In detail what the coach of Panathinaikos said:
For the match: “It’s the last match and we have to be ready. Alba doesn’t care if they didn’t make the playoffs, they play their own game. But we have to be ready like in the previous games in OAKA. Play aggressive defense, move the ball around, because names never win games. You win when you fight and when you play well. With Kolossos we won by luck, from a lucky shot by Grigonis. Tomorrow we will not have this comfort to risk what we have built in these 6-7 months, so we should be ready like in Germany, to play one more match in OAKA”.
For Antetokounmpo: “Everyone will play. He has a little problem, but from what I see in training everyone will play.”.
As to whether 2nd place is an excuse: “I can’t guess what will happen tomorrow. We’ll see that after the game, where we’ll talk about the regular season.”.
Regarding the statements about Vildoza: “Look, in these clubs it can happen. To happen to me and the players. Is normal. We do our job in the locker room for the world and for everyone. So everyone should take responsibility for everyone. Not only for the coach and the club, but also for his career. Today I found out that Prigioni is a coach. I had left it as a player and as an assistant in the NBA and he tried to take advantage of the situation. I think the NBA is a serious organization. I won’t answer. The NBA should do something about this. First time in my life I see this. A coach should not engage and try to create an issue. For me, my goal is victory and 2nd place”.
On Juancho’s performance with Bayern: “We took Juancho for that reason. We have a big budget, with a lot of people behind. And Juancho was happy after the match. Our expectations are for him to play like this. With this militancy. I understand that some days he will be unlucky, but we want that image. Like Papapetrou he was very good and gave energy. You can’t want to go to the Final Four with 6 players. We need them all”.
