Brown against Panathinaikos: “Their behavior is cowardly”

Caustic against Panathinaikos’ reactions to the arbitration was Lorenzo Brown speaking to Israel Hayom after the Maccabi defeat in Game 2.

“I do not know what to say. I do not play or participate in this game being played on social media. I don’t know how to explain the behavior of Panathinaikos, it was cowardly. Complaining about referees is not basketball. You prepare a game and if you win… you win, if you lose… you lose“, said the American guard.

As for the continuation of the series, he said:We’ll have to see what didn’t work in the second game and try to fix it. I believe we played correctly, but Panathinaikos took advantage of their home ground and got a difference. We managed to get close but not pull off the upset because they scored a lot of points from our stupid mistakes».

Of Baldwin’s injury he said: “Wade is a big part of our team and if he is gone we will have to make some adjustments to our game. But we played without him at the beginning of the season and we responded. This is what we should do now, if necessary».

Finally, regarding the support of Maccabi’s friends in Belgrade next week, he said:The presence of our world can have a positive effect on us. Our audience always creates a great atmosphere. This year we missed them all season but we got here united. I hope to have as many people with us as possible».
