A rare event.
Already at the start of January, Maccabi Tel Aviv has a negative balance in the sum of Euroleague and league games - 15 wins and 16 losses. A season in which negative records are broken and the week is not over. - Nine.
Maccabi had 48 hours of relief and hope.
The victory in the arena over Hapoel Jerusalem released a lot of pressure and created a thought of changing direction.
It ended very quickly.
Maccabi not only loses, it also shows poor ability with embarrassing numbers.
She lands on the ground and understands: the crisis is still here and in a big way.
Pay attention to the numbers: Maccabi scores only 59 points, finishes 19 percent to three, loses 16 balls, loses for the fifth time this season in the league and is only in fourth place in the table.
Coach Yannis Sapropoulos, spoke at the end of the game about a lack of energy as the main reason for the loss.
He came with complaints to the administration about the density of the games.
The Greek coach has extenuating circumstances - it was indeed his third consecutive game in five days, all away games.
The thing is that the mitigating circumstances would have been acceptable if a game like yesterday had been a one-time event.
Not in a season where the team goes from one slump to another.
Not in a season where she loses in bundles.
As of this moment, there are no dramas.
The management's backing announcement to coach Sapropoulos on Thursday and the victory in Jerusalem on Saturday meant that Sapropoulos' status will not return to the discussion at this moment, but everything is temporary unless there is an immediate change.
Yannis.
No excuses, Bernie Ardov,
The goal now as stated is not to set an all-time negative record of nine consecutive Euroleague losses on Thursday against Basconia at the Hall.
It is still unclear which faculty Baskonia will come from.
The group had a number of corona cases but it did not release information regarding the amount and identity of those infected.
What is known is that the coach, Nevan Spahija, and ex-Maccabi, contracted the virus.
He has not stood on the lines in the last two games and will probably miss the game in Tel Aviv as well. In that case, his assistant, David Gil, will stand on the lines.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
