Coach Spahija: “We had after the game against Zalgiris two days to prepare for this game and I think we had a good start and I hope that we will repeat it tomorrow in front of our fans and win the game”. Coach Spahija also addressed the defense issue: “We have more games than time to practice and that’s the big issue, and it takes time to understand who is who and what we can do, what’s best for us and what’s worst for us, but we can’t give excuses, we played bad defense and we have to recognize that, we have enough experience and knowledge within the staff and we know what’s the problem and we need the time In practice and things will be better”.

Neven added: “Like I said after the game against Zalgiris we had two good practices where we paid attention of the defensive end and also put the focus on the players, I hope we will be able to repeat it, secondly we are playing with a pace, and our opponents have much more possessions when they are playing against other teams, overall in the EuroLeague we are the eighth team in defending the field goal percentage which is still playoff defense but our problem is with the last five games”.
