THE Panathinaikos did not manage to show a positive face against almost at any point of the match Lantern and was easily defeated by a score of 83-69, falling to 1-2 in the Euroleaguewith his team Dimitris Itoudis to go up to 2-1.
After the match, the Greek coach emphasized that his team was indeed the best on the court, however he pointed out that the “greens” are a good team that has the future in their hands and the potential to go all the way.
In detail what the Greek technician said:
“We were the best team on the court today. We had a great opponent. We faithfully followed our game plan. Panathinaikos is a good team that was created in the summer to go all the way. They have the future in their hands, but they are a young team. We shared the ball well and were the better team.
We have to be a better team in away games as well, but the fans gave us a big boost. We created good shots. We have one more game in less than 48 hours, we need to find our energy again and prepare for the Villeurbanne match.
After Dorsey’s injury we have our eyes and ears open to the market. We are happy with the players we have and believe Tyler will come back stronger and more determined. Goodrich played a very good match, Calathes played a great match. This is Nick Calathes. When he is on the floor and hands out more than 5 assists, the chances of us winning go up to 80%. That is enough.
He is a veteran and can give feedback to the younger players. In the match against Valencia he didn’t play much, but it has nothing to do with whether or not I believe in a player. I’m looking to find the chemistry. I try different strategies. The mileage he has logged helps him adapt better when he hasn’t played much in previous games. Nick Calathes never falls back, he always falls forward (psychologically)”.
