Dante exums father Cecil Exum passed away shortly after this event. RIP CECIL EXUM great player in his day

Girls with time machine: 'Let's go and save the dinosaurs' Boys with te machine: 'Punter bro chill please'

Although difficult to exempt responsibility from a team who lost a 10+ pt lead in 2 occasions, it's inevitable to not elect Sergio Llull the MVP of the series. With Euroleague's help, he saved Real Madrid in game 2. It's insulting that Real Madrid got benefited after starting a riot, including the ridiculous penalty for what Yabusele did.

Everything went downhill after that incident in game 2. It's a shame we couldn't finish what we started, we looked so good in those first two games. Of course, you have to commend Real players for not giving up, and especially for staying locked in in the second half of game 5. Still, you can't help but wonder what would've happened if there were no suspensions, and I definitely think justice didn't prevail in the end in this series. However, as Partizan fans, we have to be proud of what our guys accomplished this season, after not playing in the Euroleague for 8 years, and we're hoping for a better run and a bit more luck next season.

its really easy to dissect. Llull did what they've done in the past vs Olympiakos and spanoulis. a hard foul to create something out of nothing. Punter took the bait, exum came running from behind initially wanting to punch Llull behind the head, last moment just palmed him behind the head, then deck follows up by grabbing exum, exum ducks and gives what seems like a gut punch, yabusele notices, grabs exum and body slams him to oblivion, meanwhile mousa is getting punched by almost everyone (including an accidental hit by hezonja), punter gives a 1-2 combo to mousa (neck then face), lesort is running like a running back from the other side of the court to do an RKO to Mousa.

Apart from the Spanish Basketball School, there is also the Spanish Mindgame School. They're teaching mind games for dacades now, they are pros. Llul knew what he was doing and what could come out of this chaos. I don't blame them, they got what they wanted. Thing is, next year there might be other teams who might mimic these kind of behavior. And Euroleague just let it roll with ridiculous sanctions.

I wanted Partisan to win. But this is very biased. First Llul made an unsportsmanlike faul. Same type of fauls are always done in games. No big deal, maximum can get ejected for that game. Apart from yabusele (should get more, not a year calm down haha) the other suspensions were spot on.

Dante Exum is a pro. Glad he is back in the NBA. Madrid should have asterisk next to that series win. That was a terrible outcome for Partizan, they deserved to win as the better team.

As a neutral fan here, my point of view is that Punter and whole Partizan organisation should have been aware of these Spanish mind games. What I want to say is that, you have +15 in last minut of the match in Madrid, potentially 2:0 for you and as PROFESSIONAL player and CAPTAIN you need to be calm and ready for these unsportsmanlike strategies from the Spaniards. I don’t want to blame just Punter here of course, but for me I think that he had to act in more mature and calmer way than this, especially because I also think that if Partizan was on full roster they could easily smash Real with 3:0.

Great analysis. Too bad I won't be visiting Lithuania this year, but hey, some other time...

I think that it is all Punter's fault.Yes it was a hard foul but the refs called it an unsportsmanlike like it should be.Any other proffersional would not have reacted and just say a word or two but Punter has no reason to turn around with his fist up.They were up 2-0 going to Belgrade.Why?

If this happens at an Olympiakos Panathinaikos derby, the European Basketball will End at this Day .....

in case you are new , welcome to euroleague mafia

The suspensions were ridiculous. Lull not getting a suspension was horrific and made 0 sense. But that's the Real Madrid - Euroleague mafia working there. At least 1 or 2 more Madrid players should have got a game ban. Partizan would have defeated them but that wouldn't slide well with the Kings club so they played the cards in their favor. Unlucky for Partizan

1. Tavares 2. Punter's reaction to an unsportsmanlike foul 3. Partizan's inability to hold on 16points Lead for 19minutes. Although Yabusele might deserve a longer suspension, this didn't affect the series outcome at any point. Same with Llul's unsportsmanlike foul. It was just a bad foul from a sore loser. Nothing more than that. I dislike Real in general but i am mostly disappointed on Partizan's reaction. Especially when the best and most experienced coach in Europe on their bench. How on earth they managed to lose 3 consecutive games, especially the last one. They lost a 16points lead from 35+ yo veterans. Lol

What exactly did Llull do to deserve a suspension for next game ? Someone can explain to me ? I only see a hard foul.

People are forgetting that Madrid didn't really have Tavres for games 1 or 2, Madrid's best player by far. His return had a far bigger impact that the suspensions IMO. Yabusele's suspension was way too lenient but so was Punter's, you can't start swinging in a basketball game

Great video!!! Just to put a couple of things into perspective, a) Sergio Llull"s involvement is just the harsh foul on Punter and the mainly verbal fight with him afterwards. If none of the rest happened his punishment would have been an unsportsmanlike foul and maybe a technical at most, so I do not understand why there was so much talk about him not being suspended. Having said that though his play is straight out of Kevin McGee"s playbook in the semifinal in Munich in 1989 where he provoked Giannakis and managed to turn the lost semifinal for Maccabi. Llull took it even further and managed to turn a whole series and in my eyes he is the main reason Real is through, or reversely Punter is the main reason Partizan is out as if he had kept his calm there is no way Partizan would have not swept them in Belgrade. The only reason for him being suspended is his record or rather the record of the Spanish players of his generation, that were great players but at the same time sore losers, provocateurs, arrogant and always in cohorts with the system. b) Way more than Llull I do not understand why Musa , Hezonja and Exum were not suspended. Musa is involved in just about every punch thrown, and is no excuse that he is the recipient while he misses his, Hezonja is one of the first to get involved and it can not be an excuse that his main punch ended on no other than Musa, and Exum is the real instigator of the fight as until his involvement the whole thing would have ended with fouls and technicals and it can not be an excuse his near death experience from Jabusele. c) There is no comparison with the malice at the Palace for many reasons. The main is that in Detroit the main issue were the fights between players and the fans, that was why the Indiana players received such harsh punishments and the Pistons players just a fraction of those. The second was that it was an early regular season game and the punishments did not compromise the validity of the competition. In this case it was a decisive playoff game and Euroleague needed to think about the whole competition, as harsher and more punishments would have just resulted to rigging the competition in favor of their favorite team Barcelona giving them a wild card to the final. Of course they ended up favoring their other favorite team Madrid, but you can not have everything in life and if there is one thing for certain in European Basketball is that some Spanish team is going to benefit from matters not related to the game...

looks like a draymond game 5 type of incident

Good analysis. GOOD VIDEO. Partizan did not have the strength to return such a dirty shot in the second game. nicely done in the direction yABUSELE, Llull, dECK. eUROLEAGUE SHOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM. EITHER SHE SHOULD HAVE PUNISHED ALL DRACONICLY OR NOT PUNISH ANY PLAYER. IN THIS WAY, SHE JUST DECIMATED THE PARTIZAN WITH A SHAMEFUL MOVE. SHAME ON eUROLEAGUE SHAME ON FOR rEAL mADRID.

Real Madrid strategy: "If we can't beat them ... beat them."

You said it all.

What a great video u made. I really hope f4 format ends and the euroleague has play off series till the end. Those series make history

I think it's fair Llull didn't get suspended. He provoked the fight by committing a hard foul but then didn't really participate in the melee. A hard foul itself is not suspension worthy.

iii PARTIZAN I SAMO PARTIZAAAN🖤

Hello guys! Love your content! I disagree with this take to an extent. Partizan had multiple chances to finish off madrid, in game 5 they were up by 15+ with a full team (except for avramovic), while madrid was missing suspended yabusele and injured deck, poirier and cornelie P.s. I agree that yabusele should have been given a stricter punishment. P.s. the argument about madrid's budget doesn't really make sense, you cannot sign players in the middle of a playoff series, you play with what you've got

why not mention Musa as a primary reason for the last game W? hes the top scorer and a rebound away from being top rebounder also in that closing game 5

How on earth did llull get away without suspension?

Advice: If you're losing a game or series, get the worst player you have in game and let him punch a best guy in opponent's team. Oppenent's team will get worse punishments from Euroleague and you will end up winning series. Ps. Don't do this if you aren't Real Madrid's coach.

Great NBA 1980's and 1990's style BBall court fight but nowhere near the Malice in the Palace, The Malice was between first players on the court then players kickin fans asses up in the stands. Both very different!!!

Partizan have only themselves to blame. You just don't respond to provocations when you are 15 ahead 1 minute before the match ends. It seems they have learned nothing from this series.

Partizan really gave the series away. Like come on 15pt lead, about to go up 2-0 and with 2 Chances to close out the series at home with crazy fans? You can’t lose your temper like that. Madrid needed anything to come back in this series and they got it from Punter. I‘m not saying it was good what Real did, but in this situation partizan has got to be smarter. I‘m telling you if Punter doesn’t do anything and just takes the foul Belgrade sweeps Madrid in Game 3 at home 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice recap, congrats. It is nothing new my bro, classical Spanish shameless unsportsmanlike moves. This was not a promotion of sport, it was a promotion of pure power, big budget and influential people.

Both teams should have faced exemplary punishment. Last year Bacon got away with a chockehold and now this? Yes, let Barca advance with no game played straight to the final, if that is what it takes to protect the game we all love! As for Punter's reaction, look at what Guduric did to Shaq in the last minute of game 5. Shaq was smart enough NOT to respond in kind

Punter's reaction was justified and he didn't even swing. He was just pissed cause that foul was way over the top. EVERYONE knows that players rarely want to start throwing punches and it escalates to that after Deck and Yabusele got involved. Euroleague really screwed this up in my opinion

Partizan need to calm down. We know real madrid has the best floppers in the entire basketball world..

Real Madrid will never be rememberd for wining Euroligue only 4 this idiotik move.Thk 4 this klip and every singl one one this canal.

This was the saddest moment in modern Serbian basketball. Before Punter's inexplicable reaction, Partizan was humiliating Real in Madrid, on the way to a clean sweep in Belgrade. Partizan would have finished the job on May 2nd, before the school shooting and the national tragedy which happened on May 3rd and seriously affected Game 4. Partizan will not have a chance like this again... and it's a long story why.

This guy saying that, both teams at full strength Partizan won both games. First two games we had no center, team star Tavares was out and backup Poirier too. We had to play 50 years old Anthony Randolph at 5. Come on.

Partizan was robbed

Real should be banned but it's Euroleague's favorite team !!! Shame for Real and dirty Llull !!!!

Llull fouled Punter hard and unnecessary but it should've just been an unsportsmanlike foul on him. No reason for Punter so turn around hold up his fist to Llull's face! The foul didn't even risk an injury to him… Don't expect the other Real players to hold back if you threaten to punch one of their teammates. Overall disappointing take on the situation. Either way, Partizan lost and nobody outside of the fans for that club cares about it anymore.

Robbery....what to say. Its sad how Partizan lose.

You can't call it european malice in the Palace, there was no exchange with audience.

if partizan keep this squad, they will be unstopable next year

I hate that basketball is "footbalising" in faking injuries. You laugh about Musa covering his face after Lessort's shove away, and it is quite ridiculous, but he at least didn't put the theater that Exum made with crutches (he arrived in Belgrade jumping and hopping), and worst of all, he would have been elegant and not using excuses after the amazing game played yesterday in Madrid. Exum should learn how to be humble, and stick to basketball like Obradovic, who was a true gentleman.

Real Madrid is this team that has stolen most games and trophies in the history of sports, any given sport. They have been favoured with outrageous decisions and clear violations of the rules for years and years. THIS incident and the way punishments were attributed is probably the worst ever. One more example of Euroleague’s disgraceful criteria and tainted core.

BRUH LLULL HAS CRUSHED IN THE PANTER AND THEN PANTER TRY TO DEFENDE LLULL HAVE TO BE PUNISHT MORE 🤬🤬I AM A PARTIZAN PLAYER MY PLACE IS FOR PARTIZAN EVRITHING IS PARTIZAN IN SERBIA IN BELGRADE

Punter ruined the series for his team. Period. He should have just laughed in his face when he fouled him.

Why was Rudy ejected?

Its not the same as Malice in the Palace bro. These are just players scuffle 😅

Real always has the soft hand of refs and euroleague i hipe in every game for their lost because this is so frustrating

It feels comforting to see that others see it too. I love Partizan, so my opinion is clouded by emotions. We feel tricked and robbed. It feels like, when Real fans yelled "Euroleague mafia" in the game 2, it was not a critique, but a reminder and a call for help. Not starting some stupid conspiracy theory, just saying how it feels in the hindsight. You can say that length of benches decided in the end, which is a basketball category, but Partizan had no problems with that until now, Partizan was the best team in Euroleague in the 2nd half of the season, and that became an issue only after what happened in Madrid in the game 2, and the league's reaction to that. Euroleague not only allowed, but played a role and assisted in situation where a violent non-basketball event, in my opinion decided the outcome of the basketball series. It was obvious as soon as they announced their decisions. People noticed right away something was wrong about it. This is such a stain on the league. PAO owner has a point: Now if basketball doesn't go well, is it a viable option to start a fight and try hurt opponent or lure them in extreme reactions? The answer is probably- No. Somehow I doubt Euroleague measures would work out in favour of Partizan or, for example Žalgiris. Not making any accusations, just saying, something seriously stinks in all this. I'm not really sure what it is, but Partizan obviously got the shitty part of the stick.

That was nothing compared to Malice in the Palace

11:00 yes!!💯

Just so were clear. Just because real ended up winning doesn't mean the bans favored them. Should Yabusele get 25+ games? Yes obviously. But you cant punish a slam with 25 games and a punch with 1 or 2. All the punishments were minimized for the players to make the f4 (except Yavusele ofc). And the team that was favored by that was the team that was up 2-0. Punching a player is a 4+game suspension and punter lessort deck would(and should) have not played in the f4. Also the euroleague president is Serbian. The thing that changed the series was Tavares return. He is what punter is to Partizan.

kad gledam ovo svatim koliki smo mi baksuzi ja stvarno neverujem

I mean i am an Oly fan and you know how much Llull hurt us in the final but why should he be punished if he didnt hit anyone other that the hard foul in the play..Prob will see the whole thing again but i dont think he attacked KP outside the play..So no i don't think he should have been punished in a degree higher that a flagrant and an ejection the rest of the punishments was a joke

Incredible e pensare che è finita con Madrid vincitore dell'evento eurolega!!

23 for Madrid must be related to some higher up. No way he shouldnt have been suspended. He was definitely scared of other dude

1:49 had me laughing like someone on crack and weed at the same time

Real is the most dirty team and of course the most favored of all other groups

Ok but what about philippines vz australia ..

Way to disrespect best team in Europe. First team ever to come back from 0-2 deficit. Shame on you mate.

every partizan fan knew that we will be f*cked by the euroleague and by the suspensions . just aint f*cking fair how they handed out no suspension for llull and just gave yabusele a five game suspension without a single fine. just so unfair

Its amazing how Exum wasnt punished at all. he started the whole thing by punching Llull from behind and when Real players involved to protect Llull he punched Deck in the stomach an d got away without the punishment. Also Lull was punished for what he did, unsportsman like foul. He didnt participated in the brawl in any way, why would he be punished for it?

I see a lot of people writing about Exum and Partizan faking the injury. Without trying to get into that, I do think that Exum didn't get a suspension because EL was certain he wouldn't play and was injured. Whether intentionally or not, the injury tricked the officials because there's no way he wouldn't get a suspension if Deck and Lessort got one, at least one game, in my opinion. So maybe look at it as Exum wasn't suspended on Partizan side and Llull on Real's side.

the fact that real madrid won the series shows how wrong the euroleague handled this situation.

i think Rudy was available for playing instead of Llull

Let's be clear. Suspensions must be really harder. But Llull is not responsible for the reaction of the rest of the players. He did a foul and got his punishment correctly.

How can you still say Dante Exum was injured? He played 20+ minutes 4 days later 😂

punter should have got a minimum suspension of 5 games too

Rich cannot loose.

I still have no respect for Yabusele

This is exactly why most of European basketball fans absolutely hate Real Madrid. "Royal" club my ass. Everything about this incident is a joke, but that's how it is in Euroleague. Everybody would have much rather seen loud and proud partizan fans in Kaunas 🤷‍♂️

Yabusele is clearly a big coward 😂

How do you have a 50 Million Euro budget and be on the verge of getting swept 3-0 to a much lesser club? Real is bad. Barça is the way to go in the ACB.

That was gangsta from madrid ngl

Yabusele would smack them all by himself lmao🤣. They started the fight and then cry because they got their ass kicked. Thank got they got swept after that

That's why people Hate Real Madrid... but in the end the EuroLeague Officials are the one to blame. Yabusele should have been suspended for at least one year, Liull should have been suspended as the one who started with hos unfair play and the list goes on...

doslo vreme da i kod nas samo crnci igraju😢

Let's leave some space and dedicate the championship and the emphatic victory and of Panathinaikos against this arrogant team to Partizan too, who should be in the final 4 last year. Real madrid took the lesson they deserved.

Yabusele should stay out for at least one year. It's a shame.

Bro never compare this candy ass scuffle to "malice in the palace" smh..

Honestly after the school shootings I could care less about the results of a basketball game

El que venga a madrid que se prepare a qui no se regala nada se lucha hasta el final

So even in basketball Madrid just keep on robbing other teams 😂

Yabusele must be jailed

Dante exhumed

BRUH LLULL HAS CRUSHED IN THE PANTER AND THEN PANTER TRY TO DEFENDEHIS SELF. LLULL HAVE TO BE PUNISHT MORE 🤬🤬I AM A PARTIZAN PLAYER MY PLACE IS FOR PARTIZAN EVRITHING IS PARTIZAN IN SERBIA IN BELGRAD. YOU CAN DELETE THE COMMENT UNTHER THIS 1.

I am red star fan,but real is most dirty club i have ever seen. Shame that punter couldn't control his anger cause madrid got what they wanted.

First of all, they should punish Lull at once, because he made a gross and provocative personal mistake - because this was the reason for a whole shit! Unfortunately for Partizan, it paid off for Madrid to play ugly and dirty basketball, rather than playing the game they oppose a better competitor!!!

Damn..if u don't wanna be fouled then play ping pong or some other sport..just proves how soft you are..let him know

as Zvezda fan what a disgrace ofc they did it cuz ONE Real cant be knocked out from some small irrelevant partizan by fair play

Shame on Euroleague and shame on R Madrid

lesson learned from this: Stop crying and build a deeper team next time, if you really want to be in the F4

Partizan won title last season

Lessort's revenge came one year later with Panathinaikos teaching a lesson to those arrogant Madrit "superplayers", mwahahahaha! Yet l wonder if another team did that, what would the penalties be.

God DAMN I hate Real Madrid.
