So whose lithuanian is better?: The Euroleague's final four tournament already provided one huge surprise when the heavily favorite host team CSKA Moscow got eliminated in the semifinals. Can the Spaniards make it two surprises in a row and defeat the reigning champs in the finals? (I hope not!) Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Meanwhile, in Europe:: Israeli basketball club Maccabi Tel Aviv wins the Euroleague's championship, crushing its opponent in the finals 118-74 (oh, the joy!), and demolishing a few records on the way (of course, hosting the final four sure helped!). Traditional thinking is that defensive teams have the edge come the post-season, but this year it's been all about the offensive-minded yellow devils from Tel-Aviv. Do you see a chance for an offensive-minded team (the Mavs and Kings come to mind) to go all the way in the NBA?
