Dante exums father Cecil Exum passed away shortly after this event. RIP CECIL EXUM great player in his day
Damn thats sad AF, poor dude.
Girls with time machine: 'Let's go and save the dinosaurs'
Boys with te machine:
'Punter bro chill please'
Although difficult to exempt responsibility from a team who lost a 10+ pt lead in 2 occasions, it's inevitable to not elect Sergio Llull the MVP of the series. With Euroleague's help, he saved Real Madrid in game 2. It's insulting that Real Madrid got benefited after starting a riot, including the ridiculous penalty for what Yabusele did.
No the MVP of this series is KP7.Beacouse of him we couldn't get the job done in Belgrade.We lost Lesort and Punter for 1-2 games.Thank you Punter for your immature behavior.
Η Euroleague είναι γνωστό εδώ και χρόνια ότι βοηθάει τις πλούσιες ομάδες, όπως ρεαλ Μαδρίτης, μπαρτσελονα, Euroleague mafia.
Θα έπρεπε στο final four να είναι η πάρτιζαν Βελιγράδιου.
Έφαγε ποινή της πλάκας, και έτσι βοηθήσανε την ρεαλ...
OLYMPIAKOS 💪
I have question: Lets suppose that Llull set up a trap at the end of game two. Why Punter had to fall in? Was it so difficult to hold his nerves for another 60 secs or do you think that he is the first ever player to recieve an unfair/unjustice unsportsmanship foul? Few seconds before, Punter had been fouled hard by Pouirier. If he had reacted then, nothing would have happened. But going against RM's captain with your raised fist.... He should have kept his temper.
* Penalties were light IMO, for all the players involved in that fight. As for the chubby guy, he shouldnt be allowed to enter any basketball court at all, for the duration of his ban. He can go watch some wrestling instead!
@masterm155 man shut the hell up im a partizan punter shouldnt even sniff a suspension yabusele should be released of this league llull should have been suspended and lessort got suspended for 2 game for a slight throw but yabusele slamming exum costs only 5 games f off

SInce no one answered you i will.Spanish sports assosiation are the only one in world that has sent normal players to play at paralympics.Spanish atheletes are dirtiest in world.Rudy fernandez,sergio rodrigez,sergio llull juan carlos navarro, and gasol brothers are human garbage that reeks of dirt and dishonor in every imanigable way possible.
Thats only one part of the story.The other part is partizan coach zeljko obradovic trying to act holier than thou and caring more about being cultured/civilized gentlemen then
warn his players about spanish gipsies and their dirty tricks as we in balkan call scum from spanish national basket team.
Everything went downhill after that incident in game 2. It's a shame we couldn't finish what we started, we looked so good in those first two games. Of course, you have to commend Real players for not giving up, and especially for staying locked in in the second half of game 5.
Still, you can't help but wonder what would've happened if there were no suspensions, and I definitely think justice didn't prevail in the end in this series.
However, as Partizan fans, we have to be proud of what our guys accomplished this season, after not playing in the Euroleague for 8 years, and we're hoping for a better run and a bit more luck next season.
not only luck, but also more wisdom for next season. I agree with your nice comment and since you cant change what has already happened, you can just learn from your mistakes and to be honest, im not a Partizan fun, but i do have a bitter taste for watching your team throwing at the garbage two extraordinary and memorable games at Spain and possibly the F4 qualification...
@@redhippog7 There was a massacre in the Belgrade elementary school between G3 and G4 and it was perfectly clear to me then that G5 would be played. In addition to all that, Aleksa Avramović, who is an extremely important player in Partizan, was injured in G3. Exum also wasn't fully recovered, and when you add in Kevin Punter's embarrassing suspension, it's clear the odds weren't great. What is important is that the Euroleague sent a message that big clubs can provoke an incident if they are in a bad situation in the playoffs.
we had a mass shooting before game 3 too.
its really easy to dissect.
Llull did what they've done in the past vs Olympiakos and spanoulis. a hard foul to create something out of nothing. Punter took the bait, exum came running from behind initially wanting to punch Llull behind the head, last moment just palmed him behind the head, then deck follows up by grabbing exum, exum ducks and gives what seems like a gut punch, yabusele notices, grabs exum and body slams him to oblivion, meanwhile mousa is getting punched by almost everyone (including an accidental hit by hezonja), punter gives a 1-2 combo to mousa (neck then face), lesort is running like a running back from the other side of the court to do an RKO to Mousa.
lol poor Musa. I really think he didn't have the intention of fighting and was separating them, ended up being punched and slapped by everyone.
Exactly this, video host was biased. Exum should be puniished too, not usre how he got away.
Kevin Punter was retreating to his bench. What was Musa doing next to the Partizan bench and why he run into Punter?
I dont think u remember how Olympiakos turned around 2013 Euroleague final by injuring Mirotic on a hard foul.
As a neutral fan here, my point of view is that Punter and whole Partizan organisation should have been aware of these Spanish mind games. What I want to say is that, you have +15 in last minut of the match in Madrid, potentially 2:0 for you and as PROFESSIONAL player and CAPTAIN you need to be calm and ready for these unsportsmanlike strategies from the Spaniards. I don’t want to blame just Punter here of course, but for me I think that he had to act in more mature and calmer way than this, especially because I also think that if Partizan was on full roster they could easily smash Real with 3:0.
A neutral fan? You must be joking...
@@bogdanvukomanov4651he was basically saying that he is anything but a neutral fan. 😂 🤦♂️
I wanted Partisan to win. But this is very biased. First Llul made an unsportsmanlike faul. Same type of fauls are always done in games. No big deal, maximum can get ejected for that game. Apart from yabusele (should get more, not a year calm down haha) the other suspensions were spot on.
yabusele intervened after he witnessed exum giving punches left and right. he took him out of the fight. i mean it was within reason, he saw someone hitting his teammates and tried to neutralize him (with the way he chose to, wrong.), but what about lesort? this mf is running like a running back from the other side of the court to just RKO Mousa for absolutely no reason, Mousa was just getting punched left and right by almost everyone including a teammate.
@@reignmans Dude pls dont justify what Yabusele did. Not even Madrid gypsies went that far. They maybe liked what he did but they didnt say it was the right thing
@@reignmans but ok i guess u have brain cancer so its aight
Apart from the Spanish Basketball School, there is also the Spanish Mindgame School. They're teaching mind games for dacades now, they are pros. Llul knew what he was doing and what could come out of this chaos. I don't blame them, they got what they wanted. Thing is, next year there might be other teams who might mimic these kind of behavior. And Euroleague just let it roll with ridiculous sanctions.
Sounds to me like bullshit from a loser-minded person
Great analysis.
Too bad I won't be visiting Lithuania this year, but hey, some other time...
What a great video u made. I really hope f4 format ends and the euroleague has play off series till the end. Those series make history
I think it's fair Llull didn't get suspended. He provoked the fight by committing a hard foul but then didn't really participate in the melee. A hard foul itself is not suspension worthy.
Look at it from a good angle. He punched him in the chest. Look at 2 fouls before that on Punter. Porier pushed him a few meters and he was already provoked. You obviously didn't see that. And the Swede who made the decision wanted Punter to punish 2 games to move the series to Madrid. 4 games should not have been played because 8 children were killed in the school. EL had to postpone the game because the children are more important than the game. I, who am an ardent fan of Partizan, watched very little of the game because of the shooting kids.
RIP kids 😢🤍🌹
look at 11:04
@@serbianrock5512 Yea he braced for Punter who clearly was about to start something
Dante Exum is a pro. Glad he is back in the NBA. Madrid should have asterisk next to that series win. That was a terrible outcome for Partizan, they deserved to win as the better team.
You said it all.
in case you are new , welcome to euroleague mafia
iii PARTIZAN I SAMO PARTIZAAAN🖤
What exactly did Llull do to deserve a suspension for next game ? Someone can explain to me ? I only see a hard foul.
no one can explain shit because he did nothing.. theyre just sore loosers... there is the english in football and there is the serbians in basketball they all get humbeled by the great REAL MADRID!
1. Tavares
2. Punter's reaction to an unsportsmanlike foul
3. Partizan's inability to hold on 16points Lead for 19minutes.
Although Yabusele might deserve a longer suspension, this didn't affect the series outcome at any point.
Same with Llul's unsportsmanlike foul. It was just a bad foul from a sore loser. Nothing more than that.
I dislike Real in general but i am mostly disappointed on Partizan's reaction. Especially when the best and most experienced coach in Europe on their bench. How on earth they managed to lose 3 consecutive games, especially the last one. They lost a 16points lead from 35+ yo veterans. Lol
I totally agree with every word you wrote but Can i also please add Madrid's experience as an importand and decisive factor? I mean, they have three 40 year olds in their roster and each of them has more euroleague games than the whole Partizan team. Llull, Serghi and Fernandes have my respect for their perfomance at game 5.
Smajlagic played 9 minutes, got 5 fouls. Lesor played with 4 fouls last 10 minutes. He wasn't allowed to make a foul in the racket because we don't have a third player at position 5. Koprivica is injured.Exum had 4 fouls at the beginning of the 1/4. Real has a much longer roster. And Tavares, who even Lesor can't guard.Smajlagic was played for non-existent fouls, 2 for sure.Real used it and easily entered the racket.
4 games had to be postponed. A 14-year-old boy killed eight children and a guard at school. And a 21-year-old boy also killed about 8 people.I am still in shock and i dont know how muck that guy killed ppl precisely because of kids.Our players wasn't ready for the game.After 2 game everything goes for rm.All of this happens in 100 years.
The suspensions were ridiculous. Lull not getting a suspension was horrific and made 0 sense. But that's the Real Madrid - Euroleague mafia working there. At least 1 or 2 more Madrid players should have got a game ban. Partizan would have defeated them but that wouldn't slide well with the Kings club so they played the cards in their favor. Unlucky for Partizan
If this happens at an Olympiakos Panathinaikos derby, the European Basketball will End at this Day .....
looks like a draymond game 5 type of incident
I think that it is all Punter's fault.Yes it was a hard foul but the refs called it an unsportsmanlike like it should be.Any other proffersional would not have reacted and just say a word or two but Punter has no reason to turn around with his fist up.They were up 2-0 going to Belgrade.Why?
I'm just saying, there are many many fouls like Llull,s among the season. Punter was not clever enough.
Punter is notoriously volatile, that is why they turned his ejection into a game plan when the old foxes (Llull in primis) realised they were going to lose. Yes he should have kept calm, still a disgutsting display of unsportsmanship. Yabusele celebrating and mocking Lessort really turns my stomach.
That’s what I was thinking. We see harder fouls than that all the time. Maybe if he was hit in the face he would have the right to be mad, but he just got hit in in the chest. Soft behaviour to me🤷🏾♂️
Thing is, they've been provoking him with harsh fouls entire game, dude just snapped. I am sad he reacted that way as well, I am Partizan fan, but I can understand it. We all wish he didn't react that way though :(
@@diamondgaming63 ruclips.net/video/7Obo7jsNIVQ/видео.html this is unsportsman
Bro never compare this candy ass scuffle to "malice in the palace" smh..
Great video!!! Just to put a couple of things into perspective, a) Sergio Llull"s involvement is just the harsh foul on Punter and the mainly verbal fight with him afterwards. If none of the rest happened his punishment would have been an unsportsmanlike foul and maybe a technical at most, so I do not understand why there was so much talk about him not being suspended. Having said that though his play is straight out of Kevin McGee"s playbook in the semifinal in Munich in 1989 where he provoked Giannakis and managed to turn the lost semifinal for Maccabi. Llull took it even further and managed to turn a whole series and in my eyes he is the main reason Real is through, or reversely Punter is the main reason Partizan is out as if he had kept his calm there is no way Partizan would have not swept them in Belgrade. The only reason for him being suspended is his record or rather the record of the Spanish players of his generation, that were great players but at the same time sore losers, provocateurs, arrogant and always in cohorts with the system. b) Way more than Llull I do not understand why Musa , Hezonja and Exum were not suspended. Musa is involved in just about every punch thrown, and is no excuse that he is the recipient while he misses his, Hezonja is one of the first to get involved and it can not be an excuse that his main punch ended on no other than Musa, and Exum is the real instigator of the fight as until his involvement the whole thing would have ended with fouls and technicals and it can not be an excuse his near death experience from Jabusele. c) There is no comparison with the malice at the Palace for many reasons. The main is that in Detroit the main issue were the fights between players and the fans, that was why the Indiana players received such harsh punishments and the Pistons players just a fraction of those. The second was that it was an early regular season game and the punishments did not compromise the validity of the competition. In this case it was a decisive playoff game and Euroleague needed to think about the whole competition, as harsher and more punishments would have just resulted to rigging the competition in favor of their favorite team Barcelona giving them a wild card to the final. Of course they ended up favoring their other favorite team Madrid, but you can not have everything in life and if there is one thing for certain in European Basketball is that some Spanish team is going to benefit from matters not related to the game...
Hi brother, Im agree with 95% things that you said but we (barça) are catalans, never spaniards. We can win or lose, good refs or bad refs decisions but our national identity is catalan and it ll never change. You can see at palau or kaunas you ll never see at spanish flag with us and we are proud of this. Més que un club means this, we represent more than a club, a nation, a country that cant play eurobasket, world cups or olympics.
@@rubenjara5794 this man makes a full explanation (which I totally agree with btw) on the fight, and you just care about saying that you are from Catalonia and not Spanish…
This is too much 🤣🤣🤣
typical barcelona.. always desperate for attention hahaha@@jorgemartinmoreno3033
How can you still say Dante Exum was injured? He played 20+ minutes 4 days later 😂
Yea, but how? Was he on 100%?
@@user-lt9gg2gr9l of course he was, he was playing 20+ mins lol
Yabusele should stay out for at least one year. It's a shame.
Partizan need to calm down. We know real madrid has the best floppers in the entire basketball world..
How on earth did llull get away without suspension?
Great NBA 1980's and 1990's style BBall court fight but nowhere near the Malice in the Palace, The Malice was between first players on the court then players kickin fans asses up in the stands. Both very different!!!
kad gledam ovo svatim koliki smo mi baksuzi ja stvarno neverujem
Partizan really gave the series away. Like come on 15pt lead, about to go up 2-0 and with 2 Chances to close out the series at home with crazy fans? You can’t lose your temper like that. Madrid needed anything to come back in this series and they got it from Punter. I‘m not saying it was good what Real did, but in this situation partizan has got to be smarter. I‘m telling you if Punter doesn’t do anything and just takes the foul Belgrade sweeps Madrid in Game 3 at home 🤷🏻♂️
I dare you say that out loud in Belgrade...
@@bogdanvukomanov4651
Is that a threat or just an admission Partizan fans can’t take constructive criticism about their team? Either way pretty pathetic on your end ngl…
But okay i will do it if you buy me plane tickets from Belgrade and back to my country, alright?
Its not the same as Malice in the Palace bro. These are just players scuffle 😅
Incredible e pensare che è finita con Madrid vincitore dell'evento eurolega!!
Real always has the soft hand of refs and euroleague i hipe in every game for their lost because this is so frustrating
Both teams should have faced exemplary punishment. Last year Bacon got away with a chockehold and now this? Yes, let Barca advance with no game played straight to the final, if that is what it takes to protect the game we all love! As for Punter's reaction, look at what Guduric did to Shaq in the last minute of game 5. Shaq was smart enough NOT to respond in kind
That was nothing compared to Malice in the Palace
Real Madrid will never be rememberd for wining Euroligue only 4 this idiotik move.Thk 4 this klip and every singl one one this canal.
This was the saddest moment in modern Serbian basketball.
Before Punter's inexplicable reaction, Partizan was humiliating Real in Madrid, on the way to a clean sweep in Belgrade. Partizan would have finished the job on May 2nd, before the school shooting and the national tragedy which happened on May 3rd and seriously affected Game 4.
Partizan will not have a chance like this again... and it's a long story why.
Partizan with Željko Obradović will always have a chance. They will collect some debts this season.
You can't call it european malice in the Palace, there was no exchange with audience.
People are forgetting that Madrid didn't really have Tavres for games 1 or 2, Madrid's best player by far. His return had a far bigger impact that the suspensions IMO. Yabusele's suspension was way too lenient but so was Punter's, you can't start swinging in a basketball game
That's true, something worth mentioning indeed!
He played 22 minutes in the first game. But yeah, the dude's a cheat code.
Poirier played, he is better on paper then Lessort, and Real lost 20 points, Partizan played without 2 best players and third injured and still almost beat Real
Tavares played in game 1
And Partizan lost Aleksa Avramović after few minutes in Game 3. Punter is the best 2 guard in Europe. Dante Exum wasn't fully recovered.
Robbery....what to say. Its sad how Partizan lose.
This guy saying that, both teams at full strength Partizan won both games. First two games we had no center, team star Tavares was out and backup Poirier too. We had to play 50 years old Anthony Randolph at 5. Come on.
Real fans complaining about their roster is crazy😂
Hello guys! Love your content!
I disagree with this take to an extent.
Partizan had multiple chances to finish off madrid, in game 5 they were up by 15+ with a full team (except for avramovic), while madrid was missing suspended yabusele and injured deck, poirier and cornelie
P.s. I agree that yabusele should have been given a stricter punishment.
P.s. the argument about madrid's budget doesn't really make sense, you cannot sign players in the middle of a playoff series, you play with what you've got
Yeah, but they still have a much deeper roster
"Except for Avramović". I hope you watched Avramović at the recently concluded World Cup. Partizan without Avramović had 4-9 score. Partizan with Avramović had 16-5 + 2 wins in the playoffs.
@@markomarkovic5729 avramović was fantastic both last season in the EL and at the WC, however, I think we'd both agree that not having 4 players (2 starters) is a bigger obstacle than not having avramović, aaand they had a huge lead
@@abcdefg4160 What 4 starters you're talking about? Cornelie!? He played against Partizan and was terrible. Poirier also played. Real had 15 great players, and some of them who played very little would be leaders in most other teams in the EL. On the other hand, Partizan's rotation in the EL consisted of 10 players, four of whom played Euroleague for the first time in their career, and three are inexperienced kids (Smailagić, Madar, Trifunović). If Real Madrid's Džanan Musa gets injured, Causer is there, who's not as good as him, but can contribute. If Tavares isn't ready, there's Poirier, who's an elite Euroleague center. If you suspend Kevin Punter, Partizan does NOT have a player who can compensate for his absence. Same with Lessort, LeDay and Exum. The players who made the difference in Game 5 were Chacho Rodriguez, Rudy and Llull, who have a ton of such games in their careers, and those players were nailed to the bench for most of the season. Now I get to the point: Madar can't guard Chacho, Exum had 4 personal fouls at the start of the 4/4. Not just that, Exum wasn't fully recovered. Avramović is an energy guy and a player who changes the rhythm of the game and plays excellent defense. There's no way that Chacho would penetrate into the paint so easily, and on the other hand, he would be targeted in defense, just like in the first two games. But it certainly wouldn't have gotten to Game 5 if the Euroleague hadn't imposed such shameful penalties.
@@markomarkovic5729 bro, chill, I wrote "not having 4 players (2 starters)", by starters meaning deck and yabu
Madrid won due to experience and kkp choked a big lead due to the lack of experience, it's as simple as that, the rest are excuses, I'm sorry, and best of luck to kkp in 23/24
when it comes to the suspensions, I would have suspeded yabu till Jaunary 2024, other than that, I think it was okay
Real Madrid strategy: "If we can't beat them ... beat them."
Partizan was robbed
23 for Madrid must be related to some higher up. No way he shouldnt have been suspended. He was definitely scared of other dude
Yabusele is clearly a big coward 😂
That was gangsta from madrid ngl
why not mention Musa as a primary reason for the last game W? hes the top scorer and a rebound away from being top rebounder also in that closing game 5
11:00 yes!!💯
BRUH LLULL HAS CRUSHED IN THE PANTER AND THEN PANTER TRY TO DEFENDE LLULL HAVE TO BE PUNISHT MORE
🤬🤬I AM A PARTIZAN PLAYER MY PLACE IS FOR PARTIZAN EVRITHING IS PARTIZAN IN SERBIA IN BELGRADE
Yabusele would smack them all by himself lmao🤣. They started the fight and then cry because they got their ass kicked. Thank got they got swept after that
I hate that basketball is "footbalising" in faking injuries. You laugh about Musa covering his face after Lessort's shove away, and it is quite ridiculous, but he at least didn't put the theater that Exum made with crutches (he arrived in Belgrade jumping and hopping), and worst of all, he would have been elegant and not using excuses after the amazing game played yesterday in Madrid. Exum should learn how to be humble, and stick to basketball like Obradovic, who was a true gentleman.
I mean, I think he was on crutches because they didn't want to risk anything until everything was checked.
every partizan fan knew that we will be f*cked by the euroleague and by the suspensions .
just aint f*cking fair how they handed out no suspension for llull and just gave yabusele a five game suspension without a single fine.
just so unfair
i think Rudy was available for playing instead of Llull
Let's leave some space and dedicate the championship and the emphatic victory and of Panathinaikos against this arrogant team to Partizan too, who should be in the final 4 last year. Real madrid took the lesson they deserved.
Partizan have only themselves to blame. You just don't respond to provocations when you are 15 ahead 1 minute before the match ends. It seems they have learned nothing from this series.
I dare you come to Belgrade and say that out loud.
Rich cannot loose.
Good analysis. GOOD VIDEO. Partizan did not have the strength to return such a dirty shot in the second game. nicely done in the direction yABUSELE, Llull, dECK. eUROLEAGUE SHOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM. EITHER SHE SHOULD HAVE PUNISHED ALL DRACONICLY OR NOT PUNISH ANY PLAYER. IN THIS WAY, SHE JUST DECIMATED THE PARTIZAN WITH A SHAMEFUL MOVE. SHAME ON eUROLEAGUE SHAME ON FOR rEAL mADRID.
Ok but what about philippines vz australia ..
Yeah, but most Filipinos still make a joke about that brawl
IMO, "Malice at the Palace" was way worst than PHI-AUS brawl, I mean imagine getting suspended from 1 game to whole season suspension, whereas the PHI-AUS fight only has 1-6 Game suspension
Punter ruined the series for his team. Period. He should have just laughed in his face when he fouled him.
Basically.
1:49 had me laughing like someone on crack and weed at the same time
Yabusele must be jailed
Real is the most dirty team and of course the most favored of all other groups
Why was Rudy ejected?
Real Madrid was the most disgusting club in the world even before this scenario, after it they only confirmed that abomination.
God DAMN I hate Real Madrid.
So even in basketball Madrid just keep on robbing other teams 😂
Dante exhumed
I mean i am an Oly fan and you know how much Llull hurt us in the final but why should he be punished if he didnt hit anyone other that the hard foul in the play..Prob will see the whole thing again but i dont think he attacked KP outside the play..So no i don't think he should have been punished in a degree higher that a flagrant and an ejection the rest of the punishments was a joke
doslo vreme da i kod nas samo crnci igraju😢
Pa kad naši igraju po evropi i nba. Na kraju krajeva, to su klubovi a ne reprezentacije, ne vidim problem.
Advice: If you're losing a game or series, get the worst player you have in game and let him punch a best guy in opponent's team. Oppenent's team will get worse punishments from Euroleague and you will end up winning series.
Ps. Don't do this if you aren't Real Madrid's coach.
El que venga a madrid que se prepare a qui no se regala nada se lucha hasta el final
It feels comforting to see that others see it too. I love Partizan, so my opinion is clouded by emotions. We feel tricked and robbed. It feels like, when Real fans yelled "Euroleague mafia" in the game 2, it was not a critique, but a reminder and a call for help. Not starting some stupid conspiracy theory, just saying how it feels in the hindsight.
You can say that length of benches decided in the end, which is a basketball category, but Partizan had no problems with that until now, Partizan was the best team in Euroleague in the 2nd half of the season, and that became an issue only after what happened in Madrid in the game 2, and the league's reaction to that.
Euroleague not only allowed, but played a role and assisted in situation where a violent non-basketball event, in my opinion decided the outcome of the basketball series. It was obvious as soon as they announced their decisions. People noticed right away something was wrong about it.
This is such a stain on the league. PAO owner has a point: Now if basketball doesn't go well, is it a viable option to start a fight and try hurt opponent or lure them in extreme reactions? The answer is probably- No. Somehow I doubt Euroleague measures would work out in favour of Partizan or, for example Žalgiris.
Not making any accusations, just saying, something seriously stinks in all this. I'm not really sure what it is, but Partizan obviously got the shitty part of the stick.
the fact that real madrid won the series shows how wrong the euroleague handled this situation.
Way to disrespect best team in Europe. First team ever to come back from 0-2 deficit. Shame on you mate.
Llull fouled Punter hard and unnecessary but it should've just been an unsportsmanlike foul on him. No reason for Punter so turn around hold up his fist to Llull's face! The foul didn't even risk an injury to him… Don't expect the other Real players to hold back if you threaten to punch one of their teammates.
Overall disappointing take on the situation. Either way, Partizan lost and nobody outside of the fans for that club cares about it anymore.
That was all a good acting from Llull and whole team are dirty players except Mario…Kevin should’ve reacted even tho he pushed him 2x before him held his fist buddy,watch again! But you know what it doesn’t matter anymore….Money talks and they slide very easy from this situation but we will see what Karma will say for the next game!
I dare you come to Belgrade and say that out loud...
I see a lot of people writing about Exum and Partizan faking the injury. Without trying to get into that, I do think that Exum didn't get a suspension because EL was certain he wouldn't play and was injured. Whether intentionally or not, the injury tricked the officials because there's no way he wouldn't get a suspension if Deck and Lessort got one, at least one game, in my opinion. So maybe look at it as Exum wasn't suspended on Partizan side and Llull on Real's side.
Honestly after the school shootings I could care less about the results of a basketball game
This is exactly why most of European basketball fans absolutely hate Real Madrid. "Royal" club my ass. Everything about this incident is a joke, but that's how it is in Euroleague. Everybody would have much rather seen loud and proud partizan fans in Kaunas 🤷♂️
How do you have a 50 Million Euro budget and be on the verge of getting swept 3-0 to a much lesser club? Real is bad. Barça is the way to go in the ACB.
Nice recap, congrats. It is nothing new my bro, classical Spanish shameless unsportsmanlike moves. This was not a promotion of sport, it was a promotion of pure power, big budget and influential people.
Real should be banned but it's Euroleague's favorite team !!! Shame for Real and dirty Llull !!!!
Shame on you Real!
First of all, they should punish Lull at once, because he made a gross and provocative personal mistake - because this was the reason for a whole shit! Unfortunately for Partizan, it paid off for Madrid to play ugly and dirty basketball, rather than playing the game they oppose a better competitor!!!
Punter's reaction was justified and he didn't even swing. He was just pissed cause that foul was way over the top. EVERYONE knows that players rarely want to start throwing punches and it escalates to that after Deck and Yabusele got involved. Euroleague really screwed this up in my opinion
I am red star fan,but real is most dirty club i have ever seen. Shame that punter couldn't control his anger cause madrid got what they wanted.
Shame on Euroleague and shame on R Madrid
as Zvezda fan what a disgrace ofc they did it cuz ONE Real cant be knocked out from some small irrelevant partizan by fair play
Let's be clear. Suspensions must be really harder. But Llull is not responsible for the reaction of the rest of the players. He did a foul and got his punishment correctly.
Just so were clear. Just because real ended up winning doesn't mean the bans favored them. Should Yabusele get 25+ games? Yes obviously. But you cant punish a slam with 25 games and a punch with 1 or 2. All the punishments were minimized for the players to make the f4 (except Yavusele ofc). And the team that was favored by that was the team that was up 2-0. Punching a player is a 4+game suspension and punter lessort deck would(and should) have not played in the f4. Also the euroleague president is Serbian. The thing that changed the series was Tavares return. He is what punter is to Partizan.
Damn..if u don't wanna be fouled then play ping pong or some other sport..just proves how soft you are..let him know
Partizan won title last season
Spanish business...
panathinaikos revenge for partizan
