MATCH OF THE ROUND: Derby day!

No need to write anything except - Crvena zvezda Telekom vs. Partizan NIS. One of the biggest basketball derbies in the whole Europe.

ABA League 8th round, Tuesday, 3.11.2015:

CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM - PARTIZAN NIS

Where? Pionir Hall, Belgrade

When? 18:00 CET

Story of the game: Heavy defeats in Euroleague have certainly left a scar on the red and white troops, but their current situation in ABA League is quite good. Crvena zvezda Telekom have 5 wins and 2 defeats, so if they win this match they will bounce back on the second spot. Still, the truth is that the reigning champions are still trying to get into the right rhythm. They have added some new players to the roster recently and the fans are still waiting to see the real Crvena zvezda Telekom in this season... Is there a better timing than now?

On the other side, this is probably the first time ever that Partizan NIS is entering the big Belgrade derby from the last place on the standings. However, the team with the most championship rings are getting better each day, and it seems that they need just a little spark to finally turn on their famous engines. Victory against the biggest rival would definitely do the trick...

Match-up in focus: Is it time to see who made better scouting in NBA? Probably not, because it is too soon to bring any conclusions, but it will definitely be interesting to see Quincy Miller and Kevin Jones facing each other in shirts of eternal rivals. Their duel might decided many things in big Belgrade derby.
