About the great victory against Olympiakos and the following game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, he spoke Panagiotis Kalaitzakisemphasizing the good form that Panathinaikos AKTOR is in.
“In the last month or two we have been playing very good basketball and we are getting closer to our peak, what we can do as a team. We definitely have some injury problems, I don’t think we’ve played full since the start of the season. When you play matches like those against Olympiakos, even if you have only five or six players available, you have to win. We all know the importance of these games. I think that this victory will give us a boost for the future, since as I mentioned above we are already playing very well. We are in good shape, we are happy but the continuation is difficult both with the Euroleague matches and with the Final 8 of the Cup».
Asked about the Maccabi district, he said: “In addition to Brown and Baldwin, Maccabi has other players who shoot well and have the required experience, such as DiBartolomeo and Blatt. They are a fighting team, let’s play our game and fight for the win».
Finally, when asked if he feels ready to take on a… special mission in dealing with Baldwin, he said: “When you are a young Greek and you play a big team like Panathinaikos, with the quality roster we have, you have to fight hard to earn your time on the floor. What my coaches have assigned me is to come in and energize the team. If it takes a special assignment with Baldwin, as long as my coach assigns it to me, that’s something I’ll love. It’s something I can do and I’ll gladly do it».
