Head coach Pini Gershon welcomes back Tal Burstein who missed the last two Euroleague games through injury. &#8220;I don`t know how much he will be able to play&#8221;, says Gershon, &#8220;but I am sure he is going to contribute&#8221;. Jasmin Repesa, the Croatian coach of Climamio, thinks that Maccabi were lucky to win 89-84 in Bologna. &#8220;But there is no doubt that at home Maccabi are always favorites&#8221;, says Repesa. And he should know. He coached the team that were thrashed 74-118 in the Final Four 2004 Final at the NOKIA Arena. In four games vs Gershon, Repesa won only once, 99-89 on January 2004 in Tel Aviv. Maccabi holds a 6-4 lead in meetings between the two clubs.
