¿Ginóbili punked by award? (No femenino)
Here's an interesting note -- some sportswriters and fans of Manu Ginóbili, the Argentine guard for the NBA San Antonio Spurs, think their man was dissed by being given the NBA's Sixth Man Award. Elizabeth White's AP story in Miami's El Nuevo Herald, Premio a Ginoóbili es tomado como una ofensa en Argentina (Ginóbili's prize seen as insult in Argentina explains that in Ginóbili's home country, many feel it is a slight to describe the Spurs' tempo-wrecking menace as a "substitute."
The daily paper La Nación blasted the NBA for applying the designation, saying in part, "He's only called that because the blockheads that run the NBA think any player who starts the game on the bench is a sub."
The Nuevo Herald notes that even without starting, Ginóbili led the Spurs in scoring, averaging 19.5 ppg in the regular season, and was the only player in the NBA to average at least 17 points while playing less than 32 minutes per game.
Ginóbili is a clutch scorer, indispensable to his team, and many in Argentina (and here, no doubt) feel the Sixth Man award was a slight, when the Spurs' game-changer was a strong contender for MVP.

The battle for second place
(or, pity the Jealous Extremaduran (Celoso Extremeño), about to be sent down to second division)
By Clara Bermejo for FEB, translated by Jenna McKenna for Hoops-Nena.com
Two weeks and it’s game on for second place, fourth, eighth, and the battle to avoid getting sent down. Ten of 14 teams still in competition are locked in a battle for their destiny. Here we’ll look at each team’s record and see what outcomes could await them.
With Ros Casares already comfortably installed in first place in the Liga Regular, the main focus now is to secure the second place spot and home court advantage for the semifinals. CB San José is mathematically eliminated from second place, so that leaves EBE Promociones Santa Eulalia and Perfumerías Avenida.
EBE PROMOCIONES SANTA EULALIA
Record: 18-6
Left to play: Mann Filter (home) y Ros Casares (away)
Tiebreakers: They’ve beaten Perfumerías Avenida (+8) and lost to San José (-5). In a triple tiebreak with both, the Salmantinas (Avenida) would come out on top.
Needed for second place: Win both remaining games; win one game if Avenida doesn’t win both; can survive losing both games if Avenida and San Jose also lose both their remaining games.
PERFUMERÍAS AVENIDA
Record: 18-6
Left to play: Extremadura Dato (home) y Extrugasa (away)
Tiebreakers: They’ve lost to EBE Promociones (-8) and won against San José (2-0). In a triple tiebreak with both, Avenidas has the advantage.
Needed for second place: Win one game more than EBE Promociones; or Avenida and EBE could lose both and come to a triple tiebreak with San José
PASSPORT TO THE SEMIFINALS
Should be in the hands of Baloncesto San José, but Rivas Futura has a slim chance of getting the fourth slot for the semis.
BALONCESTO SAN JOSÉ
Record: 16-8
Left to play: Hondarribia (away) and Cadi La Seu d’Urgell (home)
Tiebreakers: They’ve beaten Rivas (+8)
Needed to get to semis: Win one of two games or hope Rivas loses one of their two.
RIVAS FUTURA
Record: 15-9
Left to play: Celta Vigourban (away) and Arranz Jopisa Burgos (home)
Tiebreakers: They’ve lost to San José (-8)
Needed to get to semis: Win both games and hope Bto San José loses both.
FOUR TEAMS FOR EIGHTH PLACE
Celta Vigourban, Extrugasa and Rivas Futura (or – remote possibility – San José) are the teams in the playoff to get the two Euroleague spots. There is one other spot with four teams competing for it, currently tied with nine wins each. There are plenty of possibilities, with two direct confrontations in the group.
HONDARRIBIA IRÚN
Record: 9-15
Left to play: CB San José (home) and Mann Filter Zaragoza (away)
Tiebreakers: They’ve beaten Cadi (2-0) and Olesa (+9), and lost to Gran Canaria (0-2). In triple tiebreaks they will lose the advantage whenever Canaria is involved.
GRAN CANARIA LA CAJA DE CANARIAS
Record: 9-15
Left to play: Extrugasa (home) and CB Olesa Espanyol (away)
Tiebreakers: They’ve beaten Hondarribia (2-0), lost to Cadi (-3) and one game left in the series with Olesa (which beat them at home by 11). They need to close out the Olesa series with a win.
CB OLESA ESPANYOL
Record: 9-15
Left to play: Cadi La Seu D’Urgell (away) and Gran Canaria (home)
Tiebreakers: They’re down against Hondarribia (-9) y and have a series-deciding game against Gran Canaria (which they beat by 11 in Las Palmas) and another against Cadi (which they also beat by 11 at home). If Olesa wins both games, they still need Hondarribia to lose one of two.
CADI LA SEU D’URGELL
Record: 9-15
Left to play: CB Olesa Espanyol (home) and CB San José (away)
Tiebreakers: They’ve lost to Hondarribia (0-2), won against Gran Canaria (+3) and have a series-decider with Olesa (to whom they’ve lost by 11 at Olesa). They don’t have much chance in triple tiebreaks, needing to win both their own games and hope for a total collapse by Hondarribia.
THE SEND-DOWN DRAMA
With Arranz Jopisa Burgos already sent down, Extremadura Dato and Mann Filter Zaragoza are fighting to stay out of second place, with a slight advantage to the Aragonesas.
MANN FILTER ZARAGOZA
Record: 7-17
Left to play: EBE Promociones (away) and Hondarribia (home)
Tiebreakers: They’ve beaten Extremadura (2-0)
Needed to stay up: Win at least as many games as Extremadura.
EXTREMADURA DATO
Record: 7-17
Left to play: Perfumerías Avenida (away) and Celta Vigourban (home)
Tiebreakers: They’ve lost to Mann Filter (0-2)
Needed to stay up: Win one more game than Mann Filter.
*There is the remote possibility that, in case both Mann Filter Zaragosa and Extremadura dato win both their games, there could be triple or quadruple tiebreaks amond the teams with nine wins. In those cases, Extremadura has the disadvantage for their losing record and -36 in their losses to Mann Filter.
**In case of a triple tiebreak with Arranz Jopisa Burgos, Mann Filter would come out on top.

Ciudad Ros Casares gets audience with Her Majesty, The Queen
Her Majesty the Queen conceded the afternoon of April 15 for an audience with Ciudad Ros Casares Valencia for their attainment, last February 17, of the fifth Queen’s Cup in club history. The audience took place at 7 p.m. at the Palacio de la Zarzuela in Madrid.
Germán Ros, president of Ros Casares Valencia, headed up the club’s direction, from which no component faltered. From the players to the staff, everyone worked together towards this historic achievement.
The audience began with a welcome by Her Majesty to the entire group. Later, an official photo was taken of the audience. Club president Germán Ros then made a speech of gratitude.
“Today is a historic day, full of happiness for me, and, most especially, for all those people, organizations and businesses that have contributed in order to enable the Ciudad Ros Casares project a beautiful reality,” Ros said.
According to the president, “This women’s basketball team, which has achieved dominance in the Spanish league and earned the respect of Europe, encompasses perfectly the values of an enterprise that grows out of a set of values that makes it different, special. Effort, urgency, and, above all, unity is our point of view.”
Her Majesty the Queen, who received a miniature replica of the Queen’s Cup, a uniform jersey and a signed photograph, closed the audience with some heartfelt words of thanks towards Ciudad Ros Casares.
Ciudad Ros Casares Valencia won its fifth Queen’s Cup title this past February 17, its second time getting back-to-back wins. The Valencian club has taken away titles in the 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2006-07 and 2007-08 tournaments.
After winning the Queen’s Cup in Sevilla, a party from Ciudad Ros Casares Valencia was received by the Mayor of Valencia, Rita Barberá, and the President of the Generalitat, Francisco Camps.
In an achievement uncommon in the world of sports, Ciudad Ros Casares Valencia was able to successfully defend its Queen’s Cup title, the fifth to be added to its trophy case. The Valencian group overcame CB San José de León (68-66) in a close final. To get to the championship game, Ciudad Ros Casares had to get past Rivas Futura (73-42) and EBE Promociones Santa Eulalia (71-63), winning three games in scarcely three days.
With the Queen’s Cup title sewn up in Seville, Ciudad Ros Casares confirmed its supremacy in the Spanish league. The Valencian club has won the last five national championships. In the 2006-07 season, Ciudad Ros Casares won the Supercup, the Queen’s Cup and the Liga Femenina. In that season, the most successful in club history, Ros went one better and made it to the final of the Euroliga Femenina. The 2007-08 season has begun in similarly successful fashion, with the winning of the Supercup and Queen’s Cup titles.
The next challenge for Ciudad Ros Casares is to repeat as Liga Femenina champions. With two weeks left, the team has locked down first place for the regular season. After playing at Arranz Jopisa Burgos and hosting EBE Promociones Santa Eulalia, Vicente Collado’s team will launch their playoff push for the title, starting Wednesday, April 30.
The Liga Femenina semifinals will be played to the best of three games, set for Wednesday April 30, Friday May 2 and Sunday May 4. The championship will be played Friday May 9, Sunday May 11 and Wednesday May 14. In both series, Ciudad Ros Casares will have home court advantage in the event of a third game, which would be played at the Fonteta.

Jenni Benningfield leaves Cadi for the WNBA
The north American wing-pivot will join the New York Liberty next week, leaving Cadi this week. Benningfield and club ownership, Sedis Bàsquet have come to an agreement to terminate her contract prior to the end of the season.
Benningfield's reason for leaving Cadi is her signing with the U.S.-based WNBA New York Liberty. She expects to join her new team next week in order to be there for the preseason. Further, the team has agreed to her leaving, which was not unexpected. Benningfield will play her last game with the team on Saturday, April 19, against Olesa Espanyol.
This season, Benningfield has played in 14 of the club's 24 games. The center-wing had been bothered by an injury (torn calf muscle) that laid her low through the middle of the season. She averaged 13.5 points per game, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Parker, Fowles, Wiggins van a un, dos, tres en el Draft
(Foto por Dave Colón/Erlana Larkins de Carolina del Norte, seleccionada número 14 por Nueva York, asistió al partido de WBCA All-America secondaria femenina. Aqui, está con Hoops Nena directora Jenna McKenna.)Los obreros del pabellon de St. Pete Times Forum apenas habian limpiado el piso después que derrotaron los Lady Vols al Stanford Cardinal cuando se seleccionaron a Candace Parker, Sylvia Fowles y Candice Wiggins con las opciones primera, secondaria y tercera del WNBA Draft el proximo día.
No se sorprendió mucho el orden de las seleccionadas en el primer episodio. Por lo menos, once de las catorce jugadoras en el primer episodio acabaron de jugar o en el Elite Eight o en el Final Four del campeonato NCAA femenino.
Para que vea el orden completo del Draft, visite al WNBA draft board.

Estuve allí, pero no lo vi
Ayer fuimos (mi fotografo y yo) al semifinal nacional de NCAA baloncesto femenino al St. Pete Times Forum en Tampa. Sintimos en el tercer nivel, aproximadamente una milla lejos de la cancha. Stanford derrotó a UCONN y Tennessee derrotó a LSU, pero no estoy segura exactamente como lo hicieron.
Lo que yo se por seguro es que yo no soy afan de ser afan; prefiero estar al lado de la cancha con camera, cuaderno y credenciales.
A pesar del disgusto de los partidos, vistos por lejos, la experiencia de jugar baloncesto en Hoop City, una celebración del juego de baloncesto que ocurrió en el Convention Center, fue divertissimo. En la Ciudad de los Hoops, tenín varios media canchas para partidos entre equipos de tres jugadores. Ademas, tenín maquinas de hacer tiros libros en una gran linea, como los del Dave & Buster's o Chuck E. Cheese's -- pero en este caso, !se jugaban gratis!
Nota para el semifinal nacional: C

!Vamos pa' Tampa!
Ayer recibimos nuestras entradas al Final Four Femenino de NCAA en Tampa. No puedo creer que vamos a ir, pero sí es la verdad.
Sera solamente la segunda vez que he visto al Tennessee en realidad; igualmente con UCONN. Nunca he visto ni al Stanford ni al LSU.
Me encantaría conocer a los entrenadores Pat Summitt, Geno Auriemma, Tara VanDerVeer y Van Chancellor. Particularmente me gustaría preguntar a Auriemma como han mejorado los Lady Bulls de USF desde la primera vez que USF enfrentaron a UCONN en 2004.
No se si tengo tiempo para hacer entradas este fin de semana, ya que tenemos que guiar pa' Tampa de Gainesville el sabado, quedarnos en hotel el sabado por la noche, y volver a Gainesville el lunes despues de los juegos. Tenemos que trabajar el lunes, tambien el miercoles, entonces, sera unos días muy occupados.
Sin embargo, ojalá que tengamos retratos para enseñarles en seguida que este cumpleado el evento.
