Obviously, Panathinaikos does not have a scoring goal from this year ‘s Euroleague, but in Istanbul against Anantolou Efes became what he committed to Jeremy Evans, who spoke of respect for the jersey and the players themselves.
However, for Panathinaikos, an appearance of consolation does not say anything, especially since it was not the first time that he loses a Euroleague game through his hands.
The coach of the podium records in sport-fm.gr his conclusions from the match in Polis.
It was not the first time: Normally a team with the Panathinaikos jersey would hardly lose such a game or even if it happened (because we are talking about basketball) it would not happen for the fourth or fifth time in the same season. However, this year is not the rule for the “greens” and he must learn to live with his imperfections. So, one more is added to the list of lost matches that he was holding in his hands. The negative results were preceded by Basconia (away), Unix Kazan (home), Bayern Munich (away) and Barcelona (home). If the psychology (not the situation) had taken half of these matches, it would have been a bit better.
He lost the important three points: At some point in the middle of the fourth period, Panathinaikos had reached its percentage from three points to 50% with 12/24 and the score was 76-73 in its favor. Unsuccessful attempts by Papapetrou, White and Sant-Ross followed, which if Panathinaikos ended up in the net, it would be very difficult for them to lose the game. It was an opportunity for the “greens”, since on the other hand, Mitsic broke them (0/7) and Larkin put three in the first period and then had 0/4. It is difficult for something like this to happen again.
Timios Kavvadas: Obviously not γι Papagiannis, but the approximately 16 minutes of participation of Vassilis Kavvadas was a reward for his excellent effort against Dunston. He had 8 points with 4/6 and 3 rebounds, collecting in ranking 11. The definition of honesty.
Missed surprises: One element in which Panathinaikos is called to work in view of the continuation, is the surprises. There were at least 3-4 cases in the game, where the “greens” had all the prospects for two easy points and finally… managed to score only 6.
