“We have a very important game and everyone on the team knows this”, said Coach Sfairopoulos. “It’s good that we’ve practiced a few more times, we started to know each other and the staff. We want to improve our game through practices, we are playing against a team that is a very solid team having the same roster for a lot of years and that means that they are really playing good as a team”.

“This game is important”, said Johnny O’Bryant. “We try to take it one game at a time, we kinda dug ourselves in a hole, but I think having coach is giving everybody a fresh start and fresh energy and I think overall we just want to keep pushing and get better. Every game is a must win I think we can win every game, Bayern have some good wins and tough losses too, for us we approach every game as a must win”. 

When asked how bad does he want to win at home in front of the fans in yellow and blue, Johnny replied: “I want it a lot, I see the people that keep showing up to watch us every game, Shimon and the rest of owners take care of us they treat us well so we try to lay it all on the line and try and get the W, Obviously coming from the NBA to here, I can see there was a big difference in terms of how passionate the fans are for their teams so we want to start gathering some W’s”. 

“This game is very important, just come out there and play hard and hopefully to get the win”, said Kendrick Ray. “It’s gonna be a big day for us, we’ve worked hard all week to prepare for this game and I think we’re going to come out ready. We just stick to what we do on the defensive end and everything will handle itself”.
