Who's hotter?

Both our team and Lokomotiv-Kuban are playing a quality basketball of late. And someone should make a step back from leaders' group in PBL after Saturday's game at USH CSKA.

Army men roster will stay practically the same as it was in the game at Dnepropetrovsk. Victor Khryapa and Alexander Kaun continue their rehabilitation programs, Kaun participates in non-contact drills with the team.

"I am happy for Kestas Kemzura, - CSKA interim coach Dmitry Shakulin said. We worked together and even won the Russian Cup. He was able to build a good team. When studying Lokomotiv games I noted that they are very similar to us, both in roster and in tactical preferences. Contradictory to toher Russian teams they use zone defense often with elements of matchup zone. I'd like to single out Wilkinson who was working with me at Khimki also. Mike added more stability in his game especially in shooting from long distance, he is the engine of the team right now. The meeting with such an opponent requires special preparations, and we say it to the players often that in a games like this every moment is important, every defensive rebound can influence the final score."
