In a move that is going to be a frequent feature this year, all four EuroLeague matches coincided with each other yesterday with three of them starting at the exact same time - 20:30 CET.

Yesterday, AS Monaco players Jordan Loyd and Mike James were spotted in the UEFA Europa League football game between AS Monaco and Crvena Zvezda. Later that evening, James criticized the EuroLeague for scheduling all matches of the day to begin basically at the same time.

"Dear EuroLeague," James tweeted. "Can we find a way to have these games being played at different times so we can enjoy all the talent we have to offer?"

Notably, only the match between Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz and Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv started at a different time (20:15 CET). Otherwise, the remaining three duels were scheduled for 20:30 CET, forcing basketball fans to choose only one match out of the four if they want to watch it fully.

Today's evening, although better due to Zalgiris Kaunas playing at home, is similar in this regard as well. Besides the first match between the Lithuanian team and ALBA Berlin, all other four games start within half an hour of one another.
