Tonight is the Euroleague championship basketball game, and once again, the mighty Maccabi Tel Aviv will be trying to make Euroleague basketball history by winning its 6th title and thus becoming the second among the most-crowned teams ever in Europe.
Its opponent, CSKA Moscow, (who defeated Maccabi in the corresponding game of 2006 as I liveblogged here) is also aiming for its 6th title and is favorite to win after dominating the season. But Maccabi showed great character to come back from an 18-point, first-half deficit to defeat Montepaschi Siena 92-85 in the last game.
My heart tells me Maccabi, but my head says CSKA.
