 A fantastic night! This is the only way I have to describe what happened on Wednesday at Datch Forum, when we were able to win against the reigning champions from CSKA Moscow for our second win in a row in the Euroleague, following our first win versus Panionios, also in front of our fans. The extraordinary fact was that we won this big match after recovering from 20 points down in the first half and 17 at the intermission - against such at team as CSKA, too!. It looked like an easy walk for CSKA but we showed great character and big desire to do something special, pushed by our crowd, which deserves special mention. It's crazy to think, as I write this a day later, about what happened: if you win a game rallying, it's great, but if you do so against a team like Moscow, it's more incredible! It's something that just does not happen every day.
We talked about the crowd: simply great! They participated in an extraordinary way, giving us a big charge. It looked like a final at times, and the celebrations we had on the court at the final buzzer will be something that will remain in our minds. A lot of my friends who watched the game on TV poked fun at me for celebrating, telling me that we just won a game, an important and well-played game, but just a game. But in my opinion, the TV didn't give to viewers the right feeling and the atmosphere we were experiencing at the same moment at Datch Forum, where there was a magic and...

 Hello, Euroleague fans. Let me tell you that I'm really happy to be talking to you! When the Euroleague contacted me to become one of the bloggers of the official site, Euroleague.net, it was a great joy for me. I have always been a frequent user of the Euroleague site, even last year when I was playing the ULEB Cup with Benetton Treviso. I'm always looking for news, stats, results... and when I saw the blogs of some players, I thought: "I would like to become one of them. I'd like to tell everybody some of the experiences that I have had playing the Euroleague, what I feel playing this competition all around Europe." But then I recalled that one time while I was in Treviso, I did a TV promo for Euroleague.net, but I had a lot of problems reading and repeating the internet address of the official site. After that, I thought they'd forget about me. Now, out of nowhere, my phone rang recently and I was asked to blog! I immediately said, "Yes, of course! I'm really interested." So here I am, ready as I can be to tell everybody what the Euroleague is for me.
It's something special: trust me. In the Euroleague, you can breathe a wonderful sensation that I just love. Just listening to DEVOTION, the official song of the Euroleague, is something special for me, both when I am there on the court, ready to play, and when I'm at home watching the games on television. Wednesdays and Thursdays, all season long, from regular season to Final...
