THE Anthony Cleveland believes that Maccabi is capable of going against the odds in the playoffs series with him Panathinaikos. The American guard/forward does not appear to be afraid of the impact of the full OAKA and instead expects to enjoy the atmosphere.
“It’s nice to play in a packed stadium. And in the match of the regular season the stadium was full, now both games we will play will be sold out. It’s something I enjoy. You don’t get many opportunities to play games like this and in such an atmosphere. On the other hand, we will play in an empty stadium. I wish the conditions were different and we were playing at our natural home. But the fact that we got this far despite these difficulties makes our journey even more special. We want to achieve something that no one else has ever achieved. We will again try to go against the odds, as we have done all season“, he emphasized.
As for whether his team will have to make adjustments, Cleveland said: “I don’t think we should change anything. We’ve only lost one game since February so we’ll have to do what we’ve done well so far. Perhaps we should be even more focused, but there is no need to make changes to a successful recipe. I think our coach is always cool too, so no adjustments are needed. Maybe we all just pay a little more attention to the details».
