It's even more difficult now

I can't say that I am not satisfied with players' attitude. We had some 'black' minutes and such a quality team as Panathinaikos used them. We did not show stability but we fought until the end. The team missed a lot of open shots, made too many turnovers, allowed a number of offensive rebounds and let Drew Nicholas to score 4 of 5 three-pointers. We have new players, new coach, we need time to build the system but the saddest thing is the injuries. Unfortunately, Siskauskas is added to the list, and I hope that his injury is not very serious. When we will be back to full strength I am sure that we will compete against the best European teams. We expect Khryapa to be back soon. It looks like Kaun will return after the New Year.
