Tough guys

Euroleague playoffs start in Moscow for our team. Bilbao is already came here from Spain to fight for the place in the Final Four.

The preparation to the series started just after the win over Lokomotiv. The team does not have injured or ill players, so the dozen in the roster will be decided before the game.

"I don’t think about the whole series right now”, - CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. “All my thoughts are about game one. Pretty sure that the opponents think the same way. They have a number of great shooters we have to stop. From the other side we have very good big guys and that will be the task for Bilbao to stop them. I don’t think that some of the players will be able to take over the series. It will be the team against the team. They are well-organized, very tough, they have experienced, good quality players who know how to play in difficult situations. But the same can be said about us, too. So I expect this series to be the battle of two very good teams."
