With so much basketball going on in the past days we've actually had to split Episode #05 into two parts.

Part 1 is all about the EuroLeague Mega Round (3&4) which has taken place from Oct. 17th to 20th.

At the very beginning, Matej and Simon have a discussion regarding an article in "The Athletic" and the situation of bio-banding in sports (00:00:33). After that they recap the current Euroleague action with all the highlights and storylines (00:07:46). Starting off with Barcelona's hot start (00:09:00), a surprisingly struggling Bayern Munich (00:14:35) before moving on to a so far underwhelming Baskonia team (00:20:30). Next they'll talk about Zalgiris Kaunas excellent start (00:23:23) and the red-hot Los Blancos from Madrid (00:26:47).

After a short break, Matej and Simon move on to the trio of Emporio Armani Milano, Olympiakos Pireus, Partizan Belgrade (00:32:03) before moving on to Fenerbahçe Istanbuls (00:44:28) and discussing the current situation at ASVEL (00:50:22) - SPOILER: they ended up making changes on the coaching bench after this podcast was recorded.

Up next, the second team from Istanbul, Anadolu Efes (00:54:10) finally getting their first wins of the season and the very tough situation which is Maccabi Tel Aviv currently facing (00:59:23). After that, they give their thoughts on AS Monaco and Crvena Zvezda (01:04:17), talk about the surprisingly good start of Virtus Bologna (01:11:00) and the less surprisingly bad start of ALBA Berlin (01:15:03). Starting the season as early favourites, Panathinaikos Athens is already under pressure (01:18:00). Lastly, Valencia Basket is making quite an impression in it's first games so far (01:22:16).

Wrapping up this weeks Euroleague action, Matej and Simon discuss their most impactful players so far (01:25:17).

Also look out for Part 2 with the NBA season 2023/24 over/under predictions.

Enjoy the listen.
