This week we look at Brex’s big weekend in the Japanese B.League with Enzo Flojo; no fewer than seven sweeps in Rounds 15 & 16 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with Moshe Barda; and why Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar fired head coach Evgeny Pashutin after Round 7 of the 7DAYS EuroCup with Antigoni Zachari.

Japanese B.League Rounds 19, 20 & 21
The TTC Gone Traveling talks to FIBA's Enzo Flojo about Rounds 19, 20 and 21 of the Japanese B.League. We talk about Brex's big week of beating the Akita Northern Happinets midweek and then SeaHorses twice over the weekend. The SunRockers had a tough week, losing to Alvark midweek and then twice to Ryukyu Golden Kings, who remained the creme de la creme in the league with an 18-3 record after their road sweep. And the Kawasaki Brave Thunders knocked off the Gunma Crane Thunders and then split with the Chiba Jets on the road. Of course we looked ahead to the Christmas weekend action which features Brex hosting Shimane Susanoo Magic and Chiba at SunRockers.
Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Rounds 15 & 16
The TTC Gone Traveling show reviews Rounds 15 and 16 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with Moshe Barda of the EuroLeague Sweet 16 podcast. We start with the surprise firing of Zvezdan Mitrovic at AS Monaco - and Dave breaking off his allegiances to the team. Meanwhile ... sweep is the word of the week with seven teams grabbing two wins. Do we actually see a bit of separation now? Is AX Armani Exchange Milan in real trouble now with the injury to Shavon Shields? Why does it seem that Maccabi Tel Aviv are always facing teams on a roll? And what do we think of CSKA Moscow?
7DAYS EuroCup Round 7
The TTC Gone Traveling show takes a look at the top action from Round 7 of the 7Days EuroCup with Antigoni Zachari of EuroHoops.net. We try to make heads or tails of Evgeny Pashutin's getting fired at Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar. It definitely wasn't due solely to their surprise loss at Hamburg Towers. Partizan NIS Belgrade meanwhile had a much much harder time than expected at home against Slask Wroclaw. And Herbalife Gran Canaria grabbed a big win at Buducnost VOLI Podgorica.
