money.....But Maccabi Tel-Aviv had a couple of encounters with NBA teams...Mostly they pulped us...But we had a couple of wins....

 

[SHERMAN]

OH YES!!!!

And Maccabi took it...118-74.....!

 

[Darkmb101]

Thats a good scor. The Lakers arent playing that well anymore: they barely won the game last Tuesday.

 

[SHERMAN]

yes

acctually, they could have made it 120-74, but they decided to shake hands 20 seconds to the finnish, as it was pointless(plus some of the bench started wearing their championship T-shirts about 5 mins before the game was over(at 48 advantage...)...what a massacre...
