Faith in her abilities Maccabi to win Game 5 with Panathinaikos in OAKA expressed the Odent Katas speaking at his team’s last training session before leaving for Athens.
“There is a frustration at the missed opportunity. Panathinaikos scored some big baskets at the end and we certainly could have avoided some mistakes. But we want to be competitive and claim victory. In OAKA there will be a very hot atmosphere, but we have already won twice there and I believe we can do a third. We should be focused and cool and stay united. We are proud of what we have achieved so far and we will go with faith to play our basketball. We proved in both OAKA games that we are a team that does not bend. It will be a crazy atmosphere but we have players with experience and we want to enjoy it“, he said.
As for the situation of Wade Baldwin and John DiBartolomeo he said: “Of course we would like everyone to be healthy and in the best possible condition. We’ll wait for a final examination to see if it’s even remotely likely that Baldwin will be in the top 12. DiBartolomeo is fine, he will play».
According to Israeli media, Baldwin will not compete.
