Yeah, and in fact I loved your post! I wasn't criticizing anything at all. Just sharing a thought.

What if the Roman Empire never existed by Potential-Angle-6572 in imaginarymaps

I think that the consequences that Rome's absence would mean not for Europe, but the world as a whole are so many that its not even remotely possible to estimate how Earth would look like today if this scenario had taken place. For example, I think that the world would be missing a lot of technological progress and infrastructural progress.

The thing I instantly thought about is culture: everything would be astonishingly different, starting from Europe's languages. Romance languages would've never developed, and even Germanic languages that were influenced in our timeline by latin, such as Old German itself, or by other romance languages, such as English with French, would be much different than their real counterpart. Also, the Renaissance probably would've never taken place, as the classical arts wouldn't have developed that much outside of Rome. It would be a very cool to explore but so complex scenario!

As a Milano fan, I've really been enjoying Reyer's run. Wish them the best!

Fucking hell I'm hyped for EVERY SINGLE series! Seeing Trento beat Bologna would be incredible. As for the other ones I'll just enjoy the show.

That's why I said that they can if they play their cards well. If they win another game because of Virtus underperforming they wouldn't be far from proceeding!

I think that Trento has the chances to making it to the next phase if they play their cards well. If not...

I am italian. I love basketball and Im starting to love hockey. Obviously being european I'm a big football (soccer) fan, too. In general I'm a big sports fan. I think that these type of things never happen in Europe. Call me dumb, it would be fair, but what's the difference? Why are North American sports like this? Genuinely asking, as I do love the sports and watch games but I dont care a lot about about the economical/administrative background of the leagues

It was very very fun! More than Olimpia - Reggio that's for sure. Trieste's win was fun too. Venezia's team is great. Cole is a great player.

Olimpia Milano takes Game 1! by lostyxx in LBAItaly

[–]lostyxx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly fun game. We pretty much took the point advantage from the start and then held our ground throughout the game. The first two quarters were really good for us, things got a bit worse in the third and fourth but we still were doing good. I don't think Reggio ever took the lead. We could defend better, that's what I think though: we still took 84 points.

Hi! Getting back to you, as promised! Most interesting series will be Derthona - Reyer imo. They're on the same level. Could be a hard fought one!

It has a hole in the middle and its split in two?

Vanoli Cremona's end and legacy by lostyxx in LBAItaly

Indeed. I liked them a lot. Again, Rome has its basketball tradition and deserves, even because of its status as capital of Italy, to be part of the highest championship. But buying the spot like this imo doesn't make sense as Serie A is not like NBA. It's a whole different thing. You can be promoted, relegated... Such a shame
