From bad to worse, the Barça It rolls down a slope to which there is no end in sight. In Monaco added a new defeat in the last game of the year (91-71), the fourth in a row, to complete a ‘horribilis’ December and both the sensations given off by the team and the body language transmitted by the players of grimace They do not bode well with him Madrid at the doors (on day 3 visit the Palau in the Euroleague).
He Monaco was one of the four teams in the last Final Four. A team with ambition, solid and aggressive, led by the brilliant Mike James (20 points) and Diallo (19), who turned the game at the Salle Gaston Medecin into a party, taking advantage of a broken Barça, without a soul, that becomes depressed at the slightest setback. Only Parker, Parra and Kalinic They exceeded ten points. The Barça record is beginning to be terrifying: 7 defeats in the last ten games.
Without references
Immersed in a crisis of height, the Barça It has even lost its references. Satoranskyespecially, and to a lesser extent Laprovittola They have fallen into a depression that has left the team without a compass, something that Jokubaitis cannot solve when he takes over.

With Mike James in command of operations, the Monaco He shot up to 16 points in the first quarter. He Barça He tried to hold on to the game at halftime as best he could (47-36) with some proud action. But he always found himself in tow, surpassed on both sides of the court by a very physical rival, who reached a scandalous advantage (89-59) and handed him the sixth defeat in the Euroleague, which costs him second position.
