Hello everybody, for the third time this season! Greetings to all fans of basketball, of the Euroleague and of course, to all Partizan supporters! I have no doubt that everyone is eagerly awaiting the start of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16. That's the exact same feeling my team and I have now. The Top 16, as you all know, is sure to be very interesting and unexpected until the end. As always, some surprises are likely to happen in this round that will make the Euroleague season even more interesting than it has been so far. And those surprises will bring us both new heroes and some tragedians. This is Partizan’s fifth consecutive year of playing in the Euroleague Top 16 phase. Considering all the circumstances, that is an incredible record of success for our basketball, for the city of Belgrade and for Serbia.

The first phase of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, the regular season, turned out to be a good one for Partizan. We were able to secure our spot in Top 16 before the end of the phase, and for us that meant a great success in a very difficult and uncertain group. In those first 10 games, a lot of our players gained much-needed Euroleague experience that will mean a lot to them and to the team in the rest of the competition and in their careers. All those factors produced an even better working atmosphere on the team and the desire for more detailed work. We are going into the Top 16 now with a hunger for better results... more

Good day to all you Turkish Airlines Euroleague fans out there, for the second time (-;

The fourth week of the Euroleague is completed, and I won't be the first one to say that it has certainly been quite an interesting season so far. Above all, it has been full of surprises. Probably the most positive surprise for now has to be the great play and the position in the standings of Union Olimpija Ljubljana. To see them win their first three games was certainly unexpected, not just by me, but by a lot of people. And now that they are 3-1, it has certainly changed the way we look at Group D compared to before the season. On the other hand, what has been equally surprising in a negative way is the poor start of CSKA Moscow, which has a 1-3 record in the same group, but of course was the team to stop Olimpija's win streak last week. There is no counting out CSKA, ever, as everyone knows. Of course, this is just the beginning of the season still, in many ways. We all have to play six more games in the regular season, and it goes without saying that until most and maybe all of those games are played, things will be wide open. That is precisely one of the things that makes the Euroleague so interesting throughout an entire season: you never know what teams will surprise you.

Regarding my team, Partizan, last week we succeeded in taking a big road win at Asseco Prokom in Poland. Believe me, that is a very important victory for this young and new team. After our previous week's letdown and lost game against Maccabi, we needed just such an accomplishment like winning in Poland to get ourselves back on the right path, both in the way we play and the way we approach the Euroleague challenge of... more

Good day to all of you blog readers! As you already know, the new Turkish Airlines Euroleague season, another year in the European basketball elite, is upon us. This is my first time writing a blog, so I apologize in advance if something is not the way you expect it. But I know it will be interesting to follow the season together with all of you in this way!

This year my team, KK Partizan mt:s Belgrade, starts new season in the Euroleague with lot of changes, as always. The main one is the coach. After nine amazing years with us, Dusko Vujosevic has become the new coach of CSKA. We wish him good luck, to continue to win trophies and to be successful as he was with us here in Belgrade. I already have a first reason to congratulate him, after CSKA beat Cleveland last week on the Euroleague American Tour. Impressive!

I also would like to mention all my teammates from last year who moved on: Aleks to PAO, Bo to Sina, Lee to Efes, Rashke to Trabzon, Braca to Red Star and, of course, the tallest player in Europe, Slavko Vranes, best know as Shata, to Unics. I need to thank them for our amazing 2009-10 season together, one of the best seasons in our club's history: Thank you all, and I wish you very best of luck in your new teams!

Back to Partizan mt:s Belgrade's new season. Once again, we have the youngest team in the Euroleague and a new coach, Vlade Jovanovic, who was Dule’s first assistant for a long time. Also, I have new teammates in Rasko Katic, Jaka Klobucar, Nathan Jawai, Dragan Milosavljevic and Oliver Lafayette…All of us together, new ones and old ones, will give our maximum attention and emotion to try to leave the best impression we can in each Euroleague game. We... more
