The Greek said ahead of tomorrow: “We are playing against one of the best teams in the league and a senior candidate to reach the Final Four, she has players with experience and a quality coach. We are after a loss in Munich and will work hard to get back on track. Our players will give everything and try to work well defensively and offensively. "
On Scottie Wilbkin's contract extension: “We decided to keep him and I'm happy about it, that was one of our goals. With this signature we create continuity, Scotty is pleased here and that was the reason he extended the contract. I am satisfied that there is continuity after I have also extended a contract. "

The Maccabi Tel Aviv coach also added: "It's a tough game and every Euroleague game is like that. It's an important game like every other. We will fight for the hardball on every ball, every rebound, every defense and every attack. "The players know what to do and what our plan is. I and my team have analyzed the opponent and we want to direct our players how to attack correctly."
About dealing with the injuries: “It's not easy to play at that level with the injuries and that's why we lost a few games. We brought in new players recently to deal with it, Nate Walters came back from injury and then injured again, we can play better together with the new players. There is great potential here to play better, to play good basketball as we know it. "
