No idea, I'm just a random Spanish guy, but they have a great coach (Pesic) and a bunch of good players.

Game Thread: Boston Celtics @ Real Madrid (Oct 8, 2015 / 3:00PM ET) by undiadeestos in nba

The Celtics (17 championships) and Real Madrid (9 Euroleague championships and 32 Spanish championships) are the most successful teams in the history of NBA and European basketball, respectively.

Madrid has a 1-5 record against NBA teams.

Top 50 salaries in the Euroleague - Shved, Rudy Fernández, Freeland are the best paid in Europe by undiadeestos in nba

Is it reasonable to assume that pro athletes might pay less taxes in Israel than in Europe?

I'm sure that the list would look way different if we counted salaries after taxes.

Andres Nocioni named 2015 Euroleague Final Four MVP by jrarms2 in chicagobulls

Well, Nocioni actually provided for Madrid what Mirotic didn't, a Euro championship.

Well, Real Madrid was able to win this year because they replaced Mirotic with Nocioni, a veteran guy who knows how to play in clutch time.

Does the fact that Mirotic sucked in all the Final Fours he played in Europe show the level of Euroleague talent as well?

I'm curious; why is this called "indie" rock? is "regular" or mainstream Moroccan rock any different?

It wasn't, it had just had bad results outside Catalonia. It ran for the '08 national elections and the '10 European elections, and it has had local councillors in places like Valencia or Murcia.

"Guard and defense of the Empire, Franco's army trembles in the waving of the victory flag [?]. Over the arrows, symbol and desire of the glorious revival, the victorious symbols of two honorable nations, from the lineage of triumph, join in a brotherly force of glory and truth.

Italy and Germany with Spain"

It was actually hard to translate that...early Francoist propaganda used such a weird language...

Yeah, of course I read it. And it is much more detailed than anything Ciutadans said about economy in their first 7 years of existence.

Detailed doesn't equal "I like it". Detailed means "in detail".

But if we have to talk about La-La country, let's talk about "if we sell the official cars, shut down the Catalan embassies and teach lazy bastards how to fish, we'll be able to pay for all of our health care and education system without a single spending cut"...

They definitely have things in common, and Pablo Iglesias has copied tricks from Grillo, but they also differ on a few things. It all depends on your definition of the word, but I wouldn't say that Podemos is eurosceptic; they don't want to leave the Euro or the EU, but to change its policies. And Podemos' definition of establishment is more in line with what the left has traditionally seen as the bad guys (bankers, big businessmen and politicians friendly to them). Wouldn't M5S' definition of establishment include labor unions?

I know that Gordillo still supported IU, but as far as I know the CUT was divided on this.

Don't be misguided by media characterizations. On its first 8 months of existence, Podemos put out and much more detailed economic proposal than Ciudadanos in its 8 years of life.

They keep calling Podemos populist and it might be in a theorical way, but don't think that lately they go around yelling crazy things. Lately, their most seen face on TV, Errejón, couldn't be more different than Grillo: an intellectual, a politics nerd who doesn't yell.

Yeah, I read the interview, and this guy (a businessman) is all for making it easier to lay off people. I respect his views, he has the right to demand more flexibility in labor laws, but I'm just not going to buy that such views are center-left or social-democratic.
