Montepaschi - The Italian King

Montepaschi Siena continues dominating the Lega Basket A. After defeating Carife Ferrara by 103-75 last weekend, Siena extended its winning streak to 19 games. They haven't been beaten by any Italian team yet since the domestic season started in October. They are ahead of the second place holder, Lottomatica Roma (13-6 record), after 19 weeks. The current Top 5 is as follows:

• Montepaschi 19-0
• Lottomatica 13-6
• Bancatercas 12-7
• Fortezza Bologna 12-7
• NGC Cantu 11-6

They are 3 wins away to break the Italian record of having the longest consecutive winning streak, which is currently hold by Virtus Bologna. As I mentioned before, they are also playing very good in Euroleague and very likely to proceed to the quarter-final playoffs. I think this is the team everybody should keep an eye on.
