Argyris Pedoulakis made reference to the turnovers committed during the encounter versus Fenerbahce/Ulker but also to Panathinaikos’ effort in the final quarter.
“In the second and the third especially the second quarter we were far from our team spirit maybe also due to the pressure and the attending crowd. We did not read the game well. Many players were on a bad day. We do not have the experience to live up to such difficulties. Wecommitted many turnovers. It was a bad eve. We must see this part and analyze it. We must understand that in order to make it we must be smart inbounds of the court. The team does not give up, it has character. That is not enough. We are after something more. Fenerbahce /Ulker set us off our plays and it must be remedied. We will correct it”.
Roko Leni Ukic stressed after the encounter: “We made many mistakes and missed many easy baskets. We must work better next. Itwas a tough game. We performed a catastrophic second quarter, made many dumb turnovers and missed easy shots, flunked lay-ups that were our game. We are better than what we present. We are looking towards our next games. Every single one is special and we must fight hard at every match up. It was weird for me to play as an opponent in this court today, but it is just a game and we must look towards the ensuing season”.
