Premise: between the first, even if cohabiting, and the penultimate - Scafati, precisely, then relegated - there should be no match. But the Campania match, until a month and a half ago, would have created more than one reason for concern for a Virtus still searching for an identity. The black and white identity is now quite clear. And Virtus has the merit of closing the matter immediately, as cynical (and therefore stronger) teams know how to do. Scafati, who should also play with a knife between his teeth, for a remote, but real, possibility of saving himself, has only one advantage. But it is destiny that Toko makes people talk about him even when he is not there. The Georgian has ended up in the sights of Barcelona, ​​ready to offer him, for next year, a three-year agreement. Toko is happy in Bologna, but Barcelona is no less charming. It is difficult that the Black V can block him. Even if from now until the end of June, there will be the possibility of starting certain discussions. Precautionary rest for captain Belinelli. Speaking of discussions: the one about the primacy remains open. To secure the first place, right on the last day, it will be necessary to beat Trapani, on Sunday, at the Segafredo Arena. And Ivanovic? "We played seriously to win – says Dusko –, and when we are focused we do well both in front and behind. But if even one player loses concentration it is a problem for everyone. In the playoffs it will be important to always be attentive".

Yesterday evening we had you anticipated exclusively the possible departure of Edon Maxhuni laid down by the Givova Scafati Now the news is confirmed: the Finnish playmaker is ready to leave Campania to move to Turkey where he will complete the season with the Pinar Karsiyaka Now the question is only one: How will Scafati react to Maxhuni's farewell The team led by coach Marco Ramondino will have to take cover as soon as possible finding an alternative so as not to lose ground in the fight for salvation email and website in this browser for the next time I comment is back in fashion for the Givova Scafati Scafati The Campania team ended up in the eye of the storm for alleged irregularities in the recording of player statistics A situation that adds to the peaceful protest carried out by the organized fans of Scafati at the end of the match To report the news is Agrotoday which explains how on Sunday evening at the PalaMangano the journalist from “Le Iene” Stefano Corti was present is investigating some discrepancies found in the players' statistics Obviously we will know more only when the program airs its report on the subject the journalist Stefano Corti in the general commotion in the backstage of the structure the 118 ambulance had to intervene due to an illness that struck the press officer of the Campania company and who seems to be precisely the objective of the journalist of "Le Iene" Now there are many hypotheses circulating in the city where the atmosphere around the world of basketball has darkened where there are journalists of the well-known Mediaset format there is an air of investigation that most of the time ends in scandals the FIP has also decided to open an investigation into what is supposedly happening in Scafati It is very likely that the information discovered by “Le Iene” has already arrived in the Roman buildings And so the Federal Prosecutor has decided to shed light on what happened following a note from the Serie A Basketball League has opened an investigation aimed at verifying and ascertaining the validity of possible alterations to the statistical findings of some men's Serie A basketball games hypothetically relevant from a disciplinary perspective” Manca Toko Shengelia for which there is talk of a three-year proposal from Barcelona, ​​captain Marco Belinelli rests for the entire 40 minutes and so at the start of the match Ivanovic relies on Hackett, Cordinier, Clyburn, Polonara and Zizic. Excellent start for Virtus who, with the exception of the initial 2-0, takes up the challenge immediately. Achille Polonara and Isaia Cordinier lead the Bianconeri ahead 7-14 at 5'. The double-digit advantage arrives already at 6' at 9-19. The challenge has only one master, the Virus that disposes without worries of the rivals from Campania and reaches the maximum advantage +19 on 15-34 taking advantage of the shot, almost perfect from long distance with a partial of 5 out of 6 from long distance. The challenge always remains in the hands of the black and whites who always hold a nice little nest egg of points of advantage, reinforced by a Cordinier already at 18 points at half-time, GIVOVA SCAFATI: Cinciarini 21, Anim 13, Miaschi 7, Pinkins 22, Akin 4; Sangiovanni 6, Zanelli 3, Sorokas 11, Ulaneo none, Pezzella none, Borrelli none, Sakota none.

The changes continue at Givova Scafati in view of the final sprint to avoid relegation. The Italian team seems on the verge of losing Edon Maxhuni, a Finnish playmaker who had arrived in January from Strasburg Sources have told Backdoor Podcast that Edon Maxhuni is getting closer to a move to the Turkish league and he's expected to leave Givova Scafati Maxhuni is averaging 11.6 points per game with 2.2 assists The Finnish international also played in Germany in the 2022-2023 season how Scafati will decide to move now that Maxhuni's departure seems imminent The team coached by Ramondinois facing a crisis that does not seem to be over with eight defeats in the last eight games and a league table situation that is becoming increasingly difficult Scafati falls once again under the blows of Reggio Emilia MVP of the match Cassius winston which ends with 21 points and 7 assists In the conference the Patron of Givova Scafati Basket Aniello Longobardi makes mea culpa and announces the imminent relegation for the yellow and blues Zanelli 6: He plays more than usual and does his part when called upon Anima 3: a match bordering on the horrible it seems like a distant relative of the one seen in previous seasons Sorokas 6: usual combative match for the Lithuanian who finished with 10 points and 8 assists in 30 minutes Mischief 5: he never manages to get into rhythm Pinkins 4,5: usual game this year where everything seems to be going wrong for him Cinciarini 6: the only one who really plays well for Scafati despite this the data on lost balls is very worrying Maxhuni 5,5: first half affected by three close fouls He suffers a lot from the physical miss match with Faye and Gombauld Coach Ramondino 6: he tries to do his best but the technical strength of the team does not allow it Barford 6: played below his seasonal average he doesn't look out of place given the poor team performance by Scafati he took down the yellow and blues with his great explosiveness Smith 6: he lights up at the most important moment of the match and knocks Scafati down Uglietti 6: usual great defensive phase accompanied by a good offensive phase Vitals 6: few points scored but a lot of substance and dedication the usual game of substance from the Reggio captain 6 Grants: Explosiveness is always his strongest weapon however he did not express his full potential in this match chill 6: He leaves the responsibilities to others and does his homework well a typical performance by an Italian winger Cheatham 6: he doesn't look out of place but his performance is below his seasonal average Coach Privy 6,5: the match was interpreted in the right way from the first minute of the game He didn't force the intensity too much and his Reggio won without any particular problems Scafati loses at home against Treviso the penultimate at PalaMangano with the defeat that increasingly smacks of A2 for coach's team RamondinoGood performance by the yellow and blues who give it their all but cannot resist the Americans from Treviso MVP of the match Olisevicius who closes with 23 and 4 rebounds and 3 assists he interrupts his match early due to an injury Zanelli 7.5: best on the field for Scafati great game closed with 15 points and 4 rebounds and in defense he lets the pass several times Sorokas 6: always one of the last to give up one of the many positive performances this year Mischief 5: he never fully gets into the game and misses the triple to tie the game at the end Pinkins 6: good performance under the boards but he can't score from the 6.75 arc anymore Heartfelt performance despite some inaccuracies he doesn't look out of place for the poor performances under the basket of the Treviso big men Bowman 7.5: in the last quarter he leads his team to victory Usual alien-like solitary plays for the former Warriors Harrison 7.5: glacial from 3 and free throws his signature is indelible on the victory of Treviso Torresani 6.5: always a lot of substance on the defensive side Masculine 5.5: dull match for the Neapolitan playmaker who never manages to fully get into the game Deck 5.5: it struggles a lot under the boards Caroline 5: the worst on the field for Treviso He closes with 0/2 from the field in 11 minutes of play he struggles a lot under the boards against the tall Scafatesi Olisevicius 7.5: best on the field for Treviso He closes with 23 points with 9/14 from the field Paulicap 6: the best in the Treviso long department He closes with 9 rebounds but leaves the team early for reaching the foul limit Macura 6.5: great clean shooting and great substance in defense The match scoreboard Yesterday evening, Le Iene broadcast the report on the alleged LBA Stats Manipulation. An affair that has seen the involvement of first Scafati and, last night, also Naples has issued a statement regarding this fact Both companies have admitted their lack of involvement in the charges The report by Le Iene is based on four key points which are clearly highlighted by the same since not all questions have been answered Here are the points raised by the Mediaset broadcast: The correspondent of Le Iene takes a sample of three LBA matches after speaking with the collaborator of a betting agency who detected suspicious plays on under/over assists These are just three examples reported in the report it is not possible to say with certainty whether these errors refer only to these individual games and whether the errors are only those reported Balance 7: business as usual for the Croatian double double of 16+10 giving the impression of not even trying Where 7: on the pitch he always does the right thing sometimes even sacrificing personal plays for the good of the team Of the Valley 7: complicated start where he also misses some free throws hitting mid-range shots and finishing off his teammates' assists Burnell 6,5: energy and post plays and even some point-forward action Ivanovich 6: He dictates the pace of the team even if he never scores from long distance Mobius 7: convincing on both halves of the field A player who is constantly improving and who could be very useful to Germani in view of the playoffs Rivers 6: inconspicuous but still precious as a glue-guy Cournooh 6: competent both with the ball in hand and as a guard coach Poeta 7: once again he knows when to let his players run like in the first half and when to slow down the pace so as not to tire them out too much Sakota 6: He helps build play and is quite accurate from the field Zanelli 6: decent impact coming off the bench Anima 5,5: he is the most talented of his team but after a good start he faded away like all of Scafati Sorokas 5,5: a few plays where he shows all his experience but it's not enough Pinkins 5: he has the physique and talent but he often forgets it he seems like a bad version of that great player seen in the past years always in Scafati Cinciarini 6,5: he is alone on the island and if Givova has to rely on a thirty-eight year old to save themselves perhaps there are more than a few problems the tall Brescians have an easy life against him coach Ramondino 5,5: the material available is certainly not top-notch but in this Scafati we have not seen the fire needed to fight to avoid relegation After an intense and balanced match that seemed never to end the Givova Scafati inflicts fifth consecutive defeat onEstra Pistoia and celebrates Jovanovic's debut Estra starts well thanks to an unstoppable Silins The pace is high and the excellent shooting percentages of the two teams immediately light up the game combined with the points from the free throw line The percentages begin to drop and the turnovers of Markovski's men weigh but Scafati does not take advantage and at halftime the Tuscans lead 38-45 Pistoia begins the second half touching a double-digit advantage thanks to Christon but on the other side of the court there is a very inspired Gray ready to close the gap and ignite the Scafati crowd A super Jovanovic scores the points that put his team ahead for the first time in the match but Silins' prompt response brings Pistoia back to lead by 3 points at the end of the third period in which the attacks are very sterile until Cinciarini's three-pointer Silins' return allows Estra to regain control of the game leading the match to the last possessions point by point but a lay-up by Forrest brings the tie back to 5 seconds from the end but the shot is blocked by the second iron A.Cinciarini 7: 47 minutes played at 38 years old is not at all a given He displays a lot of aggression and confirms himself as the leader of the team He suffers fouls and collects points from the free throw line the offensive contribution comes more from his assists The credit for having brought home this match is largely his R.Gray 7,5: after a fluctuating first half Forced to leave at the beginning of the second overtime due to fouls E.Stewart 7: performance similar to that of his teammate Gray In the end he decides the match by working well on Silins and signing the decisive break for Scafati's victory Overall he does well on both sides of the court K.Pinkins 6,5: dull performance for the center from Scafati if it weren't for the season high of 15 rebounds and the three steals that guarantee him a wide pass mark D.Akin 5: used at the beginning of the match with shooting errors and a naive foul that cost him the bench for the rest of the match thanks to the excellent performance of Jovanovic it does not have a big impact on the match it guarantees physicality and presence on the rebound Miaschi 6,5: 8 points of great specific weight N.Jovanovic 7: great debut for the former Trento player and good impact on the match He starts uphill committing heavy fouls from 2+1 then alternates good defenses with points in attack D.Pilot 7,5: after the good performance of his team against Trento comes the confirmation With a Jovanovic just thrown into the fray he managed to draw a noteworthy match alternating characteristics of the quintets but maintaining a solid offensive contribution within them S.Christon 6,5: incisive in delicate moments as demonstrated by the triple of the tie with 3 seconds left in the first overtime when he can no longer find the way to the basket and is forced to surrender M.Forrest 7: He is the last of his team to give up he makes the mini-breaks that allow Estra to stay in the game It is not his night from the arc and on certain occasions he messes up The 12% from the arc weighs heavily on the outcome of this game Fifth naive foul that grants 3 free throws to Stewart already in double double at halftime (10+10) has had a very high level of performance and certainly deserves more E.Paschall 6: uncomfortable customer for the opponents but he lacks shooting in the crucial phases of the match It is worth highlighting the growth of this player He is easily beaten by Jovanovic and commits a few too many fouls but he will have the chance to make up for it G.Benetti 5,5: a few minutes on the court to give Paschall a breather then to replace the tall players employed with 4 fouls G.Della Rosa 6: He makes his debut with a nice triple and is often a good alternative to rest his teammates Z.Markovski 5,5: his main goal is to limit the opponent's attack and he succeeds perfectly in the first half conceding too much to Scafati's offensive leaders The only 3 points from the bench indicate a clear gap between the quintet and the reserves Markovski prefers reduced rotations with consequent poor contribution from the bench to which perhaps he does not attribute the right trust Venice wins a very tough match with Trieste and puts a serious mortgage on the race for the last positions for the play-offs all while waiting for the postponed match that will see Bologna opposed to Brescia You can listen to our episode from our Official site, from our channel Spreaker and from major streaming platforms and not only because of the LBA statistics manipulation affair or the double European debacle of Olimpia Milano with Rayjon Tucker who is about to leave Virtus while Rob Gray has already said goodbye to coach Ramondino and Scafati After the first rumours of a possible halt to the negotiations due to discrepancies between the entourage of Rayjon Tucker and AEK Athens, the parties have reached an agreement to finalize the transfer. According to what was reported by Christos Tsaltas Tucker signed with Virtus in the summer but struggled a lot In December he seemed close to returning to Reyer Venezia with whom he had won and shown all his potential For the former Bucks this season he averaged 5.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes in the league while in the EuroLeague he produced 3.4 points and 1 rebound in 9.9 minutes with 29.6% from three points a past also in the NBA from 2019 to 2022 with the Jazz With Reyer Venezia he produced a season of 14.7 points 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.5 minutes in 2023-2024 After the rumours that emerged immediately after the match against Napoli the official announcement of the separation between Scafati e Rob GrayThe best scorer in LBA is therefore leaving our country to close the season Here is the press release from the Campania club: “Givova Scafati Basket announces that it has consensually terminated the contract that bound the athlete Rob Gray to the yellow and blue club”.  The former EuroCup MVP averaged 21.1 points per game with Scafati adding 1.7 assists and shooting 36.9% from three points He scored at least 30 points on four occasions with a high of 34 against Pistoia in the 11th round of the first leg for the post Gray we look at players already visaed or at the market of community players in A2 at Libertas Livorno who however must identify a replacement before releasing him The incoming market is also moving for VareseThe Lombard team has announced the signing of Ethan Esposito and the passage of Nicholas Virginio in Verona the team from which Esposito himself comes Esposito has tied himself to Varese with a multi-year contract who grew up playing basketball in the United States where he moved with his family at 15 he returned to Italy thanks to his passport and Italian status Two seasons in Udine before moving to Verona in 2023: in this A2 season he was averaging 11.8 points and 5.3 rebounds but he preferred to accept a 1+1 from Verona the red and white team has terminated the contract with the 2003 class player who immediately afterwards moved to Verona but above all he is the counterweight to a Hands in delirium of omnipotence The San Diego guard scores 42 points in 33' in a delirium of basketball omnipotence like only in the preseason in Minorca when he had made Real Madrid tremble alone 5/7 from the free throw line and 44 of evaluation punishing Scafati's missed drops It was supposed to be the clash against Rob Gray: the Scafati guard flew to Galatasaray during the week but Hands remained in "battle between bombers" mode Assui 7: very important performance beyond the numbers he always puts his body on the rebound and throws himself into the fray to dirty the balls without fear probably due to a misunderstanding with the bench his defensive reactivity has knocked out Cinciarini by coming out with the help and recovery on the 7 meters then Varese continues to pay on rebounds and in the low post he still has to learn everything He splits Scafati's defense with a deadly 4/4 from 3 (5/5 from the field) and puts a lot of aggression in defense on the outside If it weren't for an unreal Hands he would be our MVP Bradford 5: struggles to contain Cinciarini in defense does not put the aggression of his teammates on the outside Esposito 6.5: just arrived and immediately 17' on the field Tyus 6.5: a couple of experienced magicians from a veteran and already Euroleague champion but that's enough to help Openjobmetis win Coach Kastritis 8: first victory in Italy and in Varese There is a lot of him in this Openjobmetis He took a Garibaldian but inconsistent team and turned it inside out in an almost opposite direction Cinciarini 6.5: in the second half he tries to get Scafati into rhythm by getting out of the aggression of the Varese guards Mischief 7: two torpedoes that keep Scafati alive In the end the numbers fail him (4/11 from the field) but without Rob Gray he is the one with that bit of talent in attack Pinkins 7: he has on his conscience a 2/6 from the free throw line that cries out for vengeance but his body is a factor (9 rebounds) against which Varese struggles to find the measure Zanelli 7: he sneaks in from the bench and scores 3 bombs that give Scafati a little offensive talent Coach Ramondino 5: decides never to drop on Hands but he is unable to win or even maintain the +9 from the first leg Dolomiti Energia Trento returns to victory on their home court beating Givova Scafati in a rollercoaster game that was resolved only in the final minutes L'Aquila immediately tries to escape with plays by Ford and Ellis but Scafati stays glued thanks to an excellent Cinciarini The zone defense set up by coach Ramondino slows down the pace of the Trentino attack allowing the guests to get ahead on the Cinciarini-Pinkins axis Bayehe's triple gives the black and whites a breath of fresh air dragged along by Niang's penetrations and another bomb by captain Forray But it is still Cinciarini who leads Scafati's comeback which ends the first half down by four: 46-42 Ellis 7: less precise in his conclusions than in the last period but still good at serving his teammates on pick and rolls Cale 6,5: after a good start he disappears a bit from the game in attack Ford 8: he picks up after the great performance against Brescia with his usual forays that put the opposing defense in difficulty despite shooting poorly from the perimeter Pecchia 5,5: Scafati is good at slowing down the pace preventing him from playing his favorite situations Niang 8,5: game bordering on perfection When he goes for penetration he always gets to the rim he takes the stage in the most complicated moment managing the two-man games very well Forray 7: he makes a couple of important triples for the Trentino extensions Mawugbe 7: after struggling for a long time he proved decisive in the final with 4 points in a row and the double block on Cinciarini Lamb 7: He plays aggressively and is good at earning fouls on drives Bayehe 7: he is ready to come off the bench He protects the rim well and finds points even on the spur of the moment Badalau SV: two minutes on the pitch where he was not ready Zukauskas 6,5: still inaccurate in shooting Coach Galbiati 7: The match was full of ups and downs but in the end the experience of his team allowed them to prevail Sakota 5: in his first outing he fails to make an impact Zanelli 4,5: in attack he makes many wrong decisions in defense he is often targeted and beaten Anima 5: Cale takes him out of the game Ulaneo SV: in two minutes he finds a nice basket struggles in attack while fighting well on the rebound Mischief 5,5: two baskets on the counterattack but it's not his night in shooting Pinkins 6,5: he makes himself heard under the basket Cinciarini 7,5: in the first half he makes practically no mistakes (16 points with only one missed shot) in the offensive phase In the second he continues with his excellent choices Maxhuni 6,5: after 30 minutes where he was limited as best as possible by Ellis and Pecchia in the final he brought his team closer with two triples and three free throws Coach Ramondino 5,5: step forward compared to the latest performances La Trieste basketball he passed in extra time Givova Scafati after a thriller race to secure a place in the next Final Eight in Turin Many protests on the field by players and fans but above all a Nello Longobardi's very harsh outburst coach Jovanovic did not show up at the press conference but Longobardi himself to protest against the LBA and the three I'll tell you right away that the coach won't come no one will come to talk about Givova Scafati Basket besides me has decided to take Scafati out of Serie A they can tell us immediately so that we can put our soul at peace we try to save money and we try to do something better than coming here to get poisoned by crazy choices who was a disgrace for how he refereed us and for the choices made on the field Trieste complained last Sunday about the refereeing of the home game and rightly so tonight they had one-sided refereeing despite playing against unequal forces but this is not the first time those who come here on Sunday to get angry that here there is something above our capabilities and our possibilities That something is the refereeing decisions This is a sport where the refereeing decisions have an excessive impact Here tonight we had a meter of unilateral and one-way choices by a trio after Mazzoni and Noci who made us lose the match in Naples where I texted on my phone with the referee who agreed with me otherwise on Sunday we close the arena and avoid coming here and being made fun of by the gentlemen in grey with a team playing for safety: there were some incredible choices The choice of the breakthrough called by Sahin at the request of Instant Replay of Trieste Something that has never happened in my opinion that a breakthrough in attack was called and then it was chosen to give the ball to them and to assign the two fouls to Stewart This is yet another choice of one-sided refereeing of the entire match I can also not come anymore and not put money into this sport The referees in this sport are too decisive and too offensively one-sided my institutions know that at this moment there is someone who has decided that Givova Scafati must be relegated This is a system and there is definitely something to it because the referees always referee against us we also pay the referees who come here to referee us and we do as the others do Otherwise it is clear that this will become a powder keg because I probably won't come to see the next matches because I understood what the system has decided tonight sponsors and everyone else that there is a system that has decided to eliminate this reality that is probably pissing them off my fans and everyone must know that tonight was yet another proof of what we are suffering We all make sacrifices and deserve respect So congratulations to Trieste who believed in it in the newspapers and also on the field for sure Tonight we had yet another proof that we are the weak link in a system where we will not be a provincial capital we will certainly not have the appeal that another place can have and this system is deciding the relegation of Scafati I said it to Sahin (who I considered one of the best referees) but tonight it was shameful one-sided refereeing sorry for the inconvenience and not the outburst Tomorrow we will publish a clip with all the misdeeds of this trio which probably does not anger the fans who come here and pay for the ticket or the clubs that spend the money A game with a significant weight for the fight for salvation and with a development not suitable for the faint of heart The challenge between Vanoli Cremona and Givova Scafati sees continuous back and forth between the two teams with both having reached the maximum advantage on +8 Gray and Akin engage in a duel against Willis and Owens with heavy baskets and intense plays Willis 7.5: it's games like these that are asked of the former Pistoia the Arkansas guard responds with very heavy baskets and on the other difficulty coefficient Good contribution also in rebounding (3) and in direction (3) Top scorer of his team with 22 points and again flashes of talent that he has Jones xnumx: scores 5 points all in the first quarter Between the fourth quarter and overtime Brotto prefers Willis and Lacey and has to watch Davis 5.5: better in directing (8 assists with several chocolates for Owens) than in the realization phase (7 points with 3/12 overall) More cross than delight than usual with also a lot of confusion (3 lost balls) Fortunately the errors did not cost the result From the arc he doesn't find the bottom of the net (0/3) but he does several things that don't go into the statistics and he "struggles" defensively Nikolic 6.5: solid performance by the Balkan winger who Better from the arc where he hits 2 triples out of 3 Brotto sends him on a mission to Cinciarini and manages to nullify the Pesaro playmaker 4 rebounds and the usual energy on both sides of the court as many rebounds and a block that did not go on the scoresheet in the minutes allowed Lacey 6.5: in the first leg he scored 20 points The game was very heavy and the captain responded present Lots of leadership and important baskets (see the triple in the 4th quarter that had given the advantage to his team) 5 rebounds on his scoresheet and a physical form that is slowly returning Dreznjak 4: the Croatian big man's difficult moment continues In the last two he is 0/10 from the arc and this affects him in other aspects of the game 6 points and 4 rebounds are too few and Cremona cannot give up a foreigner Owens 7.5: after the rumors during the week he responds with an important performance He almost reaches a double double with 20 points and 9 rebounds Intimidating under the boards with 5 blocks When he is involved in attack he is a factor and tonight it was evident Broth 7: tries different setups depending on the opponents' solutions that paid off The quintet with Nikolic at small forward with Owens and Poser gave more physicality and paid dividends Good at managing the rotations with the men in confidence Gray 7: the 30 points scored are not news (best scorer of the championship) but the 3 blocks are It seems that every time you raise your hands he can score Good at earning trips to the free throw line and converting them (11/11) The only flaw is that attempted triple that doesn't even reach the rim as he is more focused on looking for a foul animated 4.5: a lot of damage when he is on the court Sorokas 5.5: he never scores from beyond the arc (0/4) but he makes his mark on the rebound (8) His performance was definitely better than that of his teammate Pinkins Mishaps 5.5: he doesn't do any harm in the 11 minutes he conceded in which he scores two triples one of which is difficult in the fourth quarter to catch up with Cremona Pinkins 4: returning after a long layoff and it is clear that he must recover his best condition 5 points with only 3 shots taken but also 5 fouls committed for the captain of the Campania team Cinciarini 4: 2 points from the free throw line in the first quarter and then nothing 0/8 from the field and he can't be the playmaker we've become accustomed to in recent years (2 assists) Stewart 5: he doesn't repeat the performance of the first leg when he scored 35 he scores 11 points with 3/15 from the field He makes his presence felt in defense but it's not enough proof A solid double double of 17 points (season high) and 15 rebounds (always a season high with 7 in attack) Accurate from the field with 7/8 and many balls recovered "from the garbage" and converted into two points To think that during the season he was averaging 7 points and 4 rebounds Ramondino 5: still hasn't found the first success and sees Cremona catch up with him in the standings When Cinciarini and Pinkins don't have a positive night and shoot 22% from the arc it's difficult to win away Legabasket is preparing to welcome a great return Marco Ramondino he would in fact be ready to take charge of a Serie A bench again according to what we have been able to gather from our sources has reached an agreement with the Givova Scafati Already in the morning the rumors they had spoken of a rapprochement between the parties and now Ramondino will be the new head coach of the Campania team various rumors had linked his name to several benches Ramondino was also in talks with GeVi Napoli but then the deal did not materialize due to a gap that was too large between the offer and the requests of the former Tortona coach The Avellino native will thus replace Damiano Pilot who became head coach after the end of his relationship with Marcelo Nicola This will therefore be yet another change of direction for a Serie A bench, within what is a moment of real storm for Givova. The controversy surrounding the match played by the Campania team against Trieste has recently caused a stir, with the patron Longobardi having an outburst in a press conference and a lot of heavy disqualifications by the Sports Judge Bertram wants the last available place for reach the Final Eight Scafati on the other side fights for every victory that can distance it from the relegation zone Throughout the first half the two teams they are equivalent neither of them gave the other room to create significant partial advantages thus bringing the score at half time to 47-50 in favor of the visiting team The balance persists until Scafati manages to close the third quarter at +10 Bertram does not give up, the PalaFerraris and the players themselves warm up and try to reduce the disadvantage, until they reach parity at 91-91 with 1:53 left.MVP Vital score one sensational triple which gives a lead of +3 with 20 seconds to go, 13 seconds decides to do it again giving Bertram a spot in the Final Eight. It ends 99-94 Scafati finds the first home victory against a Vanoli Cremona who struggles immensely to score Best player of the match Elijah Stewart who closes with 35 points Zanelli 6.5 : he plays

and scored the triple that made the game easier for Givova he can't find space in coach Nicola's rotations Booth 5.5: he plays little and has an impact all the same A game of little importance for the Cremonese guard Eboua 6.5: among the best of a Vanoli team that appeared to have a lot of difficulty shooting Jones xnumx: on a few occasions he manages to put the Scafatese rearguard in difficulty Davis 6 : the only one of his who finishes with a positive plus/minus despite this he is very inaccurate in shooting Accounts 6: he proves to be a good rotation player but finds himself very low down in coach Cavina's hierarchies Terrible game for the basketball player from Perugia Nikolic 6.5: keeps the team on its feet for a long time nevertheless surrenders to a Scafati that appeared superior throughout the match Poser 6.5: despite the little time he played he made his mark down there and showed that he is an excellent player ready for the category Lacey 7: 20 points and nomination as best

absences of Valentine and Ross Kings 6.5: although he has not shone in attack he applies himself in defense against high-level opponents.  deangeli 6.5: 12 minutes on the pitch in which he gives his all for the team in every way possible He scores threes when needed and is one of the protagonists of the decisive escape of Trieste More and more decisive for this team and more and more leader Candussi 6+: good game both in defense and attack he struggles with the percentages from three (2/6) Brown 5.5: definitely not his game on offense He struggles with his shooting percentages and finishes with only 5 points Brooks 7.5: a game of “substance” and more He scores a double double of 11+10 and remains a central component for the defense of the Giuliani McDermott 6.5: finally gets going after some difficult games He finds consistency in his 3-point shot (3 / 4) and closes with 9 points Johnson 7+: dominant presence under the boards lots of intensity and defense in his “only” 15' on the parquet He keeps the team in touch in the first 30' but then he can't save the match with his plays animated 7: he is one of the best on the field for his team Sorokas 6.5: widely used by coach Ramondino (33') but struggles a bit with shooting percentages Scores 10 points and “captures” 4 rebounds Mishaps 7: always constantly improving in this second part of the season He “fights” in defense and in attack he scores 3 bombs Pinkins 6.5: not his best game of the season but he still tries to "make himself useful" Cinciarini 7.5: “vintage” performance with 11+11 assists scores 3-pointers (3 / 4) and is there when it matters in the final stages he has no more and is unable to change the outcome of the match Maxhuni 6+: he is useful on defense in his 17' on the parquet Jovanovic 5.5: suffers against the same role Giuliani Maybe it is the "missing piece" of Scafati which could have given them an incredible victory A Givova Scafati combative loses after overtime against of Reyer Venezia A very balanced match that the yellow and blues lost due to fatigue suffered in the final stages A 9-0 partial in extra time crushed Ramondino's team that was one step away from victory in several moments The usual MVP Mfiondu Kabengele which ends with 22 points and 12 reboundsThe game ends 92-96 Gray 5.5: below-average match for the Scafatese guard despite the 17 points Zanelli 6: when called upon he plays very well defensively Anima 5.5: dull match for the Scafatese winger Sorokas 6.5: He does his best against Kabengele but suffers offensively Mischief 5.5: He plays less due to technical choices also due to his poor percentages from the field Pinkins 7: He seems to be the player he was at the beginning of the season again Great game closed with 14 points and 7 rebounds the final choice on one of the last possessions weighs on the vote He restarts the game alone and at the start of overtime he scores mind-blowing points Jovanovic 6: His match was full of ups and downs Tessitori 6: When called upon he does very well however he struggles to fully enter the game due to his limited playing time McGruder 5: below-average match for the Venetian guard Casarin 6: he always proves to be a good rotation player Very useful and attentive in the defensive phase Moretti 5.5: dull match compared to his usual A player of another level compared to the LBA He does what he wants with the Scafatese defense Dominates far and wide throughout the game Scafati manages to close it only once thanks to a defensive belt made by Sorokas and Pinkins suffers a bit in defense due to Scafati's excellent attack Wheatle 6: important factor in the defensive phase Simms 7: Great presence on the rebound and great contribution in both phases Wiltjer 5.5: He plays less than his standards The revolution continues at Scafati, with the Campania team always looking for a final arrangement other movements are coming on the player market the arrival in Campania of Nikola Jovanovich Serbian center already seen in Italy wearing the Trento shirt Scafati's search for a forward has finally come to an end with the club announcing the signing of Nikola JovanovichThe 30-year-old Serbian already seen at work in our championship in the 2018-2019 season with the Trento jersey where he produced about 13 points and 7 rebounds per game on average for the USC Trojans After the end of his adventure in College Basketball he had a brief experience in G-League before landing in the Old Continent In Belgrade he played two good years (6 points and 3 rebounds on average) and earned a call from Trento in LBA In Italy he proved to be a very edgy and substantial player: excellent court holding despite the statistics not reflecting his attitude (5.5 points and 3.8 rebounds on average) settling on numbers of about 14.0 points and 8 rebounds per game in 25 minutes of average use with the Halcones Xalapa jersey with which he reached the finals as confirmed by the Campania Sports Director “Jovanovic’s arrival does not imply the departure of any player other than Jordan McRae who has requested to undertake another adventure at a professional level the club is actively looking for a replacement to be included as soon as possible” It starts with an excellent first quarter by Scafati who plays well in attack and with Trapani who defends strongly The yellow and blues close with 30 points scored In the second quarter the granata return to the field with three players with reliable defensive characteristics who direct the game and make it electric and tense in various moments The points continue to be scored on both sides we go to the long break with the score of 54 all Note 7,5: great performance by the American guard He shows that he can be an undisputed protagonist Horton 6,5 : He defends with great commitment He puts a lot of sand in the offensive gears of the opponents Robinson 6,5 : He loses a few balls due to his devastating acceleration but he defends and moves his teammates in an orderly fashion He defends aggressively and finds some precious three-pointers in crucial moments Generous and consistent in tonight's match he represents a point of reference for his teammates then he visibly grows giving the match an important contribution in defense and attack Mollura 6: the captain gives his contribution to the cause Pleis 6 : player with undisputed qualities he has improved compared to his previous performance We are certain that he will give his contribution as soon as he returns to physical condition Gray 7 : excellent performance by the Scafati player great shooter and leader of the yellow and blues starts in the starting five but his contribution tonight is not there Misfits 5,5 : some good shots but nothing more Pinkins 7 : 21 points from a great performance Blue Tits 6 : performance just sufficient three important conclusions and little else Daniel 5,5: three free throws and little else who arrived at the end of September to strengthen the Campania team that scored six points will have time and opportunity to settle in The season hasn't even officially started yet. Scafati there is already talk of the market The friendlies have already highlighted a gap in the new Campania roster entrusted to coach Marcelo Nicola: the presence under the basket So that's it The morning reports a market news that involves Scafati. According to the Campania newspaper, the management is evaluating the addition of John Brown, which was a few days ago released by Monaco The 203-centimeter American center also boasts a fair amount of experience in our championship John Brown played with the jerseys of Rome (2016-2017 season) John has been sidelined since the summer due to shoulder surgery If his physical condition is significantly improving he could be the one to fill the gap in technique and experience that Scafati has shown in his very first outings of the season John Brown finished the season with 5.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in the French league Autonoma is a participant in Cohort 3 of Transform, a data science and AI startup accelerator powered by Deep Tech Ventures at the University of Chicago’s Polsky

infrastructure engineers bonded over a shared vision of finding a way to tackle one of the most pervasive problems plaguing the tech industry – technical debt this team is working on a groundbreaking approach to detect and solve the challenge of reworking costs when engineers choose an easy but limited solution instead of a better approach that could take more time Unlike traditional methods, which often involve high consulting fees and working with big-name firms, Autonoma is revolutionizing the space through the use of generative AI Its platform continuously monitors for modernization opportunities and provides comprehensive documentation and diagramming of entire codebases ensuring businesses can maintain their operational agility free from vendor lock-ins and knowledge gaps The application of AI to this problem is not just suitable; it is essential Human analysis of sprawling and intricate codebases is a nearly impossible task Autonoma leverages generative AI to navigate this complexity changing the landscape of software maintenance and modernization the team aims to build its proprietary technology and bring on its first customers and introduce a freemium model to the market Autonoma has big plans to change software development as a whole “We hope to change how software is built,” said Scafati “While everyone is trying to make things faster by providing code completion tools we are tackling the whole software development life cycle and rebuilding it we aim to allow users to be able to modernize legacy code with just one click.” the team wants to learn

spreads his arms in an “unconventional signal” which probably means to him: I saw everything and nothing happened The most controversial episode of the match Stewart stands in front of him with his feet outside the semicircle The referees initially whistle a foul for charging the Trieste point guard the referees see Stewart's lateral movement and decide to change their decision do the rules provide that a decision can be changed in a case like this View post on imgur.com Let's start from an assumption: there is no foul in attack the defender certainly moves laterally and the contact is his responsibility In Italy they use the EL rule of the semicircle: so if the "second" defender (helper) has at least one foot on the semicircle it cannot be an offense foul but must be a defense foul The situation can only be reviewed from 02:00 onwards of the 4th Q or of each overtime As for all challenges requested by coaches Recently there has been an interpretation (adopted both in EL and LBA) so if the foul occurs near the semicircle and is still by the defender the whistle is inverted (as happened in this case) Coaches should know this "facet" of the rule which was explained to them before the start of the championship With the start of the dredging and cleaning of the Bottaro and Casadodici canals the first priority actions among those envisaged in the Great Sarno River Project start in the municipality of Scafati A symbol according to the President of the Campania Region who intervened to witness the start of the works after there were nothing but maps and not even a design for years “Now we are reclaiming the Bottaro canal – said De Luca – then we will continue with other interventions in the area of Sarno in Striano and castel San Gorgio We are working to complete the sewage network and sewers.” In Scafati in particular the construction of the sewerage network and the works are underway Significant intervention for the city of Scafati for which an urban regeneration program has been financed to improve the city's social services A relationship of institutional collaboration that overcomes ideological and party barriers as underlined by President De Luca and the mayor of Scafati financed by European funds (€ 715 987.23 POR FESR 2014/2020) is to restore the original hydraulic sections of the two canals along their route which crosses the urban centre of Scafati by removing approximately 10 000 m3 of sediment and waste (classified as non-hazardous) and to improve hygiene and health conditions by removing the waste accumulated over the years with the elimination of odours In addition to the works in the Scafati canals which took place some 30 years after the last extraordinary maintenance work (in 1991) there are three other urgent interventions aimed at reducing the widespread flooding phenomena in the Sarno river basin during the Rio Sguazzatorio’ in the municipality of San Marzano sul Sarno the restoration of the hydraulic functionality of the Valesana absorption tank in Campomanfoli in the municipality of Castel San Giorgio (Sa) and the hydraulic reclamation of the Lavorate plain in the municipality of Sarno « Back Staatliche Museen zu Berlin The Hamburger Bahnhof is holding an exhibition entitled Under Construction which will present the latest additions to the Nationalgalerie collection The museum has been able to acquire these new objects over the past few years thanks in large part to funding from the Freunde der Nationalgalerie Ever since the institution was founded in 1861, the collection of the Nationalgalerie has continually been expanded to include contemporary works from each passing era. The collection has been “under reconstruction” since the exhibition and research project Hello World: Revising a Collection (2018) which reflected on the political and cultural ramifications of the Nationalgalerie’s approach to collecting and called for non-Western art movements and transcultural approaches to be incorporated into the museum’s practices and collections In a presentation of selected new acquisitions which since 2005 have been made possible in great part thanks to the support of the Stiftung des Verein der Freunde der Nationalgalerie für zeitgenössische Kunst the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart is showing works by international artists in various media these works influence how we look at both past and present while evolving the collection and challenging and negotiating its function as the identity of the museum audiences will be able to see how these works are able to constantly produce new readings with the museum serving as the site of a lively process of interrogation and interpretation The exhibition is curated by Gabriele Knapstein This exhibition was made possible by the Freunde der Nationalgalerie A special exhibition by the Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Berlin Art Week 2022: Special Events at Hamburger Bahnhof and the Neue Nationalgalerie The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Joins the Long Night of Museums on 27 August 2022 Get Away to the (Museum) Island!

According to the club's press release: «Close to departure, he only left a WhatsApp message to the general manager and the sporting director, with which he communicated his intention» pic.twitter.com/aQhhsrOoAZ — Alessandro Luigi Maggi (@AlessandroMagg4) January 30, 2024 Trying to find meaning in this decision (in primis) from the player obviously Only Logan can know what pushed him to opt for this choice in a still positive moment of his career and above all positive of the season the company has not let others shine rumors regarding the issue leaving the official statement as the only explanation is to stick to what we know and be sorry for a less than positive conclusion to a relationship that Devoted mother of Francis Scafati and his wife Margaret of Natick Kathleen Moody and her husband Bruce of Plymouth Robert Scafati and his wife Theresa of Westwood and Richard Scafati and his wife Paula of Franklin Also survived by 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.Funeral will take place from the George F Doherty & Sons Wilson-Cannon Funeral Home at 456 High St donations may be made in Eileen’s memory to:  Alzheimer's Association480 Pleasant St.Watertown Relatives and friends are kindly invited to gather in the George F Doherty & Sons Wilson-Cannon Funeral Home in Dedham on Tuesday George Haugh of Dedham and Eileen Cataldo and her husband James of Dedham Gertrude McGrath and James Haugh of South Boston Robert Haugh of Plympton and the late Thomas Haugh Visiting hour prior to service 10-11:15 a.m In lieu of flowers donations in George’s memory may be made to:Friends of the Dedham Library 43 Church St Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.
