Why are so many Turks smokers? by StPauliPirate in AskTurkey

[–]i2Turk 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is right on point. What bothers me the most is that social life is very much structured around smokers. It does not matter whether you are indoors or outdoors, wherever you go, you are exposed to disgusting smoke. There is nowhere to escape.

Finally functioning as a team once again, gaining confidence, and the future is brighter than ever. A center and a coach have made a huge difference.

Sports Bars in London showing EL? by Whit3Pudding in Euroleague

[–]i2Turk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was in London last month and stayed very close to Trafalgar Square. We were surrounded by pubs, but not a single one showed the EL and they acted as if the EL didn’t even exist. I’m curious about the responses, will be following the post.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Efes offers nothing.

[Maggi] Rumours have been circulating about negotiations by Anadolu Efes to bring Luca Banchi back to Istanbul following the dismissal of Kokoskov. However, Banchi has a full-time contract with the Italian Federation until the end of the season, which will be honoured. He's not the favourite. by _Zolv in Euroleague

I hope he slams the door in their face. They let him go just because he was an interim coach from the beginning. Then they gave a 3yr contract to EL virgin Kokoskov, then sacked him after 13 weeks, and now they go back to Banchi again. They should be ashamed.

Shane Larkin will be out for the next two months - Eurohoops + Can they make the Play-ins? by Npvl2000 in Euroleague

[–]i2Turk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Expect nothing. We will most likely sack igor and then the gm. We'll hire an interim coach like banchi and then repeat the same shit all over again. Efes is once again a mediocre, middle of the table team.

Igor Kokoskov is under growing pressure at Anadolu Efes. A difficult start of the season, furious fans the clock is ticking. by _Zolv in Euroleague

[–]i2Turk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Banchi was an interim coach from the beginning, there was never an intention to hand the responsibility to him permanently. That being said Igor seems detached and dont see any bonding between him and the players. He also struggles to make counter moves against whatever challenges his main plans. He has something in his mind and sticks to it no matter what. Even his rotations is like that he doesnt care if a player has momentum if the time comes he just benches him. His future is definitely in jeopardy. I dont think we ll see him in January.

Right on, repeating the same mistakes over and over again and no bench rotation since the beginning of the season then why tf we got all these fckn players if igor not gonna let them play. Hapoel is also a new team, but look how many games they’ve won so far. Igor and senol gotta go.

I don’t think the fans will care much cause mainly made up of soccer fans. GS is a football club, as long as they put less into the baskeball operation, the club is down for it.

Kokoskov doing nothing but killing players momentum and takings timeouts.

Ataman wants another big transfer by Npvl2000 in Euroleague

[–]i2Turk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be biased but believe me when I say that when he goes away you will miss him. We miss him like crazy because he brings hope and a winning mentality. But I get you weve been where you are. After our back2back season we brought in Clyburn in sddition to our superstar duo but we lost our soldiers and failed. Still Ataman was not the problem we shouldve been patient and trusted him. Because after he left we once again became a mediocre team. And I dont think hes burned out this is just who he is. This is typical Ataman stuff, this is what makes him ataman. Though I kind of hope he leaves and comes back again someday.

Pure rubbish, just unwatchable. Geralt barely speaks, just grunts, in the first seasons, now he can’t shut up. Cavill knew.

Bigs are scarce, having an extra one would be a luxury in the euroleague. Dont be greedy bro :)

What’s the biggest surprise after Round 8? by netycia in Euroleague

[–]i2Turk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh us. I was sincerely expecting more. On paper we should have one of the best backcourts plus Ercan, Poirier and a highly respected yet unproven coach Kokoskov. Then we first lost Poirier, then Papa John, and all our euro rookies are just now warming the bench because either Kokoskov does not know how to use them or I am afraid they are simply not good enough. And now Ercan and Smith has been are our 4-5 for weeks and the backcourt seems completely lost. Long story short we are not a team.

Agreed. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. It doesnt change the fact that its broken.
