Magic to play CSKA Moscow

by Marie on Jul 29, 2008 6:56 PM EDT Comment 3 comments

As part of the Euroleague American Tour, CSKA Moscow will play the Orlando Magic on October 10. Along with CSKA Moscow, other teams in the Euroleague tour include FC Barcelona and Lietuvos Rytas (from Lithuania), according to ESPN.com. These teams will then go against the Magic, LA Lakers, Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors and possibly the LA Clippers.

I personally would love to see this. I try to catch Euroleague games when they show it on NBA TV and find the quick, uptempo style fun to watch. It's also a great opportunity to spot international talent and learn about the players overseas in case they make it to the NBA.

Great game

I can’t wait to see us play the European Champs. Especially with the Euro’s buying power creating a competition for players now these games have a little more edge to them. I we’ll win obviously but it should be semi close with us being rusty and what not.
